• Authors: Steven Atkinson
• Abstract summary: There has been a surge of interest in using machine learning models to discover physical laws such as differential equations from data. We introduce a novel model comprising "leaf modules" that learn to govern functional data as neural networks. Our approach quantifies the reliability of the learned physics in terms of a posterior distribution over operators and propagates this uncertainty to solutions of novel initial-boundary value problem instances.

• Abstract: What do data tell us about physics-and what don't they tell us? There has been a surge of interest in using machine learning models to discover governing physical laws such as differential equations from data, but current methods lack uncertainty quantification to communicate their credibility. This work addresses this shortcoming from a Bayesian perspective. We introduce a novel model comprising "leaf" modules that learn to represent distinct experiments' spatiotemporal functional data as neural networks and a single "root" module that expresses a nonparametric distribution over their governing nonlinear differential operator as a Gaussian process. Automatic differentiation is used to compute the required partial derivatives from the leaf functions as inputs to the root. Our approach quantifies the reliability of the learned physics in terms of a posterior distribution over operators and propagates this uncertainty to solutions of novel initial-boundary value problem instances. Numerical experiments demonstrate the method on several nonlinear PDEs.

  We propose a physics-informed quantum algorithm to solve nonlinear and multidimensional differential equations. By measuring the overlaps between states which are representations of DE terms, we construct a loss that does not require independent sequential function evaluations on grid points. When the loss is trained variationally, our approach can be related to the differentiable quantum circuit protocol.

  We develop an artificial intelligence framework which combines a neural network trained to mimic simulated data from a model Hamiltonian with automatic differentiation to recover unknown parameters from experimental data. In doing so, we illustrate the ability to build and train a differentiable model only once, which then can be applied in real-time to multi-dimensional scattering data.

• Physics-informed Information Field Theory for Modeling Physical Systems with Uncertainty Quantification [0.0]
  Information field theory (IFT) provides the tools necessary to perform statistics over fields that are not necessarily Gaussian. We extend IFT to physics-informed IFT (PIFT) by encoding the functional priors with information about the physical laws which describe the field. The posteriors derived from this PIFT remain independent of any numerical scheme and can capture multiple modes. We numerically demonstrate that the method correctly identifies when the physics cannot be trusted, in which case it automatically treats learning the field as a regression problem.

  We provide a mathematically detailed Bayesian formulation of the ''shallow'' (linear) version of neural operators. We then extend this analytic treatment to general deep neural operators using approximate methods from Bayesian deep learning. As a result, our approach is able to identify cases, and provide structured uncertainty estimates, where the neural operator fails to predict well.

  Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method. A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations. We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.

  Solving partial differential equations (PDE) is an indispensable part of many branches of science as many processes can be modelled in terms of PDEs.

We examine the applicability of continuous, mesh-free neural solvers for partial differential equations, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) We discuss the accuracy of GatedPINN with respect to analytical solutions -- as well as state-of-the-art numerical solvers, such as spectral solvers.
