• Abstract: Effectively modeling phenomena present in highly nonlinear dynamical systems whilst also accurately quantifying uncertainty is a challenging task, which often requires problem-specific techniques. We present a novel, domain-agnostic approach to tackling this problem, using compositions of physics-informed random features, derived from ordinary differential equations. The architecture of our model leverages recent advances in approximate inference for deep Gaussian processes, such as layer-wise weight-space approximations which allow us to incorporate random Fourier features, and stochastic variational inference for approximate Bayesian inference. We provide evidence that our model is capable of capturing highly nonlinear behaviour in real-world multivariate time series data. In addition, we find that our approach achieves comparable performance to a number of other probabilistic models on benchmark regression tasks.

  This work proposes a novel method for estimating both drift and diffusion coefficients of continuous, multidimensional, nonlinear controlled differential equations with non-uniform diffusion. We provide strong theoretical guarantees, including finite-sample bounds for (L2), (Linfty), and risk metrics, with learning rates adaptive to coefficients' regularity. Our method is available as an open-source Python library.

  We introduce a novel method, DiffHybrid-UQ, for effective and efficient uncertainty propagation and estimation in hybrid neural differentiable models. Specifically, our approach effectively discerns and quantifies both aleatoric uncertainties, arising from data noise, and epistemic uncertainties, resulting from model-form discrepancies and data sparsity.

  The deep latent force model (DLFM) is a deep Gaussian process with physics-informed kernels at each layer. We present empirical evidence of the capability of the DLFM to capture the dynamics present in highly nonlinear real-world time series data. We find that the DLFM is capable of achieving comparable performance to a range of non-physics-informed probabilistic models.
