• Abstract: In this work, we propose an adaptive learning approach based on temporal normalizing flows for solving time-dependent Fokker-Planck (TFP) equations. It is well known that solutions of such equations are probability density functions, and thus our approach relies on modelling the target solutions with the temporal normalizing flows. The temporal normalizing flow is then trained based on the TFP loss function, without requiring any labeled data. Being a machine learning scheme, the proposed approach is mesh-free and can be easily applied to high dimensional problems. We present a variety of test problems to show the effectiveness of the learning approach.

  Permutation flow shop scheduling (PFSS) is widely used in manufacturing systems. We propose to train the model via expert-driven imitation learning, which accelerates convergence more stably and accurately. Our model's network parameters are reduced to only 37% of theirs, and the solution gap of our model towards the expert solutions decreases from 6.8% to 1.3% on average.

  We introduce an alternative scheme based on integrating an ordinary differential equation that describes the flow of probability.

Our approach is based on recent advances in score-based diffusion for generative modeling.
