• Abstract: The main contribution of this paper is to develop a hierarchical Bayesian formulation of PINNs for linear inverse problems, which is called BPINN-IP. The proposed methodology extends PINN to account for prior knowledge on the nature of the expected NN output, as well as its weights. Also, as we can have access to the posterior probability distributions, naturally uncertainties can be quantified. Also, variational inference and Monte Carlo dropout are employed to provide predictive means and variances for reconstructed images. Un example of applications to deconvolution and super-resolution is considered, details of the different steps of implementations are given, and some preliminary results are presented.

  Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have emerged as an effective technique for solving PDEs in a wide range of domains.

We present an adaptive approach termed failure-informed PINNs, which is inspired by the viewpoint of reliability analysis.
