核心概念

The core message of this work is to propose a novel multi-resolution active learning method, called MRA-FNO, that can dynamically select the most valuable input functions and resolutions to train Fourier neural operators (FNOs) efficiently while significantly reducing the data collection cost.

要約

The authors present MRA-FNO, a multi-resolution active learning method for training Fourier neural operators (FNOs). FNOs are a popular operator learning framework that can achieve state-of-the-art performance in many tasks. However, collecting training data for FNOs can be a severe bottleneck in practice, as it often requires expensive physical simulations.

To address this issue, the authors propose to leverage multi-resolution data, which combines accurate but expensive high-resolution examples with inaccurate but cheap-to-generate low-resolution examples. Specifically, they extend the FNO architecture to a probabilistic multi-resolution FNO that can capture the influence of the resolution choice on the predictive distribution. They then develop an active learning algorithm that dynamically selects the most valuable input function and resolution at each step to optimize the learning efficiency while minimizing the data cost.

The key contributions are:

Probabilistic multi-resolution FNO: The authors propose a probabilistic FNO that integrates multi-resolution training data by appending a resolution embedding to the input function samples. This allows the model to capture the influence of the resolution choice on the predictive distribution.
Efficient active learning: The authors develop an active learning algorithm that maximizes a utility-cost ratio to select the most valuable input function and resolution at each step. They address two challenges: (1) the computation of the utility function is analytically intractable, and (2) directly maximizing the utility-cost ratio tends to trap the active learning at low-resolution queries due to the significant cost discrepancy between resolutions. The authors propose moment matching and the matrix determinant lemma to enable efficient utility computation, and a novel cost annealing framework to avoid over-penalizing high-resolution examples.
Experimental results: The authors evaluate MRA-FNO on four benchmark operator learning tasks and show that it consistently achieves much better prediction accuracy with the same accumulated data cost compared to other active learning methods and probabilistic FNO variants.

The authors report the following key statistics:

The relative L2 error and negative log-likelihood (NLL) of MRA-FNO are significantly better than the standard FNO and other probabilistic FNO variants on the Burgers, Darcy, and other benchmark tasks.
Using only low-resolution examples leads to a performance bottleneck, while using only high-resolution examples incurs much higher data cost.
MRA-FNO dynamically selects a mix of low and high-resolution examples, with more high-resolution queries at the early stage and more low-resolution queries later, leading to superior performance.
The choice of the cost annealing schedule (decay rate) in MRA-FNO has a significant impact on the active learning performance. An appropriate decay rate can balance the exploration of high and low-resolution examples.

"To reduce the cost, one can consider leveraging multi-resolution data. The low-resolution data is cheap to obtain — typically computed with rough meshes — but the provided output function samples are quite inaccurate (large bias). On the contrary, high-resolution data offers accurate output function samples, yet is much more costly to generate from dense meshes."
"To optimize the learning efficiency while reducing the data cost as much as possible, we maximize the utility-cost ratio to select the best training input and resolution at each step, where the utility is measured by mutual information."
"Directly maximizing the utility-cost ratio as in previous methods, tends to trap the active learning at low-resolution queries and inferior performance. This is due to that when the data is few (at the early stage), the mutual information measurement for examples at different resolutions is close. High-resolution examples are thereby over-penalized by the large cost."
