SPLICE: Sparse Physics Library Identification and Compositional Expansion

Neural operator splitting composes a library of neural operators, one per physical mechanism, into zero-shot simulators of new equations.

Key points

  • We ask whether a pretrained library can instead be adapted and grown from unlabeled trajectories in which multiple mechanisms act simultaneously.
  • We introduce SPLICE, a framework that discovers operators without mechanism labels on mixture data.
  • The contributions of the candidate operators to each trajectory are inferred by solving a convex optimization problem.
  • On Navier-Stokes, the discovered operators compose about as accurately as their supervised counterparts.
