Our Paper on deep learning algorithms interacting with differentiable PDE solvers was just successfully presented at NeurIPS. And just in time for the conference, we also finished uploading the last piece of the corresponding source code release.
An extended version of our CG Solver-in-the-Loop results from our NeurIPS’20 paper is finally online at: https://github.com/tum-pbs/CG-Solver-in-the-Loop
The main code for the paper is also available at: https://github.com/tum-pbs/Solver-in-the-Loop
This is the full abstract of the paper: Finding accurate solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs) is a crucial task in all scientific and engineering disciplines. It has recently been shown that machine learning methods can improve the solution accuracy by correcting for effects not captured by the discretized PDE. We target the problem of reducing numerical errors of iterative PDE solvers and compare different learning approaches for finding complex correction functions. We find that previously used learning approaches are significantly outperformed by methods that integrate the solver into the training loop and thereby allow the model to interact with the PDE during training. This provides the model with realistic input distributions that take previous corrections into account, yielding improvements in accuracy with stable rollouts of several hundred recurrent evaluation steps and surpassing even tailored supervised variants. We highlight the performance of the differentiable physics networks for a wide variety of PDEs, from non-linear advection-diffusion systems to three-dimensional Navier-Stokes flows.
