Learning effective dynamics from data-driven stochastic systems

Abstract

Multiscale stochastic dynamical systems have been widely adopted to a variety of scientific and engineering problems due to their capability of depicting complex phenomena in many real-world applications. This work is devoted to investigating the effective dynamics for slow–fast stochastic dynamical systems. Given observation data on a short-term period satisfying some unknown slow–fast stochastic systems, we propose a novel algorithm, including a neural network called Auto-SDE, to learn an invariant slow manifold. Our approach captures the evolutionary nature of a series of time-dependent autoencoder neural networks with the loss constructed from a discretized stochastic differential equation. Our algorithm is also validated to be accurate, stable, and effective through numerical experiments under various evaluation metrics.
