The proposed Multi-fidelity Residual Neural Processes (MFRNP) framework aims to improve multi-fidelity surrogate modeling by explicitly modeling the residual between aggregated lower fidelity data and ground truth at the highest fidelity. This approach optimizes lower fidelity decoders to capture both in-fidelity and cross-fidelity information, allowing for better inference performance, especially in out-of-distribution scenarios. MFRNP is shown to significantly outperform state-of-the-art methods in learning partial differential equations and a real-world climate modeling task.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
Multi-fidelity surrogate modeling tries to create an accurate copy of the highest level data by combining lower-level information. Current methods struggle when dealing with big datasets. Some solutions use neural networks, but these approaches have limitations when it comes to making predictions in situations where there’s limited information from the highest level. To solve this problem, a new approach called Multi-fidelity Residual Neural Processes (MFRNP) was developed. MFRNP looks at the difference between what we know from lower levels and the actual data from the highest level, allowing for better prediction performance.
