The paper addresses the challenge of insufficient high-quality data in modeling complex systems. Koopman Autoencoders (KAEs) combine deep neural networks, autoencoders, and spectral properties to learn a reduced-order feature space with linear dynamics. However, KAEs are limited by noisy training datasets, affecting their generalizability. To overcome this, the Temporally-Consistent Koopman Autoencoder (tcKAE) is introduced, which generates accurate long-term predictions using a consistency regularization term that ensures prediction coherence across time steps. This approach improves the robustness and generalizability of tcKAE over existing KAE models. The paper provides analytical justification based on Koopman spectral theory and empirical demonstrations of superior performance in various test cases, including simple pendulum oscillations, kinetic plasma, and fluid flow data.

The paper solves a big problem in modeling complex systems. When we have limited and noisy training data, our models don’t work well. The authors invent a new way to make the model better by using something called consistency regularization. This helps the model make accurate predictions even when it doesn’t have enough good information. They test their method on different types of data and show that it works better than other methods.
