研究愿景

建立“从连续流形到离散符号的机器认知涌现”理论,使机器能够从高维动力学数据中自主发现有效坐标、层级结构、可达状态流形与全局解析理论,并在理论失效处提示新物理。

理论上,研究动力学充分坐标、物理规范、表达式等价类、流形解析化和失效边界的定义与判据;方法上,形成包含流形扫描、降维解耦、语义对齐、表达式空间隐变量发现、层级符号回归、门控神经表示、完整分布重构和主动采样的自主发现平台。

验证体系覆盖 OR/PMC、相场粗化或聚集系统、开放反应—输运系统三个递进层级,目标是在新体系中发现此前未显式给出的慢坐标、机制转换或有效方程,并由独立模拟或实验数据验证。

主要研究内容

1. 多维拓扑特征提取与动态谱分析表征

构建几何深度学习与谱分析混合框架,利用原子图神经网络、线图与 KAN 精细编码纳米粒子组分、载体界面及配位环境;结合 PINN、小波分析和傅立叶变换,解耦 OR 与 PMC 非稳态动力学的瞬时标度律,并识别强/弱涌现特征。

2. 符号公式发现与微分流形统一构建

融合确定性独立筛选、并行蒙特卡洛树搜索与大语言模型反事实推理,建立高通量符号回归体系;通过微分流形、层论和切空间联络,发现统一经典与反常尺寸依赖关系的全局解析解。

3. 方程核驱动的物理约束与渐近求解

以控制方程及理论渐近解作为神经模型的核函数、损失约束或边界条件,保证热力学一致性与守恒律;发展快照子空间正交基贪心算法和渐近保持技术,实现积分—微分方程的高效降维求解。

4. 基于流匹配的生成式模拟与逆向设计

学习粒子尺寸分布函数的时间演化概率流,实现动力学曲线生成、机制归属判别和关键参数反演;进一步以公式树、能量学数据及稳定性判据为条件,开展分子结构与制造工艺的逆向设计。
