There is a wave of interest in using unsupervised neural networks for solving differential equations. The existing methods are based on feed-forward networks, {while} recurrent neural network differential equation solvers have not yet been reported. We introduce an unsupervised reservoir computing (RC), an echo-state recurrent neural network capable of discovering approximate solutions that satisfy ordinary differential equations (ODEs). We suggest an approach to calculate time derivatives of recurrent neural network outputs without using backpropagation. The internal weights of an RC are fixed, while only a linear output layer is trained, yielding efficient training. However, RC performance strongly depends on finding the optimal hyper-parameters, which is a computationally expensive process. We use Bayesian optimization to efficiently discover optimal sets in a high-dimensional hyper-parameter space and numerically show that one set is robust and can be used to solve an ODE for different initial conditions and time ranges. A closed-form formula for the optimal output weights is derived to solve first order linear equations in a backpropagation-free learning process. We extend the RC approach by solving nonlinear system of ODEs using a hybrid optimization method consisting of gradient descent and Bayesian optimization. Evaluation of linear and nonlinear systems of equations demonstrates the efficiency of the RC ODE solver.

We describe a neural-based method for generating exact or approximate solutions to differential equations in the form of mathematical expressions. Unlike other neural methods, our system returns symbolic expressions that can be interpreted directly. Our method uses a neural architecture for learning mathematical expressions to optimize a customizable objective, and is scalable, compact, and easily adaptable for a variety of tasks and configurations. The system has been shown to effectively find exact or approximate symbolic solutions to various differential equations with applications in natural sciences. In this work, we highlight how our method applies to partial differential equations over multiple variables and more complex boundary and initial value conditions.
We introduce a new family of deep neural network models. Instead of specifying a discrete sequence of hidden layers, we parameterize the derivative of the hidden state using a neural network. The output of the network is computed using a black-box di fferential equation solver. These continuous-depth models have constant memory cost, adapt their evaluation strategy to each input, and can explicitly trade numerical precision for speed. We demonstrate these properties in continuous-depth residual networks and continuous-time latent variable models. We also construct continuous normalizing flows, a generative model that can train by maximum likelihood, without partitioning or ordering the data dimensions. For training, we show how to scalably backpropagate through any ODE solver, without access to its internal operations. This allows end-to-end training of ODEs within larger models.
Machine learning approaches have recently been leveraged as a substitute or an aid for physical/mathematical modeling approaches to dynamical systems. To develop an efficient machine learning method dedicated to modeling and prediction of multiscale dynamics, we propose a reservoir computing model with diverse timescales by using a recurrent network of heterogeneous leaky integrator neurons. In prediction tasks with fast-slow chaotic dynamical systems including a large gap in timescales of their subsystems dynamics, we demonstrate that the proposed model has a higher potential than the existing standard model and yields a performance comparable to the best one of the standard model even without an optimization of the leak rate parameter. Our analysis reveals that the timescales required for producing each component of target dynamics are appropriately and flexibly selected from the reservoir dynamics by model training.
Applications that exploit the architectural details of high-performance computing (HPC) systems have become increasingly invaluable in academia and industry over the past two decades. The most important hardware development of the last decade in HPC has been the General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU), a class of massively parallel devices that now contributes the majority of computational power in the top 500 supercomputers. As these systems grow, small costs such as latency---due to the fixed cost of memory accesses and communication---accumulate in a large simulation and become a significant barrier to performance. The swept time-space decomposition rule is a communication-avoiding technique for time-stepping stencil update formulas that attempts to reduce latency costs. This work extends the swept rule by targeting heterogeneous, CPU/GPU architectures representing current and future HPC systems. We compare our approach to a naive decomposition scheme with two test equations using an MPI+CUDA pattern on 40 processes over two nodes containing one GPU. The swept rule produces a factor of 1.9 to 23 speedup for the heat equation and a factor of 1.1 to 2.0 speedup for the Euler equations, using the same processors and work distribution, and with the best possible configurations. These results show the potential effectiveness of the swept rule for different equations and numerical schemes on massively parallel computing systems that incur substantial latency costs.
The instability of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) training has frequently been attributed to gradient descent. Consequently, recent methods have aimed to tailor the models and training procedures to stabilise the discrete updates. In contrast, we study the continuous-time dynamics induced by GAN training. Both theory and toy experiments suggest that these dynamics are in fact surprisingly stable. From this perspective, we hypothesise that instabilities in training GANs arise from the integration error in discretising the continuous dynamics. We experimentally verify that well-known ODE solvers (such as Runge-Kutta) can stabilise training - when combined with a regulariser that controls the integration error. Our approach represents a radical departure from previous methods which typically use adaptive optimisation and stabilisation techniques that constrain the functional space (e.g. Spectral Normalisation). Evaluation on CIFAR-10 and ImageNet shows that our method outperforms several strong baselines, demonstrating its efficacy.
