New initialization strategy tackles spectral bias in physics-informed neural networks

Researchers have developed a new initialization strategy for Fourier Feature Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to address spectral bias, a common issue where certain frequencies of a target function converge slower during training. By analyzing training dynamics in the Neural Tangent Kernel regime, they derived an equation showing that initialization weights significantly impact frequency convergence rates. The proposed method tailors the initial weight distribution to the specific partial differential equation (PDE) being solved, balancing convergence across frequencies and improving prediction accuracy without increasing training costs. AI

IMPACT Improves training efficiency and accuracy for PINNs, potentially enabling more complex scientific simulations.

    Operator-informed initialization for Fourier features physics-informed neural networks

    arXiv:2610.03378v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) typically exhibit spectral bias, where some frequencies of the target function converge more slowly than others. In this work, we analyze the training dynamics of Fourier Feature PINNs in the…
