Adjoint method vs. PINNs: Performance compared for PDE inverse problems

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A new paper compares adjoint optimization and physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) for solving inverse problems governed by partial differential equations. The research highlights that the choice of method depends on how the unknown is represented, with grid-based fields favoring adjoint methods and neural representations suiting PINNs. For time-dependent problems, PINNs offer satisfactory reconstructions at a lower cost, and a PINN-warm-started adjoint strategy can achieve adjoint-level accuracy more efficiently. AI
