Developing Distance-Aware Physics-Constrained Probabilistic Frameworks for Industrial Prognostics

arXiv:2512.08499v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Development of reliable and physically interpretable probabilistic frameworks for industrial prognostics remain nascent, and existing literature is often insensitive as inputs move away from the training manifold. In this paper, we develop two sampling-free, distance-aware physics-constrained probabilistic frameworks: (i) PC-SNGP and (ii) PC-SNER. Both apply spectral normalization to hidden layer weights, enforcing bi-Lipschitz distance-preserving representation from the input to the latent space. PC-SNGP replaces the dense output with Gaussi

Why this matters
Why now

The accelerating complexity and criticality of industrial systems necessitate more robust and interpretable AI for prognostics, moving beyond basic correlative models.

Why it’s important

Reliable, physics-constrained AI frameworks enhance the safety, efficiency, and predictability of industrial operations by providing distance-aware uncertainty quantification.

What changes

The ability to develop more trustworthy and physically consistent AI for industrial asset management and failure prediction through interpretable probabilistic models.
