Learning dynamical systems with biochemically informed neural ordinary differential equations

arXiv:2605.24170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ordinary differential equation models of biochemical reactions are often formulated as stoichiometric systems in which the dynamics arise from a collection of interacting processes. A central challenge is that the functional form of each process is rarely known a priori and may be difficult to infer from data. We propose biochemically informed neural ordinary differential equations (BINODEs), a neural-ODE framework that retains the stoichiometric structure of mechanistic models while representing individual processes by neural networks. In BINO
The convergence of advanced AI techniques (neural ODEs) and the computational modeling needs in biological sciences is enabling new approaches to understand complex systems.
This development allows for more accurate and data-driven modeling of biochemical reactions, potentially accelerating drug discovery, bioengineering, and fundamental biological research.
The ability to infer complex biochemical processes directly from data without a priori knowledge of functional forms fundamentally changes how these systems can be modeled and understood.
