Two-Parameter Flows for Learning Population Dynamics of Physical Systems

arXiv:2605.26285v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work addresses the problem of learning the dynamics of high-dimensional probability densities over time using unlabeled samples, without assuming access to trajectory information. We introduce two-parameter flows that learn only sampling-time transports from a base distribution to each marginal and then extract a physics-time velocity by regressing on coupled synthetic trajectories. We prove that the resulting physics-time dynamics are unique and inherit regularity from the sampling-time transports. Because we can build on standard, well-dev

Why this matters
Why now

The recent advancements in machine learning, particularly in generative models and physical simulations, are enabling a new approach to understanding and predicting complex systems with unlabeled data.

Why it’s important

This research introduces a novel method for learning the dynamics of complex physical systems from raw, unlabeled data, significantly reducing the reliance on meticulously curated datasets or explicit trajectory information.

What changes

The ability to infer underlying physical dynamics from high-dimensional probability densities without direct trajectory data opens new avenues for AI application in scientific discovery, complex system modeling, and potentially even control.
