Code for the paper Learning Where to Learn: Training Data Distribution Optimization for Scientific Machine Learning

This repository contains code to reproduce experiments from the paper. It includes:

• Bilevel kernel-based function approximation experiments
• Burgers equation experiments with active learning comparisons
• Dirichlet-to-Neumann (NtD) and Darcy flow examples
• Radiative transport equation (RTE) experiments

All folders are organized independently, but share a unified objective of exploring optimal training distributions for out-of-distribution (OOD) accuracy.

Installation

For Bilevel Experiments

conda env create -f function_approximation/Project.yml
conda activate bilevel

For Operator Learning Experiments

Each subfolder has its own requirements.txt:

# For Burgers experiments
pip install -r operator_learning/burgers/requirements.txt

# For NtD/Darcy Flow experiments
pip install -r operator_learning/ntd_darcyflow/requirements.txt

# For RTE experiments
pip install -r operator_learning/rte/requirements.txt

Note: All environments assume GPU support if available.

Usage

Bilevel Function Approximation

1. Run experiments:

   cd function_approximation
   python -u driver.py

   python plot_compare.py

---

Burgers Equation Experiments

1. Run all experiments:

   cd operator_learning/burgers
   bash run_all.sh

Or run individual scripts:

   python AMA_script.py      # AMA optimization
   python QBC_script.py      # Query-by-Committee active learning

2. Plot results:

   jupyter notebook PlotResults.ipynb

---

NtD and Darcy Flow Experiments

1. Run NtD example:

   cd operator_learning/ntd_darcyflow
   python NtDExample.py

2. Run Darcy flow example:

   python DarcyFlowGPU.py

3. Plot results:

   jupyter notebook PlotResults.ipynb

---

Radiative Transport Equation (RTE) Experiments

1. Run all experiments:

   cd operator_learning/rte
   bash run_all.sh

Or run the main script:

   python particle_script.py

2. Plot results:

   jupyter notebook PlotResults.ipynb

Notes & Recommendations

• Hyperparameters (e.g., sample sizes, training iterations) can be modified within each script.
• Ensure all required dependencies are installed before executing code.
• For plotting, a LaTeX distribution may be required.
• The Github for the AMINO architecture used in Figure 1 of our paper can be found here.
