IDRLnet is a machine learning library on top of PyTorch. Use IDRLnet if you need a machine learning library that solves both forward and inverse differential equations via physics-informed neural networks (PINN). IDRLnet is a flexible framework inspired by Nvidia Simnet.

Installation

Choose one of the following installation methods.

PyPI

Simple installation from PyPI.

Note: To avoid version conflicts, please use some tools to create a virtual environment first.

Docker

Pull latest docker image from Dockerhub.

docker pull idrl/idrlnet:latest
docker run -it idrl/idrlnet:latest bash

Note: Available tags can be found in Dockerhub.

Anaconda

conda create -n idrlnet_dev python=3.8 -y
conda activate idrlnet_dev
pip install idrlnet

From Source

git clone https://github.com/idrl-lab/idrlnet
cd idrlnet
pip install -e .

Features

IDRLnet supports

• complex domain geometries without mesh generation. Provided geometries include interval, triangle, rectangle, polygon, circle, sphere… Other geometries can be constructed using three boolean operations: union, difference, and intersection;
  

• sampling in the interior of the defined geometry or on the boundary with given conditions.

• enables the user code to be structured. Data sources, operations, constraints are all represented by Node. The graph will be automatically constructed via label symbols of each node. Getting rid of the explicit construction via explicit expressions, users model problems more naturally.

• builds computational graph automatically;

  

• user-defined callbacks;

  

• solving variational minimization problem;
  

• solving integral differential equation;

• adaptive resampling;

• recover unknown parameters of PDEs from noisy measurement data.

It is also easy to customize IDRLnet to meet new demands.
