OperatorLearning.jl
A Package that provides Layers for the learning of (nonlinear) operators in order to solve parametric PDEs.
For now, this package contains the Fourier Neural Operator originally proposed by Li et al [1] as well as the DeepONet conceived by Lu et al [2].
I decided to implement this method in Julia because coding up a layer using PyTorch in Python is rather cumbersome in comparison and Julia as a whole simply runs at comparable or faster speed than Python.
The implementation of the layers is influenced heavily by the basic layers provided in the Flux.jl package.
Installation
Simply install by running in a REPL:
pkg> add OperatorLearningUsage/Examples
Fourier Layer
The basic workflow is more or less in line with the layer architectures that Flux provides, i.e. you construct individual layers, chain them if desired and pass the inputs as arguments to the layers.
The Fourier Layer performs a linear transform as well as convolution (linear transform in fourier space), adds them and passes it through the activation. Additionally, higher Fourier modes are filtered out in the convolution path where you can specify the amount of modes to be kept.
The syntax for a single Fourier Layer is:
using OperatorLearning
using Flux
# Input = 101, Output = 101, Grid points = 100, Fourier modes = 16
# Activation: sigmoid (you need to import Flux in your Script to access the activations)
model = FourierLayer(101, 101, 100, 16, σ)
# Same as above, but perform strict convolution in Fourier Space
model = FourierLayer(101, 101, 100, 16, σ; bias_fourier=false)To see a full implementation, check the Burgers equation example at examples/burgers_FNO.jl.
Compared to the original implementation by Li et al. using PyTorch, this version written in Julia clocks in about 20 - 25% faster when running on a NVIDIA RTX A5000 GPU.
If you'd like to replicate the example, you need to get the dataset for learning the Burgers equation. You can get it here or alternatively use the provided scripts.
DeepONet
The DeepONet function basically sets up two separate Flux Chain structs and transforms the two input arrays into one via einsum/dot product.
You can either set up a "vanilla" DeepONet via the constructor function which sets up Dense layers for you or, if you feel fancy, pass two Chains directly to the function so you can use other architectures such as CNN or RNN as well.
The former takes two tuples that describe each architecture. E.g. (32,64,72) sets up a DNN with 32 neurons in the first, 64 in the second and 72 in the last layer.
using OperatorLearning
using Flux
# Create a DeepONet with branch 32 -> 64 -> 72 and sigmoid activation
# and trunk 24 -> 64 -> 72 and tanh activation without biases
model = DeepONet((32,64,72), (24,64,72), σ, tanh; init_branch=Flux.glorot_normal, bias_trunk=false)
# Alternatively, set up your own nets altogether and pass them to DeepONet
branch = Chain(Dense(2,128),Dense(128,64),Dense(64,72))
trunk = Chain(Dense(1,24),Dense(24,72))
model = DeepONet(branch,trunk)For usage, check the Burgers equation example at examples/burgers_DeepONet.jl.
