Identifying ODEs from Unstructured Data with Causal Representation Learning

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.37083v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the problem of recovering the governing ODE of a dynamical system from unstructured, high-dimensional observations such as images. Existing methods for ODE discovery typically assume direct measurements of the variables, or do not provide theoretical guarantees on the learned variables and equations. While Causal Representation Learning (CRL) methods provide guarantees on identifying variables from high-dimensional observations up to component-wise diffeomorphisms, we show that in general these variables cannot be used directly as input to equation discovery methods, which typically assume that the variables will lead to sparse equations. So we introduce SParse Equivalent Equation Discovery AutoEncoder (SPEED-AE), a framework that
