Add to EdgeDeepGraphONet: A Deep Graph Operator Network to Learn and Zero-shot Transfer the Dynamic Response of Networked Systems
Sep 21, 2022
This paper develops a Deep Graph Operator Network (DeepGraphONet) framework that learns to approximate the dynamics of a complex system (e.g. the power grid or traffic) with an underlying sub-graph structure. We build our DeepGraphONet by fusing the ability of (i) Graph Neural Networks (GNN) to exploit spatially correlated graph information and (ii) Deep Operator Networks~(DeepONet) to approximate the solution operator of dynamical systems. The resulting DeepGraphONet can then predict the dynamics within a given short/medium-term time horizon by observing a finite history of the graph state information. Furthermore, we design our DeepGraphONet to be resolution-independent. That is, we do not require the finite history to be collected at the exact/same resolution. In addition, to disseminate the results from a trained DeepGraphONet, we design a zero-shot learning strategy that enables using it on a different sub-graph. Finally, empirical results on the (i) transient stability prediction problem of power grids and (ii) traffic flow forecasting problem of a vehicular system illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed DeepGraphONet.
