DeepXDE is a library for scientific machine learning and physics-informed learning. DeepXDE includes the following algorithms:

DeepXDE supports five tensor libraries as backends: TensorFlow 1.x (tensorflow.compat.v1 in TensorFlow 2.x), TensorFlow 2.x, PyTorch, JAX, and PaddlePaddle. For how to select one, see Working with different backends.

Features

DeepXDE has implemented many algorithms as shown above and supports many features:

  • enables the user code to be compact, resembling closely the mathematical formulation.
  • complex domain geometries without tyranny mesh generation. The primitive geometries are interval, triangle, rectangle, polygon, disk, ellipse, star-shaped, cuboid, sphere, hypercube, and hypersphere. Other geometries can be constructed as constructive solid geometry (CSG) using three boolean operations: union, difference, and intersection. DeepXDE also supports a geometry represented by a point cloud.
  • 5 types of boundary conditions (BCs): Dirichlet, Neumann, Robin, periodic, and a general BC, which can be defined on an arbitrary domain or on a point set; and approximate distance functions for hard constraints.
  • different neural networks: fully connected neural network (FNN), stacked FNN, residual neural network, (spatio-temporal) multi-scale Fourier feature networks, etc.
  • many sampling methods: uniform, pseudorandom, Latin hypercube sampling, Halton sequence, Hammersley sequence, and Sobol sequence. The training points can keep the same during training or be resampled (adaptively) every certain iterations.
  • 4 function spaces: power series, Chebyshev polynomial, Gaussian random field (1D/2D).
  • data-parallel training on multiple GPUs.
  • different optimizers: Adam, L-BFGS, etc.
  • conveniently save the model during training, and load a trained model.
  • callbacks to monitor the internal states and statistics of the model during training: early stopping, etc.
  • uncertainty quantification using dropout.
  • float16, float32, and float64.
  • many other useful features: different (weighted) losses, learning rate schedules, metrics, etc.

All the components of DeepXDE are loosely coupled, and thus DeepXDE is well-structured and highly configurable. It is easy to customize DeepXDE to meet new demands.

Installation

DeepXDE requires one of the following backend-specific dependencies to be installed:

Then, you can install DeepXDE itself.

  • Install the stable version with pip:
$ pip install deepxde
  • Install the stable version with conda:
$ conda install -c conda-forge deepxde
  • For developers, you should clone the folder to your local machine and put it along with your project scripts.
$ git clone https://github.com/lululxvi/deepxde.git

The Team

DeepXDE was developed by Lu Lu under the supervision of Prof. George Karniadakis at Brown University from the summer of 2018 to 2020, supported by PhILMs. DeepXDE was originally self-hosted in Subversion at Brown University, under the name SciCoNet (Scientific Computing Neural Networks). On Feb 7, 2019, SciCoNet was moved from Subversion to GitHub, renamed to DeepXDE.

DeepXDE is currently maintained by Lu Lu at Yale University with major contributions coming from many talented individuals in various forms and means. A non-exhaustive but growing list needs to mention: Paul Escapil-Inchauspé, Jialin Li, Saransh Chopra, Zongren Zou, Sensen He, Zhongyi Jiang, Anran Jiao, Shunyuan Mao.
