Bi-FORK: Generative Modeling of High-Dimensional Bifurcating Systems

Bifurcations are ubiquitous in physical systems, from structural buckling to fluid and climate dynamics, yet they remain largely unexplored in deep learning.

Key points

  • We introduce Bi-FORK, a generative framework for learning these one-to-many solution maps in high-dimensional systems.
  • Bi-FORK generates complete trajectories through latent flow matching, preserving space and time coherence, and uses repulsion-guided sampling to recover distinct solution branches in a single amortized pass.
  • We evaluate Bi-FORK on buckling beams, mechanical metamaterials, and Allen-Cahn phase separation, spanning continuous, discrete, and field-valued bifurcations with discretizations up to 260,000 points.
  • Bi-FORK recovers the multimodal solution structure while scaling several orders of magnitude beyond prior approaches, opening generative modeling to high-dimensional bifurcating physical systems.
