Abstract: Learning the underlying dynamics from data with deep neural networks has shown remarkable potential in modeling various complex physical dynamics. However, current approaches are constrained in their ability to make reliable predictions in a specific domain and struggle with generalizing to unseen systems that are governed by the same general dynamics but differ in environmental characteristics. In this work, we formulate a parameter-efficient method, FNSDA, that can readily generalize to new dynamics via adaptation in Fourier space. Specifically, FNSDA identifies the shareable dynamics based on the known environments using an automatic partition in Fourier modes and learns to adjust the modes specific for each new environment by conditioning on low-dimensional latent systematic parameters for efficient generalization. We experimentally evaluate FNSDA on representative families of nonlinear dynamics. The results show that FNSDA can achieve superior or competitive generalization performance compared to existing methods with a significantly reduced parameter cost.
