Physically Consistent Neural Networks

This repository contains a clean and efficient version of Physically Consistent Neural Networks (PCNNs), where a physics-inspired module runs in parallel of a black-box one (neural networks) to capture physical effects.

Installation

Using pip

With a python version above 3.10, you can install it directly through PyPI with pip install pcnns.

Local installation

After cloning the repository on your computer, go to the pcnn folder with cd path_to_the_folder/pcnn.

The fastest way to run the code is to use poetry, which can be installed from here.
You can then run poetry install to install all the required dependencies.
Once the dependencies are installed, you can for example run jupyter-lab with poetry run jupiter lab or VS code with poetry run code ..

Alternatively, you can install requirements from requirements.txt.
