Sound Field Interpolation Using Physics-Informed Extreme Learning Machine with Pre-Training

Numerous machine learning-based sound field interpolation methods have been proposed. In particular, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) can accurately interpolate sound fields from a small number of microphones. However, their high computational cost and long training time pose practical challenges for applications requiring real-time processing or online learning. To address this, we propose a hybrid framework that combines PINN-based pre-training with a physics-informed extreme learning machine (PIELM) tailored for acoustic fields. By replacing iterative PINN fine-tuning for each target sound field with closed-form output-layer adaptation using hidden-layer weights pre-trained by PINN, the proposed method efficiently interpolates unknown sound fields from limited observations. Simulation results under simplified one-dimensional free-field conditions demonstrate that, given a pre-trained model, the proposed method achieves interpolation accuracy comparable to that of PINN-based fine-tuning while reducing the adaptation time by more than three orders of magnitude.

Spatial Interpolation of Room Impulse Responses based on Deeper Physics-Informed Neural Networks with Residual Connections

The room impulse response (RIR) characterizes sound propagation in a room from a loudspeaker to a microphone under the linear time-invariant assumption. Estimating RIRs from a limited number of measurement points is crucial for sound propagation analysis and visualization. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have recently been introduced for accurate RIR estimation by embedding governing physical laws into deep learning models; however, the role of network depth has not been systematically investigated. In this study, we developed a deeper PINN architecture with residual connections and analyzed how network depth affects estimation performance. We further compared activation functions, including tanh and sinusoidal activations. Our results indicate that the residual PINN with sinusoidal activations achieves the highest accuracy for both interpolation and extrapolation of RIRs. Moreover, the proposed architecture enables stable training as the depth increases and yields notable improvements in estimating reflection components. These results provide practical guidelines for designing deep and stable PINNs for acoustic-inverse problems.
