What is Proper Latent Decomposition about?

In this paper, we introduce the proper latent decomposition (PLD) as a generalization of the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) on manifolds. PLD is a nonlinear reduced-order modeling technique for compressing high-dimensional data into nonlinear coordinates. First, we compute a reduced set of intrinsic coordinates (latent space) to accurately describe a flow with fewer degrees of freedom than the numerical discretization. The latent space, which is geometrically a manifold, is inferred by an autoencoder. Second, we leverage tools from differential geometry to develop numerical methods for operating directly on the latent space; namely, a metric-constrained Eikonal solver for distance computations. With this proposed numerical framework, we propose an algorithm to perform PLD on the manifold. Third, we demonstrate results for a laminar flow case and the turbulent Kolmogorov flow. For the laminar flow case, we are able to identify a semi-analytical expression for the solution of Navier-Stokes; in the Kolmogorov flow case, we are able to identify a dominant mode that exhibits physical structures, which are compared with POD. This work opens opportunities for analyzing autoencoders
