This study demonstrates how integrating low-cost analytical models with machine learning significantly improves data efficiency for predicting acoustic frequencies in Helmholtz resonators when high-fidelity simulation budgets are constrained. By treating the analytical solution as a prior, researchers can either learn only the discrepancy between models or distill it into a self-contained predictor, achieving superior accuracy over purely data-driven approaches like direct SVR or MLPs. The work highlights a practical pathway for deploying reliable AI surrogates in physics-informed engineering domains where generating large labeled datasets is prohibitively expensive.
An Analytical-Prior Framework for Data-Efficient Prediction of Sound-Reduction Frequencies in Rectangular Side-Branch Helmholtz Resonators
arXiv:2608.16873v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-fidelity finite-element simulations can provide accurate numerical predictions for side-branch resonators, but large simulation datasets are expensive to generate and purely data-driven surrogates may become unreliable when simulation-labelled data are scarce. This study develops an analytical-prior learning framework that reuses a low-cost analytical model to improve data efficiency under limited high-fidelity simulation budgets. Two complementary routes are considered. When the analytical model remains available at inference, it is retained as an explicit baseline and the simulation data are used to learn only the analytical-to-simulation discrepancy. When a self-contained predictor is required, the analytical mapping is first distilled from abundant low-cost evaluations into a learned prior and then calibrated with the limited simulation data. The framework is evaluated on rectangular side-branch Helmholtz resonators using 86 simulation-labelled geometries and 8,998 non-overlapping analytical-only geometries. The analytical model achieved a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.333 Hz. Direct support vector regression (SVR) achieved 3.375 Hz, while residual SVR reduced the MAE to 0.426 Hz. A direct multilayer perceptron (MLP) achieved 1.109 Hz, whereas analytical-prior pretraining reduced the error to 0.556 Hz with frozen-prior residual adaptation and 0.371 Hz with full-model fine-tuning. Across training budgets of 20 to 70 simulation-labelled cases, both analytical correction and analytical-prior pretraining consistently improved data efficiency relative to direct learning. These results show that analytical prior information can substantially improve high-fidelity prediction when simulation data are scarce, with explicit correction and prior distillation serving complementary deployment needs.
