Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) face significant challenges in modeling multi-frequency wavefields in complex velocity models due to their slow convergence, difficulty in representing high-frequency details, and lack of generalization to varying frequencies and velocity scenarios. To address these issues, we propose Meta-LRPINN, a novel framework that combines low-rank parameterization using singular value decomposition (SVD) with meta-learning and frequency embedding. Specifically, we decompose the weights of PINN's hidden layers using SVD and introduce an innovative frequency embedding hypernetwork (FEH) that links input frequencies with the singular values, enabling efficient and frequency-adaptive wavefield representation. Meta-learning is employed to provide robust initialization, improving optimization stability and reducing training time. Additionally, we implement adaptive rank reduction and FEH pruning during the meta-testing phase to further enhance efficiency. Numerical experiments, which are presented on multi-frequency scattered wavefields for different velocity models, demonstrate that Meta-LRPINN achieves much fast convergence speed and much high accuracy compared to baseline methods such as Meta-PINN and vanilla PINN. Also, the proposed framework shows strong generalization to out-of-distribution frequencies while maintaining computational efficiency. These results highlight the potential of our Meta-LRPINN for scalable and adaptable seismic wavefield modeling.

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) offer a powerful framework for seismic wavefield modeling, yet they typically require time-consuming retraining when applied to different velocity models. Moreover, their training can suffer from slow convergence due to the complexity of of the wavefield solution. To address these challenges, we introduce a latent diffusion-based strategy for rapid and effective PINN initialization. First, we train multiple PINNs to represent frequency-domain scattered wavefields for various velocity models, then flatten each trained network's parameters into a one-dimensional vector, creating a comprehensive parameter dataset. Next, we employ an autoencoder to learn latent representations of these parameter vectors, capturing essential patterns across diverse PINN's parameters. We then train a conditional diffusion model to store the distribution of these latent vectors, with the corresponding velocity models serving as conditions. Once trained, this diffusion model can generate latent vectors corresponding to new velocity models, which are subsequently decoded by the autoencoder into complete PINN parameters. Experimental results indicate that our method significantly accelerates training and maintains high accuracy across in-distribution and out-of-distribution velocity scenarios.
