Abstract
A combined autoencoder (AE) and neural ordinary differential equation (NODE) framework has been used as a data-driven reduced-order model for time integration of a stiff reacting system. In this study, a new loss term using a latent variable gradient is proposed, and its impact on model performance is analysed in terms of robustness, accuracy, and computational efficiency. A data set was generated by a chemical reacting solver, Cantera, for the ignition of homogeneous hydrogen-air and ammonia/hydrogen-air mixtures in homogeneous constant pressure reactors over a range of initial temperatures and equivalence ratios. The AE-NODE network was trained with the data set using two different loss functions based on the latent variable mapping and the latent gradient. The results show that the model trained using the latent gradient loss significantly improves the predictions at conditions outside the range of the trained data. The study demonstrates the importance of incorporating time derivatives in the loss function. Upon proper design of the latent space and training method, the AE+NODE architecture is found to predict the reaction dynamics at high fidelity at substantially reduced computational cost by the reduction of the dimensionality and temporal stiffness.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
