This paper presents a PINN training framework that employs (1) pre-training steps that accelerates and improve the robustness of the training of physics-informed neural network with auxiliary data stored in point clouds, (2) a net-to-net knowledge transfer algorithm that improves the weight initialization of the neural network and (3) a multi-objective optimization algorithm that may improve the performance of a physical-informed neural network with competing constraints.
