Learning a Neural Solver for Parametric PDEs to Enhance Physics-Informed Methods

ICLR 2025poster

Physics-informed deep learning often faces optimization challenges due to the complexity of solving partial differential equations (PDEs), which involve exploring large solution spaces, require numerous iterations, and can lead to unstable training. These challenges arise particularly from the ill-c…

An operator preconditioning perspective on training in physics-informed machine learning

ICLR 2024poster

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of gradient descent algorithms in physics-informed machine learning methods like PINNs, which minimize residuals connected to partial differential equations (PDEs). Our key result is that the difficulty in training these models is closely related to the con…

Beyond Regular Grids: Fourier-Based Neural Operators on Arbitrary Domains

ICML 2024poster

The computational efficiency of many neural operators, widely used for learning solutions of PDEs, relies on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) for performing spectral computations. As the FFT is limited to equispaced (rectangular) grids, this limits the efficiency of such neural operators when applie…

Poseidon: Efficient Foundation Models for PDEs

NeurIPS 2024poster

We introduce Poseidon, a foundation model for learning the solution operators of PDEs. It is based on a multiscale operator transformer, with time-conditioned layer norms that enable continuous-in-time evaluations. A novel training strategy leveraging the semi-group property of time-dependent PDEs t…

Convolutional Neural Operators for robust and accurate learning of PDEs

NeurIPS 2023poster

Although very successfully used in conventional machine learning, convolution based neural network architectures -- believed to be inconsistent in function space -- have been largely ignored in the context of learning solution operators of PDEs. Here, we present novel adaptations for convolutional n…

Module-wise Training of Neural Networks via the Minimizing Movement Scheme

NeurIPS 2023poster

Greedy layer-wise or module-wise training of neural networks is compelling in constrained and on-device settings where memory is limited, as it circumvents a number of problems of end-to-end back-propagation. However, it suffers from a stagnation problem, whereby early layers overfit and deeper laye…

Representation Equivalent Neural Operators: a Framework for Alias-free Operator Learning

NeurIPS 2023poster

Recently, operator learning, or learning mappings between infinite-dimensional function spaces, has garnered significant attention, notably in relation to learning partial differential equations from data. Conceptually clear when outlined on paper, neural operators necessitate discretization in the…

Unifying GANs and Score-Based Diffusion as Generative Particle Models

NeurIPS 2023poster

Particle-based deep generative models, such as gradient flows and score-based diffusion models, have recently gained traction thanks to their striking performance. Their principle of displacing particle distributions using differential equations is conventionally seen as opposed to the previously wi…

Mapping conditional distributions for domain adaptation under generalized target shift

ICLR 2022poster

We consider the problem of unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) between a source and a target domain under conditional and label shift a.k.a Generalized Target Shift (GeTarS). Unlike simpler UDA settings, few works have addressed this challenging problem. Recent approaches learn domain-invariant rep…

Augmenting Physical Models with Deep Networks for Complex Dynamics Forecasting

ICLR 2021oral

Forecasting complex dynamical phenomena in settings where only partial knowledge of their dynamics is available is a prevalent problem across various scientific fields. While purely data-driven approaches are arguably insufficient in this context, standard physical modeling based approaches tend to…

LEADS: Learning Dynamical Systems that Generalize Across Environments

NeurIPS 2021poster

When modeling dynamical systems from real-world data samples, the distribution of data often changes according to the environment in which they are captured, and the dynamics of the system itself vary from one environment to another. Generalizing across environments thus challenges the conventional…

Deep Learning for Physical Processes: Incorporating Prior Scientific Knowledge

ICLR 2018poster

We consider the use of Deep Learning methods for modeling complex phenomena like those occurring in natural physical processes. With the large amount of data gathered on these phenomena the data intensive paradigm could begin to challenge more traditional approaches elaborated over the years in fie…
