Iterative Refinement Neural Operators are Learned Fixed-Point Solvers: A Principled Approach to Spectral Bias Mitigation

ICML 2026spotlight

Neural operators serve as fast, data-driven surrogates for scientific modeling but typically rely on a monolithic, single-pass inference procedure that struggles to resolve high-frequency details, a limitation known as spectral bias. We introduce the Iterative Refinement Neural Operator (IRNO), whic…

Learning, Solving and Optimizing PDEs with TensorGalerkin: an efficient high-performance Galerkin assembly algorithm

ICML 2026poster

We present a unified algorithmic framework for the numerical solution, constrained optimization, and physics-informed learning of PDEs with a variational structure. Our framework is based on a Galerkin discretization of the underlying variational forms, and its high efficiency stems from a novel hig…

Unveiling Multi-regime Patterns in SciML: Distinct Failure Modes and Regime-specific Optimization

ICML 2026poster

Neural networks (NNs) trained under different hyperparameters can fall into distinct training ``regimes'', with models in the same regime showing homogeneous properties and models across regimes differing qualitatively. In this paper, we analyze multi-regime patterns in scientific machine learning (…

Generative Modeling of Regular and Irregular Time Series Data via Koopman VAEs

ICLR 2024poster

Generating realistic time series data is important for many engineering and scientific applications. Existing work tackles this problem using generative adversarial networks (GANs). However, GANs are unstable during training, and they can suffer from mode collapse. While variational autoencoders (…
