From Cheap Geometry to Expensive Physics: Elevating Neural Operators via Latent Shape Pretraining

ICLR 2026poster

Industrial design evaluation often relies on high-fidelity simulations of governing partial differential equations (PDEs). While accurate, these simulations are computationally expensive, making dense exploration of design spaces impractical. Operator learning has emerged as a promising approach to…

G-RANS: Generalizable Residual-Aware Neural Solvers for Sparse Systems

ICML 2026poster

Neural operators have shown promise in accelerating PDE solvers, yet they remain unreliable for the sparse linear systems induced by discretization due to limited generalization across physical parameters and insufficient accuracy, and hybrid neural iterative schemes face stagnation as the residual …

Helix: Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning for Open-Ended Scientific Problem Solving

ICLR 2026poster

Large language models (LLMs) with reasoning abilities have demonstrated growing promise for tackling complex scientific problems. Yet such tasks are inherently domain-specific, unbounded and open-ended, demanding exploration across vast and flexible solution spaces. Existing approaches, whether pure…

Accelerating PDE-Constrained Optimization by the Derivative of Neural Operators

ICML 2025poster

PDE-Constrained Optimization (PDECO) problems can be accelerated significantly by employing gradient-based methods with surrogate models like neural operators compared to traditional numerical solvers. However, this approach faces two key challenges: (1) **Data inefficiency**: Lack of efficient dat…
