• Abstract summary: quadratic residual networks (QRes) are a new type of parameter-efficient neural network architecture. We show that QRes is especially powerful for solving forward and inverse physics problems involving partial differential equations (PDEs) We empirically show that QRes shows faster convergence speed in terms of number of training epochs especially in learning complex patterns.

• Abstract: We propose quadratic residual networks (QRes) as a new type of parameter-efficient neural network architecture, by adding a quadratic residual term to the weighted sum of inputs before applying activation functions. With sufficiently high functional capacity (or expressive power), we show that it is especially powerful for solving forward and inverse physics problems involving partial differential equations (PDEs). Using tools from algebraic geometry, we theoretically demonstrate that, in contrast to plain neural networks, QRes shows better parameter efficiency in terms of network width and depth thanks to higher non-linearity in every neuron. Finally, we empirically show that QRes shows faster convergence speed in terms of number of training epochs especially in learning complex patterns.

  We propose a methodology inspired by Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) GradINNs leverage prior beliefs about a system's gradient to constrain the predicted function's gradient across all input dimensions.

  Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have been widely used to develop neural surrogates for solutions of Partial Differential Equations. A drawback of PINNs is that they have to be retrained with every change in initial-boundary conditions and PDE coefficients. The Hypernetwork, a model-based meta learning technique, takes in a parameterized task embedding as input and predicts the weights of PINN as output.

  Physics-informed neural network (PINN) algorithms have shown promising results in solving a wide range of problems involving partial differential equations (PDEs) They often fail to converge to desirable solutions when the target function contains high-frequency features, due to a phenomenon known as spectral bias.
