• Abstract summary: Integrating differentiable physics simulators into the training process can greatly improve the quality of results. The gradient-based solvers have a profound effect on the gradient flow as manipulating scales in magnitude and direction is an inherent property of many physical processes. In this work, we analyze the characteristics of both physical and neural network optimizations to derive a new method that does not suffer from this phenomenon.

• Abstract: Recent works in deep learning have shown that integrating differentiable physics simulators into the training process can greatly improve the quality of results. Although this combination represents a more complex optimization task than supervised neural network training, the same gradient-based optimizers are typically employed to minimize the loss function. However, the integrated physics solvers have a profound effect on the gradient flow as manipulating scales in magnitude and direction is an inherent property of many physical processes. Consequently, the gradient flow is often highly unbalanced and creates an environment in which existing gradient-based optimizers perform poorly. In this work, we analyze the characteristics of both physical and neural network optimizations to derive a new method that does not suffer from this phenomenon. Our method is based on a half-inversion of the Jacobian and combines principles of both classical network and physics optimizers to solve the combined optimization task. Compared to state-of-the-art neural network optimizers, our method converges more quickly and yields better solutions, which we demonstrate on three complex learning problems involving nonlinear oscillators, the Schroedinger equation and the Poisson problem.

  deep equilibrium model is a class of models that foregoes traditional network depth and instead computes the output of a network by finding the fixed point of a single nonlinear layer. We show that there is a natural synergy between these two settings. We demonstrate this strategy on various tasks such as training generative models while optimizing over latent codes, training models for inverse problems like denoising and inpainting, adversarial training and gradient based meta-learning.
