• Abstract: Time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs) for classic physical systems are established based on the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy, which are ubiquitous in scientific and engineering applications. These PDEs are strictly local-dependent according to the principle of locality in physics, which means that the evolution at a point is only influenced by the neighborhood around it whose size is determined by the length of timestep multiplied with the speed of characteristic information traveling in the system. However, deep learning architecture cannot strictly enforce the local-dependency as it inevitably increases the scope of information to make local predictions as the number of layers increases. Under limited training data, the extra irrelevant information results in sluggish convergence and compromised generalizability. This paper aims to solve this problem by proposing a data decomposition method to strictly limit the scope of information for neural operators making local predictions, which is called data decomposition enforcing local-dependency (DDELD). The numerical experiments over multiple physical phenomena show that DDELD significantly accelerates training convergence and reduces test errors of benchmark models on large-scale engineering simulations.

• Paving the way for scientific foundation models: enhancing generalization and robustness in PDEs with constraint-aware pre-training [49.8035317670223]
  A scientific foundation model (SciFM) is emerging as a promising tool for learning transferable representations across diverse domains. We propose incorporating PDE residuals into pre-training either as the sole learning signal or in combination with data loss to compensate for limited or infeasible training data. Our results show that pre-training with PDE constraints significantly enhances generalization, outperforming models trained solely on solution data.
