Optimizers for Diffusion Models: A Controlled Benchmark

The paper introduces the first controlled benchmark for optimizers in discrete diffusion models, evaluating seven optimizers (AdamW, Lion, Muon, SOAP, MARS, MARS‑M, Schedule‑Free) across four diffusion formulations: masked diffusion on text8, uniform diffusion on QM9 and LM1B, and Gaussian diffusion on CelebA‑64. Each optimizer undergoes the same search protocol and is retrained with full budget and multiple seeds, revealing that AdamW, while strong, is not universally optimal and that optimizers validated on autoregressive language models (Muon, MARS‑M, SOAP) can outperform tuned AdamW on certain tasks.

When Attention Beats Fourier: Multi-Scale Transformers for PDE Solving on Irregular Domains

arXiv:2605. 08318v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the problem of \emph{architecture selection} for deep learning models trained to solve partial differential equations (PDEs), asking when transformer-based architectures with learned attention outperform Fourier-domain neural operators.

Transolver-$\sigma$: Joint Spectral-Physical Subspace Modeling for Neural PDE Solving

Transolver‑σ is a neural PDE solver that jointly models spectral and physical subspaces to improve accuracy in both one‑step and autoregressive rollouts. The method uses adaptive physical-state interactions, Slice‑Residual Physics‑Attention, and an axis‑factorized Fourier operator to enable information exchange between representations. Across five standard PDE benchmarks, Transolver‑σ reduces benchmark‑averaged relative error by 33.4% compared to the strongest baseline and shows strong performance on coupled multiphysics systems and real‑world fluid and combustion data.
