LieStoNet: Learning Lie Symmetries from Spatiotemporal Data for Stochastic Dynamical Systems

arXiv:2608. 01582v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Symmetry is central to modern machine learning and physics: invariances and equivariances improve sample efficiency, robustness, and out-of-distribution generalization, while symmetry principles guide scientific modeling.

Loss Landscape Geometry of Partial Differential Equation Emulators: Or, Symmetry Learning via Gradient Alignment

The paper introduces a diagnostic tool that measures how neural emulators of partial differential equations capture physical symmetries by evaluating the overlap of loss gradients along symmetry-related states. This metric probes the local geometry of the learned loss landscape and goes beyond traditional equivariance tests by directly assessing learning dynamics. Applied to autoregressive fluid flow emulators, the study shows that orbit-wise gradient coherence enables generalization over symmetry transformations and reveals when training selects a symmetry-compatible basin.
