The paper introduces a variational framework called VAMO that incorporates latent Markov dynamics for neural PDE solvers, aiming to improve long‑horizon predictions by mitigating error accumulation. By representing physical states as latent distributions and evolving them through probabilistic transitions, the method aligns learned dynamics with a spectral geometry induced by structured Gaussian perturbations. Experiments on fluid‑dynamics benchmarks show that VAMO reduces error growth and enhances rollout stability compared to deterministic and noise‑injection baselines.
The paper introduces the Recurrent Divisive Normalization Network (RDNN), a minimal model that incorporates divisive normalization—a common neural computation—to stabilize continuous working memory representations. Dynamical systems analysis shows that this biophysical constraint enables the network to converge to robust, high‑fidelity slow manifolds, while gradient dynamics during Backpropagation Through Time reveal an activity‑dependent local scaling that compresses the network’s effective rank into a low‑dimensional subspace. Ablation studies confirm that divisive normalization, rather than subtractive inhibition, is essential for preventing manifold shattering under time‑varying inputs.

The paper introduces a reverse spatio‑temporal disease progression model that reconstructs unobserved healthier anatomy from later diseased scans. It employs a two‑stage architecture: a frozen 3D vector‑quantised autoencoder creates a discrete latent space, and a Neural ODE learns continuous‑time dynamics, with a recurrent encoder initializing the latent state from reverse‑ordered observations. Experiments on a synthetic Morpho‑MNIST benchmark and longitudinal Alzheimer’s MRIs show the model can recover unseen prior states and outperform baseline methods in predicting healthy trajectories.
arXiv:2603. 12676v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Generalizing neural surrogate models across different PDE parameters remains difficult because changes in PDE coefficients often make learning harder and optimization less stable.
arXiv:2607. 22262v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modeling shared and subject-specific structure in multisubject spatiotemporal data remains challenging, particularly in neuroimaging, where both spatial and temporal patterns exhibit rich variability across subjects.
