arXiv:2608. 09382v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Electromagnetic inverse scattering is a nonlinear and ill-posed problem, where accurate reconstruction is challenging due to measurement limitations, noise, and high computational costs, especially for 3-D imaging.
The paper introduces a coordinate-residual physics-driven neural network (CRPDNN) for 3‑D electromagnetic inverse scattering. CRPDNN models the unknown contrast distribution using normalized spatial coordinates and a residual convolutional network, optimizing parameters by enforcing consistency between measured and predicted scattered fields. It eliminates the need for preliminary reconstruction, achieving lower relative error and significant speedups compared to existing methods, while maintaining stability under noisy measurements and showing promise in practical imaging experiments.

The paper presents a method for training single‑step neural surrogates that can handle wave‑scattering problems with tens of thousands of controllable variables. By dynamically generating training examples that highlight surrogate errors and using a replay dataset with normalization, the authors achieve a surrogate that accurately simulates two‑dimensional wave scattering for up to 41,772 variables and generalizes to over 3 million variables without retraining. The surrogate is applied to forward simulations and inverse design of freeform beam splitters and gradient‑index lenses, achieving speedups up to 26.5× compared to traditional FDTD methods.

By dynamically generating training examples through gradient ascent and using a replay dataset with normalization, the authors achieve a surrogate that accurately models two‑dimensional wave scattering for up to 41,772 variables and can generalize to over 3 million variables without retraining. The surrogate demonstrates comparable or better performance than traditional FDTD simulations for large‑scale forward simulations and inverse design of photonic devices, achieving speedups up to 26.5×.
The paper introduces Scalable Bayesian Optimization of Composite Functions (SBOCF) for efficiently estimating physical parameters from scientific images, specifically targeting electron microscopy PACBED patterns. SBOCF leverages the composite structure of the image-matching objective, reducing modeled outputs from 24,649 to 11 by using patch-level summaries and correction terms. With only 50 simulator evaluations, SBOCF outperformed standard Bayesian optimization, achieving up to 290× lower median SSE on synthetic SrTiO3 benchmarks and producing accurate parameter estimates on experimental data without task-specific pretraining.

arXiv:2607. 05271v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) encounter ill-posed optimization, loss competition, and parameter compensation in partial differential equation (PDE) inverse problems.
The paper introduces $K$-NeAS, a scalable neural architecture for multi-material CT reconstruction that replaces separate material networks with a shared latent backbone and a differentiable $K$-material soft selector. It automates attenuation bounds using a Gaussian Mixture Model and adds a scheduled auxiliary floater loss to reduce geometric hallucinations in sparse-view settings. Evaluated on four clinical CBCT datasets, $K$-NeAS achieves higher 3D volumetric fidelity—up to a 1.88 dB PSNR gain over a single-material baseline—and shows improved robustness under extreme sparsity, outperforming baselines by up to 1.17 dB.
