arXiv:2607. 04113v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion and flow-matching samplers integrate a learned probability-flow ODE from a large noise scale down to a small terminal floor $\sigma_{\min}$, at which the score is stiff and the flow develops a boundary layer.

arXiv:2608. 12624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Structure-preserving machine learning embeds physical structure directly into model architectures, yet uncertainty quantification (UQ) for such hard-constrained models remains limited because standard UQ methods may violate the encoded admissibility conditions, require architectural modifications, or impose substantial computational costs.

arXiv:2608. 12655v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A flat training curve does not reveal whether a neural network has reached a global optimum, is locally trapped, is representation-limited, or is mismatched to its trainer.

arXiv:2608. 02036v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Extending the neural-operator element method from individually trained, fixed-geometry neural elements to a library of reusable, geometry-parameterized element types fails structurally: a field-predicting operator trained by value regression induces an energy whose assembled Hessian is indefinite, and Newton converges to spurious minima (247% error) even with 1%-accurate field predictions.

arXiv:2606. 01122v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a five-step diagnostic protocol for residual-trained neural HJB-PIDE solvers with control-dependent L\'evy jumps, targeting a general failure mode of neural PDE methods: a learned solution can match headline scalar diagnostics while miscomputing an operator inside its training loss.

Extending the neural-operator element method from individually trained, fixed-geometry neural elements to a library of reusable, geometry-parameterized element types fails structurally: a field-predicting operator trained by value regression induces an energy whose assembled Hessian is indefinite, and Newton converges to spurious minima (247% error) even with 1%-accurate field predictions. We introduce convex neural energy elements: each element exports a scalar energy E(g,U), architecturally convex in its boundary degrees of freedom U and smoothly parameterized by its geometry g, realized as a hypernetwork-generated positive-semidefinite quadratic form (an input-convex correction is reserved for non-quadratic physics).
The paper investigates why latent neural surrogate solvers, which compress physical system dynamics into a lower‑dimensional space, often fail during long‑horizon autoregressive rollouts. It demonstrates that training the latent representation only for reconstruction leads to instability, and proposes a set of training interventions—Koopman operator learning, Hamming noise injection, and multi‑step rollout fine‑tuning—that align the latent space with long‑horizon forecasting. These interventions reduce long‑rollout error by about 40 % and achieve accuracy comparable to full‑resolution models while using far fewer floating‑point operations and GPU memory, enabling stable extrapolation in mesoscale crystal‑plasticity simulations of high‑cycle fatigue.

Diffusion and flow-matching samplers integrate a learned probability-flow ODE from a large noise scale down to a small terminal floor $σ_{\min}$, at which the score is stiff and the flow develops a boundary layer. We treat $σ_{\min}$ as a singular-perturbation parameter and determine which fixed-step samplers are asymptotic-preserving (AP), that is, stable and uniformly accurate as $σ_{\min}\to0$, casting the criteria as an a posteriori audit: residual functionals with $σ_{\min}$-uniform coefficients, computable on a pretrained checkpoint without ground-truth scores or exact trajectories.
arXiv:2607. 27000v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Optimization in non-convex neural network models is strongly influenced by the geometry of the solution space: sparse, isolated, point-like clusters are typically algorithmically inaccessible, whereas wide and flat regions can be found efficiently despite being relatively rare.

arXiv:2606. 27354v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural surrogate models offer fast approximate mappings from PDE parameters to solutions, but they typically treat solving as a purely statistical task: once trained, they struggle to correct their own constraint violations and extrapolate beyond the training distribution.

arXiv:2606. 08779v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a pivotal post-training paradigm, yet it frequently suffers from unpredictable sub-optimum performance or even training collapses.
