Transmission Factors for Lossy Compression of PDE Training Data: Measuring What Reaches a Trained Operator

The paper discusses how operator‑learning benchmarks are stored as full‑precision arrays that have grown to terabyte scale, and curators must decide how coarsely to compress them. It argues that the usual tolerance on reconstruction error of the stored field is measured in the wrong place, because what matters is the accuracy of a model trained on the compressed copy, not the raw field error. The authors propose a new metric: push a compressed field through a model trained at full precision and compare its output to the output on the clean field, which captures the portion of codec error that actually reaches the model’s output. This metric spans more than two orders of magnitude across six PDE families and correctly orders downstream cost where field error does not, reversing many cross‑dataset comparisons.

Error-Conditioned Neural Solvers

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.

Training-free Acceleration for Blind Compressed Image Restoration via Activation-Calibrated Singular Value Decomposition

The paper proposes a training‑free acceleration technique for transformer‑based blind compressed image restoration models. By profiling computation hotspots and channel‑wise activation distributions, the authors identify recurrent projection operators that can be replaced with low‑rank approximations. They introduce Activation‑Calibrated Singular Value Decomposition (ASVD), which derives low‑rank factors offline from pretrained weights and a few calibration images, achieving significant parameter and computation reductions while improving PSNR‑B over a TSVD baseline.

Beyond Compression: Training Latent Representations for Stable Long-Horizon Rollout in Neural Surrogate Solvers

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.
