One-shot acceleration of transient PDE solvers via online-learned preconditioners

arXiv:2509. 08765v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Data-driven acceleration of scientific computing workflows has been a high-profile aim of machine learning (ML) for science, with numerical simulation of transient partial differential equations (PDEs) being one of the main applications.

CAST: Causal Advantage-Structured Training with Spatially Grounded Compositional Rewards for Diffusion Models

CAST introduces a reinforcement‑learning fine‑tuning framework for diffusion models that addresses three key limitations: it automatically selects the denoising window based on each model’s trajectory, decomposes prompts into verifiable semantic atoms via Causal Scene Graphs, and applies atom‑level rewards spatially weighted in the policy objective. The method is applied to FLUX.2‑dev and Qwen‑Image‑2512, yielding up to 3.07× improvement on the hardest GenEval 2 prompts compared with Flow‑GRPO while also enhancing overall generation quality.
