Spatial Context or Memory? Sizing the Inputs of Neural Surrogates for Partially Observed Fields

Neural surrogates for forecasting physical fields from sparse, noisy sensors typically use a spatial window and a temporal history of past snapshots. This study compares the trade‑off between window size and history length against the Bayes‑optimal error, showing that for fields with local dynamics the optimal forecast relies mainly on distant sensors via spatial correlation. Experiments on Burgers flow and the chaotic Kuramoto‑Sivashinsky equation reveal that the benefit of additional snapshots depends on lead time and system stability, leading to design rules that size the window in correlation lengths and split input budgets between window and history based on forecast horizon.

Latent dynamics for reconstructing fine-scale PDE trajectories from coarse observations

The paper introduces Structured Latent Dynamics (SLD), a method that reconstructs high‑resolution partial differential equation (PDE) trajectories from coarse, downsampled observations. SLD interpolates input in time, applies a learned temporal correction, and updates a hidden state using learned gated responses combined with spatial differences and a Laplacian term. Two Haar wavelet synthesis branches then map the hidden state and refined coarse input to produce fine‑scale fields, achieving lower error than baseline models on several benchmark PDE systems.

RECAST: A Machine-Learning Framework for Correction and Super-Resolution of Coarse-Grid PDE Solvers

Coarse-grid numerical solvers can substantially reduce the computational cost of time-dependent PDE simulation, but under-resolution often degrades both the trajectory and the spatial fidelity of the solution. We introduce RECAST (Recurrent Error Correction And Super-resolution of coarse-grid Trajectories), a machine-learning framework designed to restore this lost accuracy while retaining coarse-grid evolution.

Revalidation Beats Stateful Routing for Scientific Surrogates Under Distribution Shift

The study introduces RegimeShift‑Surrogates, a streaming benchmark that tests surrogate models across eight tasks and multiple regimes. It compares revalidation—choosing the model with lowest current‑window validation loss—to stateful adaptive controllers and finds that revalidation consistently outperforms stateful methods, achieving lower mean log regret in most task‑scenario combinations. The results suggest that fresh validation evidence is more valuable than carrying over past evidence when dealing with distribution shifts.
