ROMNet: a hybrid reduced order modeling and machine learning approach to waveform inversion

ROMNet is a hybrid reduced‑order modeling and machine‑learning framework designed to improve waveform inversion for acoustic waves. It replaces the costly nonlinear mapping from a reduced‑order model (ROM) matrix to wave speed with a neural network that outputs a simpler ROM matrix, thereby reducing computational effort. The method is validated on two training datasets—random Gaussian‑based media and the GeoFWI benchmark—and compared against direct ROM inversion and two deep‑learning FWI approaches, Fourier‑DeepONet and InversionNet.

Inductively Scalable, Single-Step Neural Surrogates for Wave-Scattering Inverse Problems

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.

Inductively Scalable, Single-Step Neural Surrogates for Wave-Scattering Inverse Problems

The paper presents a method for training single‑step neural surrogates that can handle wave‑scattering inverse problems with tens of thousands of controllable variables. 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×.

Robust Broad Learning System with Wave Loss for Classification under Data Uncertainty

The paper introduces Wave-BLS, a robust Broad Learning System that replaces the traditional squared error loss with an asymmetric, bounded, and smooth wave loss function. This change allows controlled penalization of large errors and eliminates the need for matrix inversion by using a Nesterov accelerated gradient scheme. Experiments on 30 UCI datasets show that Wave-BLS consistently outperforms classical BLS and other robust variants, with statistical tests confirming the significance of the improvements and demonstrating greater resilience to noise and outliers.

Generative wave propagator

arXiv:2607. 04440v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Seismic wavefield simulation is fundamental to seismology, but conventional finite-difference (FD) methods remain limited by numerical dispersion and stability constraints, which often require dense spatial grids and small time steps and thereby severely limit the effectiveness of iterative inversion workflows.
