StablePDENet: Enhancing Neural Operator Stability through Physics-Informed Residual-Sensitivity Regularization

The paper introduces StablePDENet, a physics-informed adversarial training framework that regularizes the residual sensitivity of neural operators to improve stability against input perturbations. The method formulates operator learning as a min–max optimization, where a physics-based projected‑gradient adversary generates perturbations and the outer objective combines the attacked physics loss with a normalized residual‑sensitivity penalty. Experiments on benchmark problems show that StablePDENet outperforms PI‑DeepONet and its adversarial variant in accuracy under adversarial attacks while maintaining competitive performance on clean data, and it also enhances generalization and highlights the distinction between model sensitivity and intrinsic operator ill‑conditioning.

Differentiable Hybrid Modelling for Learning and Optimising Chemical Transport Processes from Experimental Data

The paper presents a differentiable hybrid modelling framework that combines a JAX finite volume population balance solver with learnable neural network components. This approach learns constitutive laws and initial conditions directly from experimental data, improving the fidelity of transport models in chemical engineering. The framework’s differentiability also enables optimisation of experimental settings for desired process outcomes.

Uncertainty-Aware Predictive Safety Filters for Probabilistic Neural Network Dynamics

arXiv:2604. 26836v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Predictive safety filters (PSFs) leverage model predictive control to enforce constraint satisfaction during deep reinforcement learning (RL) exploration, yet their reliance on first-principles models or Gaussian processes limits scalability and broader applicability.
