RepNet: Tackling spectral bias in deep neural networks via parameter reparameterization

arXiv:2606. 16575v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved remarkable success in scientific computing, yet they often suffer from spectral bias in capturing oscillatory and multiscale behaviors.

When Does Frequency Decomposition Benefit Physics-Informed Neural Networks? A Preliminary Ablation Study

The paper investigates when frequency decomposition aids Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) by introducing a dual‑branch, spectrally‑gated architecture (DBSG‑PINN) that separates low‑ and high‑frequency components. Experiments on five one‑dimensional PDE benchmarks show that frequency decomposition significantly reduces error—up to 59.2% on a multimodal wave problem—when the target solution is spectrally complex, but offers little improvement on smoother problems and can even worsen performance on a simple 1D wave benchmark. The adaptive gate’s effectiveness scales with the spectral richness of the solution, suggesting it exploits frequency structure rather than adding noise.

Frequency Selective Neural Networks as a Foundation Architecture for Time Series Learning

The paper introduces the Frequency Selective Neural Network (FSNN), a new foundation architecture for time‑series learning that embeds advanced signal‑processing mathematics into its neural topology. By using a fully differentiable Wiener‑like filter bank optimized with complex‑domain backpropagation, FSNN autonomously discovers and isolates the precise physical modes of a given task, thereby avoiding the spectral entanglement that plagues CNNs, RNNs, and Transformers. Extensive evaluations show that FSNN achieves state‑of‑the‑art predictive performance, attaining 77.0 % average accuracy on the 10 multivariate UEA datasets and leading all major metrics on the imbalanced PTB‑XL ECG benchmark, while converging directly on physically meaningful frequency bands such as the cardiac QRS complex.

Gradient Surgery for Physics-Informed Neural Networks

The paper introduces PAM-GS, a physics-aware gradient surgery technique for Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). It addresses the highly imbalanced multi-task optimisation problem in PINNs by adaptively mitigating task interference based on observed gradient conflicts. Experiments on four PDE benchmarks show that PAM-GS achieves competitive solution accuracy while maintaining strong task-balanced performance, outperforming existing methods on most problems.

Theory of the Frequency Principle for General Deep Neural Networks

arXiv:1906. 09235v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Along with fruitful applications of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to realistic problems, recently, some empirical studies of DNNs reported a universal phenomenon of Frequency Principle (F-Principle): a DNN tends to learn a target function from low to high frequencies during the training.

Spectral Gating via Damped Oscillations for Adaptive Implicit Neural Representations

arXiv:2606. 23129v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) have been proven successful in encoding continuous signals through coordinate-based networks, yet facing a spectral dilemma: periodic activations capture fine details but act as all-pass filters that memorise noise, while spatially compact activations regularise effectively but suffer from low-frequency bias.
