Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2510. 14007v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce Conditional Clifford-Steerable CNNs (C-CSCNNs), a unified framework that incorporates equivariance to arbitrary pseudo-Euclidean groups and significantly improves the expressivity of standard CSCNNs.

Beyond Time Induction: Structured Conditional Neural Solvers for Parametric Stochastic-Volatility Pricing

The paper introduces BeTINN, a structured conditional neural network architecture that extends time‑induced modulation with multi‑directional time‑parameter conditioning and a joint residual pathway. BeTINN is evaluated on the Heston stochastic‑volatility PDE, showing improved accuracy for both option values and key sensitivity metrics compared to baseline models. Ablation studies highlight the contributions of each architectural component, and the authors observe that physics‑based validation loss does not fully capture derivative fidelity, underscoring the need for derivative‑aware evaluation when sensitivities are important.

Surrogate Modeling of 3D Rayleigh-Benard Convection with Equivariant Autoencoders

The paper introduces an end‑to‑end equivariant surrogate model for three‑dimensional Rayleigh‑Bénard convection, combining an equivariant convolutional autoencoder with an equivariant convolutional LSTM that employs $G$‑steerable kernels. The architecture exploits $D_4$‑steerable kernels in vertically stacked layers and partial kernel sharing in the vertical direction to respect the system’s E(2) equivariance in the horizontal plane while handling broken translational symmetry vertically. Experiments show notable improvements in sample and parameter efficiency and better scaling to more complex dynamics.

Local gradient neural operator

The paper introduces the Local Gradient Neural Operator (LGNO), a lightweight and interpretable neural operator designed for field temporal evolution prediction and source identification in mechanical problems. LGNO leverages nonlinear gradient discretization priors and multilayer perceptron convolutional layers to learn translation‑invariant local kernels resembling discrete stencils, with a zero‑consistent stencil factorization that separates coefficient learning from field reconstruction. Experiments on a range of PDE benchmarks—including linear, nonlinear, static, dynamic, low‑ and high‑dimensional cases—demonstrate that LGNO achieves comparable accuracy to global neural operators while using fewer parameters and maintaining rollout stability across diffusion, flow, and quantum phenomena.

Physics-Informed Conformal Prediction: Embedding PDE Consistency into Distribution-Free Uncertainty Quantification for Neural Operators

Physics-Informed Conformal Prediction (PI‑CP) embeds PDE residuals into the nonconformity score of split conformal prediction, yielding distribution‑free prediction intervals with provable coverage that adapt spatially to physics violations. The method demonstrates consistent 89‑91% coverage across six physics scenarios, outperforming MC Dropout and Deep Ensembles, while Fourier Neural Operators (FNO) achieve superior accuracy over CNN and DeepONet. Additionally, the authors prove that FNO’s translation equivariance limits its ability to solve PDEs with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and show that adding coordinate channels can reduce error by up to 63×.
