ArGEnT: Arbitrary Geometry-encoded Transformer for Operator Learning

arXiv:2602. 11626v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Learning solution operators on arbitrary geometries remains a central challenge in scientific machine learning, especially for many-query simulation, physics-informed learning, and evolving geometries requiring accurate, geometry-aware predictions at arbitrary spatial locations.

Successive Capacity Growth: Task-Complexity-Driven Width and Depth Expansion for Vision Transformer Encoders in JEPA World Models

The paper introduces Successive Capacity Growth (SCG), a method for adaptively expanding Vision Transformer encoders in Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs). SCG starts with a minimal encoder and incrementally increases width or depth based on a task‑agnostic test‑and‑verify mechanism, while a Sketched Isotropic Gaussian Regularizer (SIGReg) keeps learned semantic dimensions independent. Experiments on multi‑object dynamics and 2D navigation tasks show that SCG achieves up to 20.3% better prediction loss than fixed small baselines and 23% better than fixed large models, with far greater parameter efficiency and no false‑positive expansions.
