COFM: Consistent Optimal Transport Flow Matching via Partially Input Convex Neural Networks

The paper introduces COFM, a framework for consistent optimal transport flow matching that uses partially input convex neural networks (PICNN) to parameterize the transport potential. By adding a Hamilton‑Jacobi residual to the training objective, COFM enforces dynamical consistency and supports both one‑step transport and multi‑step ODE sampling without costly inner optimization. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that COFM achieves competitive performance while reducing L^2‑UVP by over 2× and cutting computational time by about 9× compared to state‑of‑the‑art models.

Loss Landscape Geometry of Partial Differential Equation Emulators: Or, Symmetry Learning via Gradient Alignment

The paper introduces a diagnostic tool that measures how neural emulators of partial differential equations capture physical symmetries by evaluating the overlap of loss gradients along symmetry-related states. This metric probes the local geometry of the learned loss landscape and goes beyond traditional equivariance tests by directly assessing learning dynamics. Applied to autoregressive fluid flow emulators, the study shows that orbit-wise gradient coherence enables generalization over symmetry transformations and reveals when training selects a symmetry-compatible basin.
