In solving partial differential equations (PDEs), Fourier Neural Operators (FNOs) have demonstrated notable effectiveness, but only when using small Fourier kernels. This limitation restricts FNO’s ability to capture complex PDE data in real-world applications. To address this issue, the authors propose SpecB-FNO, a modified version of FNO that incorporates additional residual modules to iteratively learn from previous predictions’ residuals. By leveraging large Fourier kernels, SpecB-FNO achieves better prediction accuracy on diverse PDE applications, with an average improvement of 50%.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
Fourier Neural Operators are great at solving partial differential equations, but only when they use small sets of frequencies. This makes it hard for them to capture the complexity of real-world data. To fix this, researchers created a new version called SpecB-FNO that can learn from its own mistakes and use more frequencies. It works better than the original FNO on many different types of PDE problems.
