In this paper, researchers introduce the Latent Neural Operator (LNO), a novel approach to solving partial differential equations (PDEs) using neural operators. Unlike existing methods that operate in the original geometric space, LNO solves PDEs in the latent space, reducing computational costs and improving efficiency. The model combines Physics-Cross-Attention (PhCA) for transforming representations from the geometric space to the latent space, learning an operator in the latent space, and recovering the real-world geometric space via inverse PhCA mapping. This allows LNO to naturally perform interpolation and extrapolation tasks, particularly useful for inverse problems. Experiments demonstrate that LNO achieves state-of-the-art accuracy on four out of six benchmarks for forward problems and a benchmark for inverse problem, while reducing GPU memory by 50% and speeding up training 1.8 times.

This paper is about using computers to solve complex math problems without knowing the exact rules. It creates a new way to do this that’s faster and more efficient than existing methods. The new method uses something called latent space, which helps it work with large amounts of data. This can be useful for solving problems that involve things like predicting future values or finding unknown information.
