The paper proposes a novel approach to developing foundational neural Partial Differential Equation (PDE) solvers and neural operators through large-scale pretraining. The authors aim to reduce the cost of data collection by pretraining these solvers on lower-dimensional PDEs, which are less expensive to obtain. They use the Factorized Fourier Neural Operator (FFNO) due to its flexibility in handling arbitrary spatial dimensions and reusing trained parameters in lower dimensions. The effectiveness of this pretraining strategy is evaluated in similar PDEs with higher dimensions. Additionally, the paper explores the impact of fine-tuning configurations on maximizing the benefits of this approach.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
In simple terms, this paper is about training machines to solve complex math problems called Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). Right now, it’s expensive and difficult to get data for these equations. The researchers tried a new way to train machines using simpler PDEs that are cheaper to obtain. They used a special algorithm called Factorized Fourier Neural Operator (FFNO) because it can work with different sizes of data and reuse knowledge learned from smaller problems. The goal is to make it easier and more affordable to solve these complex math problems.
