Amortizing Physics-Informed Neural Solvers via Graph Hypernetworks

Abstract

Amortizing physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) across related PDEs requires describing each equation to a reusable solver. Coefficient vectors encode numerical parameters in predefined slots, leaving operator and cross-field assignments implicit. We make these relationships explicit in an operator graph, with nodes for fields, derivatives, terms, and residuals and coefficients retained as term attributes. A graph hypernetwork generates diagonal codes that initialize a meta-trained factorized PINN for each target equation. Meta-training and target-specific adaptation use governing equations and prescribed conditions without solution labels. We compare coefficient-vector, DeepSets-based term-set, and graph conditioning by solution accuracy within a fixed adaptation budget. In scalar convection-diffusion-reaction problems, both term-based descriptors improve high-reaction accuracy, with similar performance. In two-field Fisher-KPP, meta-training sees uncoupled and one-way systems; after 3,000 adaptation steps on unseen two-way coupling, the graph's mean final error is 35.7% below the term set and 67.7% below the coefficient vector. In a fixed-structure capacitively coupled plasma model, the coefficient vector performs best. These results support extending coefficient conditioning with explicit equation relationships for physics-based solver adaptation.

Random Polytope Descriptors

We introduce a class of random polytopes which simultaneously generalizes several known constructions. While being fairly general, these polytopes are also computationally exceptionally benign. We indicate how these properties can be exploited for classification and clustering tasks in data analysis. Crucially, our construction lets users smoothly trade off between a tighter description of the data and faster computation.

CurvFed: Curvature-Aligned Federated Learning for Fairness without Demographics

Modern human sensing applications often rely on data distributed across users and devices, where privacy concerns prevent centralized training. Federated Learning (FL) addresses this challenge by enabling collaborative model training without exposing raw data or attributes. However, achieving fairness in such settings remains difficult, as most human sensing datasets lack demographic labels, and FL's privacy guarantees limit the use of sensitive attributes. This paper introduces CurvFed: Curvature Aligned Federated Learning for Fairness without Demographics, a theoretically grounded framework that promotes fairness in FL without requiring any demographic or sensitive attribute information, a concept termed Fairness without Demographics (FWD), by optimizing the underlying loss landscape curvature. Building on the theory that equivalent loss landscape curvature corresponds to consistent model efficacy across sensitive attribute groups, CurvFed regularizes the top eigenvalue of the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) as an efficient proxy for loss landscape curvature, both within and across clients. This alignment promotes uniform model behavior across diverse bias inducing factors, offering an attribute agnostic route to algorithmic fairness. CurvFed is especially suitable for real world human sensing FL scenarios involving single or multi user edge devices with unknown or multiple bias factors. We validated CurvFed through theoretical and empirical justifications, as well as comprehensive evaluations using three real world datasets and a deployment on a heterogeneous testbed of resource constrained devices. Additionally, we conduct sensitivity analyses on local training data volume, client sampling, communication overhead, resource costs, and runtime performance to demonstrate its feasibility for practical FL edge device deployment.

Path Regularization: A Near-Complete and Optimal Nonasymptotic Generalization Theory for Multilayer Neural Networks and Double Descent Phenomenon

Path regularization has shown to be a very effective regularization to train neural networks, leading to a better generalization property than common regularizations i.e. weight decay, etc. We propose a first near-complete (as will be made explicit in the main text) nonasymptotic generalization theory for multilayer neural networks with path regularizations for general learning problems. In particular, it does not require the boundedness of the loss function, as is commonly assumed in the literature. Our theory goes beyond the bias-variance tradeoff and aligns with phenomena typically encountered in deep learning. It is therefore sharply different from other existing nonasymptotic generalization error bounds. More explicitly, we propose an explicit generalization error upper bound for multilayer neural networks with $σ(0)=0$ and sufficiently broad Lipschitz loss functions, without requiring the width, depth, or other hyperparameters of the neural network to approach infinity, a specific neural network architecture (e.g., sparsity), or boundedness of the loss function, while also taking approximation error into consideration. In particular, we solve an open problem proposed by Weinan E et. al. in 2020 regarding the approximation rates in generalized Barron spaces. Furthermore, we show the near-minimax optimality of our theory for regression problems with ReLU activations. Notably, our upper bound exhibits the famous double descent phenomenon for such networks, which is the most distinguished characteristic compared with other existing results. Our subsequent work will prove the matching lower bounds in the minimax sense, meaning that it is highly possible that our theory reveals the true underlying mechanism of the double descent phenomenon. We can also explain scaling law from this theory.
