arXiv:2606.17460v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural operators are widely used as surrogate solution maps for partial differential equations (PDEs), but full-size models can be costly to store, deploy, and evaluate in many-query scientific workflows. This work introduces Operator Boosting, a stagewise residual-learning framework for constructing compact neural-operator surrogates directly, rather than training a large model and compressing it afterward. Starting from the empirical mean predictor in normalized output coordinates, the method trains a sequence of tiny same-family neural operato
The increasing computational demand and cost of large AI models for scientific applications necessitate more efficient and compact solutions to broaden their utility.
This development offers a method to create highly efficient AI surrogates for complex physical simulations, significantly reducing the compute requirements for scientific research and engineering workflows.
The ability to generate Pareto-efficient PDE surrogates directly changes the approach from training large models and then compressing them, to building compact, high-performing models from the outset.
