arXiv:2512.14980v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion models have become a powerful generative prior for solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs). Existing approaches enforce physical constraints either by adding the PDE residuals as loss regularizers or through inference-time adjustments. These methods bias the model away from the true data distribution, which is especially problematic when the governing PDE is misspecified. To circumvent these issues while making the most out of the PDE constraint, we introduce soft inductive biases into the denoiser architecture derived fr
The rapid advancement in diffusion models for generative AI is leading to more sophisticated methods for integrating physical constraints into their architecture.
This development enhances the reliability and applicability of AI in scientific computing, particularly for complex systems modeled by PDEs, moving AI from prediction to deeper understanding.
Diffusion models can now incorporate physical laws more accurately without distorting underlying data distributions, making AI-driven scientific discovery more robust and trustworthy.
