arXiv:2602.10132v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Development and operation of commercially viable fusion energy reactors such as tokamaks require accurate predictions of plasma dynamics from sparse, noisy, and incomplete sensors readings. The complexity of the underlying physics and the heterogeneity of experimental data pose formidable challenges for conventional numerical methods, and highlight the promise of modern data-native approaches. A major obstacle in realizing this potential is, however, the lack of curated, openly available datasets and standardized benchmarks. Existing fu
The increasing complexity of fusion energy research demands advanced data-driven approaches, especially with the maturity of AI techniques, making standardized benchmarks crucial for accelerated development.
This benchmark addresses a key bottleneck in fusion energy research, potentially accelerating the development of commercially viable reactors and impacting global energy supply.
The availability of a comprehensive benchmark will standardize evaluation for AI models in fusion energy, enabling faster progress and clearer comparisons of different approaches.
