Neural Operators – Deep learning at any resolution Extending neural networks to function spaces: While many phenomena are inherently described by functions, neural networks define vector-to-vector mappings that rely on fixed discretization of the input and output. Neural Operators instead define learnable function-to-function mappings that guarantee consistent predictions across different discretization of the input and output functions. By respecting the functional nature of the data, neural operators can achieve improved performance and generalization. Translating the success of deep learning to operator learning: Careful engineering of neural architectures has been a key factor in deep learning’s success. Translating these architectures to neural operators is crucial for operator learning to enjoy the same empirical optimizations.

2024 was a pivotal year for AI Science. Our team made exciting contributions. Here are some highlights: tensorlab.cms.caltech.edu/us… 1. Neural Operators as a unifying AI framework for modeling multi-scale processes. We got to write a perspective article in @NatRevPhys and released an open-source library that has been widely adopted. 2. FourCastNet, our Neural-Operator-based model, featured in the @WHOSTP PCAST report on AI Science. Its speed enables large ensembles to obtain unprecedented predictions of extreme weather events. 3. Designed a novel medical catheter using Neural Operator-based inverse design. 4. Used Neural Operators with reinforcement learning for turbulence stabilization and wall friction reduction. 5. Many other applications where Neural Operators have shown a big impact: nuclear fusion, computational imaging, Carbon capture and storage etc. 6. Gave a @TEDTalks highlighting AI Science. 7. Exascale training of genome-scale language models for protein design that was recognized as a finalist for the ACM Gordon-Bell prize. 8. State-of-the-art protein-ligand structure prediction that can handle changing protein conformations that Alphafold and other methods cannot. 9. AI Math innovations with LLM Lean for theorem proving. 10. Hardware-efficient large-scale training such as gradient projections and mini-sequence transformers. 11. Many honors such as @iitmadras Distinguished Alumnus award, and @BlavatnikAwards

Introducing NeuralOperator 1.0: a Python library that aims at democratizing neural operators for scientific applications by providing all the tools for learning neural operators in PyTorch : state-of-the-art models, built-in trainers for quick starting and modular neural operator blocks for advanced used in your own workflow or to build new architectures.
