We're happy to report that our Physics-based Flow Matching framework got an accept for ICLR'26! Physics-Based Flow Matching (PBFM) is a principled framework that explicitly targets Pareto-optimal solutions between physics-constraints and data-driven objectives.

Guiding diffusion models to reconstruct flow fields from sparse data The reconstruction of unsteady flow fields from limited measurements is a challenging and crucial task for many engineering applications. Machine learning model

Great to see our paper on physics-constrained reconstruction / super-res with generative models posted online now at doi.org/10.1063/5.03... 😁

- PDE Transformer as backbone architecture
- differentiable physics constraints to guide
- and ConFIG as optimizer to resolve conflicts in the gradients

Can AI surrogates outperform their training data? Turns out the answer is yes - with a few caveats πŸ˜‰ tum-pbs.github.io/emulator-sup... #neurips This surprising behavior leads to interesting and fundamental questions about the role of training data, and about how NN surrogates should be evaluated.

Can your AI surpass the simulator that taught it? What if the key to more accurate PDE modeling lies in questioning your training data's origins? πŸ€”

Congratulations to Hao, Aleksandra and Bjoern for their NeurIPS paper tum-pbs.github.io/inc-paper/ πŸ‘ It analyzes how hybrid PDE solvers fundamentally and provably benefit from "indirect" (force-based) corrections rather than direct ones. Baking the corrections via INC reduces error growth!
