Title: Small Models, Strong Priors: Architectural Inductive Bias for Parameter-Efficient Neural PDE Solvers
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.25949v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural PDE solvers have followed the scaling trajectory of vision and language, with recent foundation models reaching billions of parameters. We argue that scale is a poor substitute for architectural inductive bias in this domain: structured priors deliver outsized parameter efficiency, and the pattern of where they succeed and fail is itself informative about what they capture. We instantiate this argument in WaveLiT, an architecture combining
