Mixture-of-Experts Operator Transformer for Large-Scale PDE Pre-Training

A new study introduces a Mixture-of-Experts Operator Transformer aimed at improving the pre-training of neural operators for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). This approach addresses the challenges posed by diverse PDE datasets, which often lead to high error rates during mixed training. By optimizing the model's structure, the researchers aim to reduce inference costs while enhancing performance. This innovation is significant as it could lead to more efficient and accurate solutions in various scientific and engineering applications, ultimately advancing the field of machine learning.
