Researchers have developed a new framework called Spectral-Spatial Residual Learning (S2RL) to address the spectral bias issue in Fourier Neural Operators (FNOs). This bias causes FNOs to produce over-smoothed predictions by filtering out high-frequency components, which is problematic for accurately capturing interference patterns in underwater acoustic applications. S2RL improves prediction accuracy by first generating a globally consistent prediction with a spectral Global Propagator and then refining it with a spatial Local Refiner to recover high-frequency details. Experiments on a South China Sea dataset demonstrated that S2RL significantly outperforms standard FNOs while maintaining fast inference speeds. AI
