Researchers have identified a problem called Gradient-Update Mismatch (GUM) in training Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). GUM occurs when optimizers, even after gradient surgery methods attempt to resolve conflicting gradients, introduce new conflicts in the update direction. This discrepancy can lead to significant errors, with conflict rates reaching up to 86.3% across various optimizers. To address this, the researchers propose Gradient-Update Alignment (GUA), a method that projects the optimizer's proposed update onto the conflict-free cone, consistently improving performance and reducing errors by up to 98.2% in tested PINN settings.
