Neural operator benchmarks on 'The Well' dataset questioned by new study

A new arXiv paper challenges the performance benchmarks of neural operator models on 'The Well' dataset. The authors found that the original baselines, which were presented as illustrative and trained with minimal tuning, have been treated as definitive. By conducting a limited hyperparameter search for the Tucker-factorized Fourier Neural Operator (TFNO) under the same constraints, the researchers achieved significantly better results on most tasks, sometimes by orders of magnitude. This suggests that the initial neural operator baselines may not accurately reflect architectural performance. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for rigorous evaluation and tuning in ML surrogate models for physical systems.
