Fourier Neural Operators struggle with resolution generalization

A new research paper explores the limitations of Fourier Neural Operators (FNOs) in generalizing across different spatial resolutions. The study found that directly inferring on a finer grid does not always improve performance and can sometimes be worse than upsampling a lower-resolution prediction. This phenomenon is attributed to intermediate representations concentrating energy in low frequencies, with high-frequency output primarily generated in later stages, suggesting nonlinear aliasing is a significant barrier to zero-shot resolution equivariance in FNOs.

    Limits of Resolution Equivariance in Fourier Neural Operators

    arXiv:2606.00677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fourier Neural Operators are often assumed to generalize across spatial resolutions, enabling training on a coarse grid and deployment on a finer grid. We test this assumption by contrasting two inference-time choices when moving fr…
