A Diagnostic Software Suite for Auditing Learned PDE Simulators (opens in new tab)

Learned PDE simulators are increasingly used as low-cost replacements for expensive numerical solvers, but standard relative $L^2$ error does not determine whether a learned model behaves as a coherent numerical time propagator. This paper presents a diagnostic software suite for auditing learned PDE simulators as approximate evolution operators. The suite provides architecture-independent, post hoc diagnostics for relative state error, semigrou...
