Deep neural networks possess strong representational capacity yet remain vulnerable to overfitting, primarily because neurons tend to co-adapt in ways that, while capturing complex and fine-grained feature interactions, also reinforce…
Normalization layers in neural operators usually compute statistics by uniformly averaging discrete grid values, making the normalization itself discretization-dependent and thereby a source of transfer error across different resolutions or…
