New Optimizer Accelerates LLM Pretraining with Curvature-Conditioned Momentum
This research proposes a curvature-conditioned multiscale momentum method with sphere constraints to accelerate large language model pretraining. It addresses challenges from noise-dominant gradients and ill-conditioned loss landscapes by enhancing progress along flat directions, significantly improving upon existing adaptive optimizers like AdamW and Muon.
Euclidean Fourier Neural Operators Enhance Domain Transferability
This paper introduces Euclidean Fourier Neural Operators (EFNOs) as a domain-independent alternative to traditional FNOs, addressing their limitation in transferring across different periodic domains. EFNOs achieve this by parameterizing the spectral kernel as a continuous function of the physical wavevector, enabling consistent operator learning across varying domain shapes and sizes.
