Core Concepts
The author argues that operator learning faces a curse of parametric complexity due to the limitations of neural networks in approximating operators between Banach spaces.
Abstract
The content discusses the curse of parametric complexity in operator learning, focusing on neural operator architectures like PCA-Net and DeepONet. It highlights the challenges faced due to high-dimensional approximation problems and provides insights into overcoming these issues.
Content includes discussions on neural network structures, approximation theory, and the implications of the curse of parametric complexity. Theorems and examples are used to illustrate the challenges faced in operator learning frameworks.
Key points include:
- Introduction to neural operator architectures for approximating operators.
- Analysis of computational complexity in neural network-based operator learning.
- Detailed examination of the curse of parametric complexity and its implications.
- Examples such as PCA-Net and DeepONet are provided to demonstrate practical applications.
The content emphasizes the need for additional structure beyond regularity to overcome the curse of parametric complexity in high-dimensional approximation problems.
Stats
The theorem states that size(Ψ) ≥ (2p + 2)^(-1)cmplx(S) for PCA-Net.
Lemma suggests that cmplx(Sǫ) ≥ exp(cǫ^(-1/(α+1+δ)r) according to Theorem 2.11.
Proposition indicates that size(Ψ) ≥ exp(cǫ^(-1/(α+1+δ)r) for PCA-Net based on Corollary 2.12.
