I am glad to share that the recent Nature Machine Intelligence Editorial, “Solutions, challenges and rising tensions in AI and mathematics,” explicitly highlights my accompanying invited News & Views article, “Neural operators for free-boundary problems.”
🧠 The editorial discusses how artificial intelligence is increasingly interacting with mathematics, creating new opportunities while also raising important scientific and conceptual challenges. In referring to my contribution, it emphasizes the importance of incorporating new mathematical theories to deal with challening real-world problems with sharp, potentially irreversible (catastrophic) transitions, such as glacial ice melting under climate change and tumour growth during cancer therapy.
🧮 In the invited News & Views, I discuss how the mathematical principle of topological conjugacy can extend neural operators to free-boundary problems, in which both the solution and the geometry of the domain evolve over time.
🔗 This perspective also connects naturally with our recently published research article in Nature Machine Intelligence, “Enabling local neural operators to perform equation-free system-level analysis,” presented in an earlier post. Developed in collaboration with Gianluca Fabiani, Hannes Vandecasteele, Somdatta Goswami and Ioannis Kevrekidis from The Johns Hopkins University , the work combines local neural operators with equation-free methods, Newton–Krylov solvers, Arnoldi algorithms and numerical continuation to perform stability and bifurcation analysis of complex and multiscale systems directly from sparse spatiotemporal data.
🌐 Together, these contributions reflect an increasingly important research direction: combining artificial intelligence, mathematical analysis and advanced numerical methods to develop reliable scientific machine-learning tools to deal with real-world complex systems and their emergent dynamics.
