Abstract

Generative models often represent signals as dense grids of amplitudes, blurring sharp transients that are crucial for the correctness of physical signals. We introduce Singularity Space, a generative framework that represents signals through complex-plane singularities, rooted in the classical pole-residue representation of meromorphic functions. We learn a latent space of physically constrained, per-signal singularity configurations to solve an inverse problem from degraded or partial observations. The framework has three key properties: interpretability, in which each generated singularity configuration corresponds to a set of physical parameters; structural stability, which mitigates Gibbs artifacts at discontinuities; and resolution-free output reconstruction on arbitrary grids without retraining or interpolation. Our framework employs a transformer-based diffusion model that directly predicts samples at complex-plane singularity coordinates, subject to geometric constraints during sampling. As a controlled test case for sharp-feature recovery, we evaluate our framework on 1D Burgers shocks, where each shock is represented by 32 predicted singularities (an 8×8\times reduction versus a 1024-point grid signal). Our framework preserves signal structure (TV ratio≈1\text{TV ratio} \approx 1) under unseen test-time observation noise, achieves a 4.2×4.2\times lower reconstruction error in zero-shot sub-resolution generalization than a grid-based baseline, and recovers physical parameters to 10−410^{-4} absolute error in-distribution. These results suggest that singularity-based representations may provide a practical foundation for other transient-dominated signals such as speech and biomedical signals, with potential extension to higher-dimensional domains.

SE-UNet: Singular Equivariant Imaging for Real-World Constrained Generation

While diffusion models have revolutionized image synthesis, their application to real-world inverse problems is often hampered by the need for massive datasets and the difficulty of imposing strict physical constraints. In this work, we introduce \textbf{SE-UNet} (Singular Equivariant UNet), a framework designed to solve ill-posed imaging tasks without extensive pre-training. By treating generation as an optimization problem constrained by geometric equivariance (D4D_4 group) and singular value gating, SE-UNet effectively standardizes the solution space. We demonstrate that these strong inductive biases allow for state-of-the-art zero-shot inpainting results (80% missing pixels) on CIFAR-10. Our method surpasses Deep Image Prior (DIP) baselines by over 4 dB in PSNR and exhibits a characteristic "singular snap" convergence -- rapidly locking into the signal manifold. SE-UNet thus offers a data-efficient pathway for constrained generation, aligning with the ReALM-GEN goal of bridging theoretical priors with practical deployment.

Physics-Informed Generative Solver: Bridging Data-Driven Priors and Conservation Laws for Stable Spatiotemporal Field Reconstruction

Reconstructing continuous physical fields from sparse measurements is a central inverse problem, but data-driven generative models can produce states that violate governing dynamics. We introduce a physics-informed generative solver that separates stable prior learning from inference-time enforcement of conservation laws. Martingale-Regularized Score Matching regularizes score pretraining with a Score Fokker-Planck constraint, yielding a dynamically stable prior. Physics-Informed Implicit Score Sampling then guides denoising trajectories by gradients of physical residuals, projecting samples toward admissible manifolds without retraining. In acoustics, the method co-generates pressure and particle velocity from sparse sensors, enabling dense virtual arrays that suppress spatial aliasing. The same framework generalizes to real-world ERA5 meteorological fields under extreme sparsity. Together, this work establishes a rigorous and generalizable paradigm for solving high-dimensional inverse problems, bridging the gap between generative artificial intelligence and first-principles science.

Learning Interpretable PDE Representations for Generative Reconstructions with Structured Sparsity

Scientific measurements are often bottlenecked by suboptimal conditions, whether that be noise, incomplete spatial coverage, or limited resolution, rendering accurate field reconstruction a difficult task. We introduce LatentPDE, a latent diffusion framework designed to simultaneously resolve sparse-observation reconstruction and super-resolution. While existing physics-guided diffusion models typically rely on soft loss penalties or uninterpretable representations, our approach enforces physical compliance by constructing an inherently interpretable latent space. Specifically, we parameterize the latent variables directly as the coefficients and source terms of an assumed governing PDE. In doing so, LatentPDE is able to reliably reconstruct dynamics across highly disparate and structured data gaps. Empirical results on diverse configurations demonstrate that our model achieves high-fidelity recovery at any desired resolution while also tracking the underlying predictive uncertainty.
