Differentiable Solver

Differentiable solvers integrate numerical methods with machine learning, aiming to improve the efficiency and accuracy of solving complex mathematical problems, particularly those involving partial differential equations or combinatorial optimization. Current research focuses on developing differentiable versions of existing solvers (e.g., for quadratic programming, RANSAC, and linear assignment problems), employing neural networks (including Bayesian and convolutional architectures) to approximate solutions or learn optimal parameters, and using gradient-based optimization techniques for training and refinement. This approach holds significant promise for accelerating scientific computing across diverse fields, from fluid dynamics and climate modeling to robotics and computer vision, by enabling efficient integration of physical constraints and data-driven learning within established numerical frameworks.
