Emergent Transfer of a Physics Foundation Model from Simulation to Laboratory Turbulence

Payel Mukhopadhyay, Stefan S. Nixon, Romain Watteaux +20

Whether physics foundation models can be usefully deployed on laboratory experiments remains an open question for scientific machine learning (ML). We test this question on the Ray…

MIMIC: A Generative Multimodal Foundation Model for Biomolecules

Siavash Golkar, Jake Kovalic, Irina Espejo Morales +28

Biological function emerges from coupled constraints across sequence, structure, regulation, evolution, and cellular context, yet most foundation models in biology are trained with…

Representation Learning for Spatiotemporal Physical Systems

Helen Qu, Rudy Morel, Michael McCabe +4

Machine learning approaches to spatiotemporal physical systems have primarily focused on next-frame prediction, with the goal of learning an accurate emulator for the system's evol…

On the Value of Tokeniser Pretraining in Physics Foundation Models

Hadi Sotoudeh, Payel Mukhopadhyay, Ruben Ohana +4

We investigate the impact of tokeniser pretraining on the accuracy and efficiency of physics emulation. Modern high-resolution simulations produce vast volumes of data spanning div…

Overtone: Cyclic Patch Modulation for Clean, Efficient, and Flexible Physics Emulators

Payel Mukhopadhyay, Michael McCabe, Ruben Ohana +1

Transformer-based PDE surrogates achieve remarkable performance but face two key challenges: fixed patch sizes cause systematic error accumulation at harmonic frequencies, and comp…
