Solver-Integrated Adversarial Attacking and Training of Neural Operators
The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
Core claim
The central claim is that adversarial robustness and generalization of neural operators should be evaluated against the true solver, not a fixed or surrogate ground truth. Defining the loss as the squared model-solver error, ℓ(a)=‖G(a)−g(a)‖², the gradient involves the difference of Jacobians, 2(J_G(a)−J_g(a))ᵀ(G(a)−g(a)). Omitting the solver Jacobian (detached) or replacing the solver with a nearest-neighbor dictionary proxy can underestimate or mislead attacks, especially in 2D Navier–Stokes, where later solver frames carry most of the information. The paper claims that the solver-integrated attack finds larger final losses and more informative perturbed inputs, and that adversarial traini
What carries the argument
The carrying object is the model-solver error operator with its Fréchet derivative: ℓ(a)=‖G(a)−g(a)‖², whose gradient is 2(J_G−J_g)ᵀ(G−g). Three gradient modes are compared: full backpropagation through both the operator and the solver ('with solver'), detachment of the solver, and a dictionary proxy for the solver. The attack is projected gradient descent in an L2 ball with Adam-style updates, a 10-step cap, and adaptive time-stepping to handle solver blow-up. For the 2D periodic Navier–Stokes case, a soft-DTW loss—a differentiable alignment loss—is used so that pure spatial translations of the solution are not counted as large errors. The neural operators studied are Fourier Neural Operato
Load-bearing premise
Backpropagating through thousands of solver time steps yields gradients that reliably locate worst-case inputs, and the solver's output for those perturbed inputs is accurate enough to serve as ground truth; if long-horizon solver gradients are unstable or uninformative, the claimed advantage of the with-solver attack and the value of its selected samples collapse.
What would settle it
Compute finite-difference directional derivatives of the solver loss at several PGD iterates; if the backpropagated gradient's sign or magnitude disagrees with the finite-difference estimate on a nontrivial fraction of inputs, the with-solver attack is not actually finding worst-case inputs. Alternatively, on a PDE with a computable or enumerable worst-case perturbation, check whether the with-solver attack attains higher true loss than detached or random perturbations of the same norm.
If this is right
- Robustness evaluations that freeze the solver's ground truth can overstate a neural operator's robustness, because the true solver output shifts with the input.
- Solver-selected adversarial samples can act as automatic active-learning data: retraining on them, round by round, reduces out-of-distribution errors for most tested ranges and kernels relative to vanilla training.
- The formulation extends to any regression setting with a differentiable ground-truth oracle, so the method is not tied to PDEs.
- Averaged adversarial perturbations in the Navier–Stokes experiments reflect the external forcing of the system, and become random fields without forcing, suggesting the attack tracks physically meaningful sensitivity.
- Batch-by-batch adversarial training and random-constant augmentation can worsen in-distribution train/test loss, so the training strategy—not just the attack—determines whether the method helps.
Where Pith is reading between the lines
- The with-solver attack could serve as a probe for which input-space directions a surrogate model gets wrong; the forcing-alignment observation suggests these directions correspond to physically meaningful sensitivities rather than arbitrary noise.
- The large cost of backpropagating through all solver time steps motivates checkpointed, implicit, or adjoint differentiation of the solver; if long-horizon gradients are unstable, hybrid attacks combining finite-difference and backpropagated information may be needed.
- In near-linear regimes, detached and with-solver gradients may nearly coincide, so the practical advantage of full solver backpropagation is most likely to appear in strongly nonlinear, sensitive dynamics—this could be tested as a cheaper diagnostic.
- Random-constant augmentation helped range-shifted inputs but not kernel-shifted ones; combining random augmentation with solver-selected adversarial samples might yield a training distribution with both broad support and hard-case focus.

A structured set of objections, weighed in public.
Referee Report
Summary. The manuscript (full-text title "Towards Universal Solvers: Using PGD Attack in Active Learning to Increase Generalizability of Neural Operators as Knowledge Distillation from Numerical PDE Solvers") proposes a PGD-style attack in which the attack loss is computed against a differentiable PDE solver (Exponax) and gradients are backpropagated through both the neural operator and all solver time steps. It compares this "with-solver" attack with a detached-solver variant and a dictionary-approximated variant on 1D Burgers and 2D Navier-Stokes, reporting that the with-solver attack gives faster and larger loss increases. It then presents two retraining schemes (round-by-round active learning and batch-by-batch adversarial training) plus a random-constant augmentation baseline, and reports that round-by-round retraining, especially at round 6, reduces OOD test error on many but not all shifted datasets, while the other two schemes hurt in-distribution performance. The paper also includes extensive appendices on spectral GRF generation and pseudo-spectral solvers.
Significance. If the central empirical claim is correct, the differentiable-solver PGD attack offers a concrete way to mine worst-case samples for neural operators and to use them in active learning, potentially improving OOD robustness. The paper should be credited for: (i) clearly distinguishing with-solver, detached, and dictionary-approximated attack gradients; (ii) reporting timing/memory breakdowns (Tables 1-3); (iii) documenting a falsifiable observation that adversarial perturbations reflect the Navier-Stokes external forcing; and (iv) making explicit that relative FNO loss can mask larger absolute errors. These are useful contributions. However, the manuscript currently resembles an extended technical report: the formalization advertised in the abstract is absent, the training evaluation is statistically thin, and the key gradient-fidelity assumption is unchecked. The contribution is promising but not yet established.
major comments (4)
- [Title/Abstract vs. Methods] The arXiv abstract claims the paper "formalizes the definition of generalization and robustness through a model-solver error operator" and identifies norm-bounded attack-loss increase and Jacobian-error function norm as robustness metrics. The full text contains no such formalization: no model-solver error operator is defined, and no theorem or definition links the proposed MSE loss to the claimed generalization/robustness metrics. The Methods section defines Fréchet derivatives and batch derivatives (the equations for ℓ(a)) but never uses them to state the advertised formal definitions. Since the abstract's formalization is a central advertised contribution, this unbacked claim must either be removed or actually provided in a revision.
- [Adversarial Training Using Above PGD Attack] The central training claim is not supported by the reported numbers. The text says batch-by-batch and random-constant training "cause greater loss in the original train and test datasets," and that round-by-round achieves lower loss for "nearly all datasets except range (-1.5,-1)" only at the 6th round; it also says results "increase the loss of many datasets while decrease the loss of others." Figure 5 is a single loss-change plot with no numerical values, no error bars, no multiple seeds, and no statistical tests. Moreover, batch-by-batch training is forced to batch size 2 while the original FNO training uses batch size 20, confounding the comparison. The conclusion that solver-integrated adversarial training "clearly improves both generalizability and robustness" is therefore overstated and requires quantitative tables and repeated-run statistics.
- [Challenges in the Above PGD Attack] The with-solver attack's advantage rests on gradients backpropagated through all ~4000 solver time steps (Tables 1-3). The paper does not validate the fidelity of these gradients. It concedes the need for adaptive time-step shrinking, a 10-step limit, and fallback to the last non-blow-up input. Without a check against a non-gradient search (e.g., random or coordinate ascent within the same ε-ball) or a finite-difference verification on a reduced problem, the larger attack losses in Figures 17-36 and the samples selected for round-by-round training may reflect numerical artifacts of the unrolled solver Jacobian rather than true worst-case model-solver discrepancy. This is load-bearing for the with-solver advantage and for active-sample selection.
- [Experiments and Evaluation] The empirical evaluation is too thin to support the strong claims. OOD results are reported as plots (Figures 1-2) without dataset sizes, confidence intervals, or repeated training; the qualitative claim that value range dominates is not quantified or compared against kernel-type effects. No code or data release is mentioned, and the model/training hyperparameters for FNO, DeepONet, and Exponax are not specified. The paper's own text notes that attacks on NS require 30-50 GB memory and only batch size 7 fits, yet the effect of these constraints on results is not discussed. In addition, the OOD evaluation uses the same model-solver RMSE/MSE that the training objective optimizes; alternative metrics (e.g., spectral errors or physics-based invariants) are not reported, so it is unclear how much of the improvement is specific to the chosen metric.
minor comments (5)
- [Title/Abstract] The arXiv abstract (with the "Solver-Integrated..." title) and the full-text title/abstract differ substantially. Please reconcile the two and ensure the abstract claims match the content.
- [References] The reference list contains duplicates and incomplete entries: [39] and [40] are the same paper; [9]/[10] are both Soft-DTW; [47]/[48] are both Madry et al.; several entries are incomplete (e.g., "Kong" et al., "et al." placeholders).
- [Algorithm 1] The note "Normalizing d(step 4)" in Algorithm 1 is incorrect; normalization occurs in step 14. The L2 PGD pseudocode and Algorithm 1 also duplicate but differ in Adam details; unify them.
- [Notation and typos] There are numerous typos and inconsistent notations, e.g., "Orzsag" (should be Orszag), "V orticity-Streamfucntion F ormulation", "negand" / "All pos", and inconsistent naming of norms ("norm=2" vs. L2). These should be cleaned up.
- [Figures] Many figure captions omit units or full parameter settings (e.g., Figures 17-36), and several figures lack error bars or repeated-run information. The appendix is also very long and contains tutorial material that could be condensed or moved to supplementary material.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: the solver is an external oracle and the OOD generalization benchmarks are held out from the training objective.
full rationale
The derivation chain is not circular in the sense that matters here. The adversarial objective and all reported losses are computed against solver outputs g(a) produced by Exponax, an external numerical solver; the learned neural operator is trained to match that solver, and no fitted parameter is later renamed as a prediction. The paper defines generalization as fixed-input model-solver loss, but the OOD test sets use different initial-condition distributions (different GRF kernels, correlation lengths, value ranges) that are not inputs to the minimax objective. Thus the round-by-round improvements on those held-out distributions are not forced by construction. The with-solver attack naturally maximizes the exact loss used to evaluate it, so its larger final attack loss is partly an expected property of first-order optimization rather than an independent discovery; however, this is not a fitted-input-called-prediction circularity, and the central OOD generalization claim does not reduce to this. The acknowledged numerical fragility of backpropagating through roughly 4000 solver timesteps ('The gradient has to be back propagated through all 4000 layers', Challenges section) is a real validation limitation for the method's effectiveness, but it is a correctness/robustness risk, not a circular step. There are no load-bearing self-citations and no imported uniqueness theorems from the authors' own prior work.

read the original abstract
Neural operators are widely used as fast surrogates for numerical PDE solvers, mapping input functions to solution functions. However, their generalizability and robustness are not yet clearly defined in the operator-learning setting, which differs from traditional adversarial robustness definitions. This paper studies the generalizability and robustness of a learned neural operator from a solver-integrated perspective, addressing the challenge that the output of a learned operator and a numerical solver tends to change in tandem under input perturbation. First, we formalize the definition of generalization and robustness through a model-solver error operator, identifying fixed-input model-solver loss as generalization metric, and norm-bounded adversarial attack loss increase and Jacobian-error function norm as robustness metric. Second, we identify the solver-integrated adversarial attack as appropriate for PDE operator learning and show why model-only or fixed-ground-truth attacks can be insufficient when the solver output also changes with the input. Third, we develop solver-integrated adversarial training methods for neural operators. Experiments on representative PDE benchmarks show that this solver-integrated adversarial training clearly improves both generalizability and robustness. Deeper solver integration yields more effective attacks, more informative samples, and more efficient training than less integrated alternatives. These results provide a general framework for robust operator training and automatic sample selection without heavy manual intervention. More broadly, the formulation applies to adversarial regression whenever a ground-truth oracle can evaluate, and ideally differentiate, the true input-output map; PDE operator learning is one such case.
