Large-scale three dimensional vehicle aerodynamics prediction poses critical computational challenges in modern automotive design, where traditional CFD methods require prohibitive simulation times that conflict with rapid design iteration demands. While recent neural operator approaches show promise, existing methods struggle with computational complexity in dense meshes and fail to preserve essential topological information when processing large-scale point clouds. We propose FCMO, a physics-aware neural operator that integrates fluid mechanics principles with selective state space modeling for efficient large-scale vehicle aerodynamics. FCMO introduces four synergistic components: FlowCurv Anchor Sampling that intelligently selects mesh nodes based on normalized local curvature and windward sensitivity. Additionally, dual-scale physics-aware position encoding with adaptive k-NN construction transforms 3D irregular meshes into causality-preserving sequences through feature-guided serpentine scanning. The model integrates a flow-aware Mamba processor incorporating selective mechanisms that dynamically modulate state transitions based on wall distance and flow characteristics. Finally, a physics-constrained decoder enforces conservation laws through mixed weighted interpolation. Extensive experiments on Ahmed-Body and DrivAerNet benchmarks demonstrate that FCMO achieves consistent state-of-the-art performance with 5.2% improvement in surface pressure prediction, 9.3% enhancement in wall shear stress estimation, and 11.4% boost in drag coefficient accuracy, while maintaining superior computational efficiency with 9.4% fewer FLOPs and 9.9% reduced memory usage compared to existing methods.

Distributed training of large deep neural networks requires frequent exchange of massive data between machines, thus communication efficiency is a major concern. Existing compressed communication methods are either not compatible with large batch optimization algorithms, or do not provide sufficient speedup in large scale. In this paper, we combine sparsification-based gradient compression with the layer-wise adaptive moments optimizer for large batch training (LAMB). We propose SLAMB, a novel communication-efficient optimizer that supports large batch sizes and scales to thousands of GPUs. SLAMB employs momentum masking, local error compensation, and element-wise adaptive rescaling to achieve accurate layer-wise weight updates, which translates to fast convergence for very large batches. Our empirical results show that, compared to the state-of-the-art, SLAMB transmits half the amount of data in large-batch BERT pre-training, without sacrificing accuracy. Moreover, SLAMB achieves excellent scalability in large computing infrastructures. For instance, SLAMB with 128 GPUs reduces the training time of Swin Transformer pre-training on ImageNet to 5. 35 hours, which is 2 hours faster than the state-of-the-art. At the extreme, we trained BERT-XL (2. 8B parameters) on 1, 024 NVIDIA A100 GPUs, where SLAMB achieved 90% scaling efficiency.

Contrastive Learning from Pairwise Measurements

Learning from pairwise measurements naturally arises from many applications, such as rank aggregation, ordinal embedding, and crowdsourcing. However, most existing models and algorithms are susceptible to potential model misspecification. In this paper, we study a semiparametric model where the pairwise measurements follow a natural exponential family distribution with an unknown base measure. Such a semiparametric model includes various popular parametric models, such as the Bradley-Terry-Luce model and the paired cardinal model, as special cases. To estimate this semiparametric model without specifying the base measure, we propose a data augmentation technique to create virtual examples, which enables us to define a contrastive estimator. In particular, we prove that such a contrastive estimator is invariant to model misspecification within the natural exponential family, and moreover, attains the optimal statistical rate of convergence up to a logarithmic factor. We provide numerical experiments to corroborate our theory.

On A Nonlinear Generalization of Sparse Coding and Dictionary Learning

Jeffrey Ho

Baba C. Vemuri

Existing dictionary learning algorithms are based on the assumption that the data are vectors in an Euclidean vector space, and the dictionary is learned from the training data using the vector space structure and its Euclidean metric. However, in many applications, features and data often originated from a Riemannian manifold that does not support a global linear (vector space) structure. Furthermore, the extrinsic viewpoint of existing dictionary learning algorithms becomes inappropriate for modeling and incorporating the intrinsic geometry of the manifold that is potentially important and critical to the application. This paper proposes a novel framework for sparse coding and dictionary learning for data on a Riemannian manifold, and it shows that the existing sparse coding and dictionary learning methods can be considered as special (Euclidean) cases of the more general framework proposed here. We show that both the dictionary and sparse coding can be effectively computed for several important classes of Riemannian manifolds, and we validate the proposed method using two well-known classification problems in computer vision and medical imaging analysis.
