No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) are trained by optimising a composite objective that combines data fitting with physics-based constraints, typically resulting in a highly imbalanced multi-task optimisation problem. Under these conditions, existing optimisation strategies are affected by conflicting task gradients, leading to slow convergence and unstable training, particularly for stiff and high-frequency partial differential equations. We analyse gradient conflicts throughout training of PINNs with standard optimiser and investigate Multi-Task Deep Learning (MTDL) optimisation methods. In our analysis across four benchmark problems we observed that PINN optimisation exhibits three distinct phases in which angle- and magnitude-based gradient conflicts alternate, with only one present at a time. Building on these observations, we propose PAM-GS, a physics-aware gradient surgery method that adaptively mitigates task interference during training according to the observed conflict types. Experiments on four representative PDE benchmarks demonstrate that PAM-GS combines competitive solution accuracy with consistently strong task-balanced performance, outperforming existing methods on most problems.
