What the math gives to ML
The paper combines residual-based greedy reduced-basis construction, offline/online separation of a quadratic nonlocal operator, and constrained residual minimization in reduced coordinates. The transferable asset is the representation of a parameterized quadratic map as a small polynomial in latent coefficients with precomputed basis-pair interactions. This can produce compact quadratic latent operators for neural operators, graph simulators, and world models, while residual-greedy sampling can adaptively allocate expensive training data to difficult regions of parameter space. The strongest first experiments are on parametric PDE surrogates, where full-resolution interaction costs and repeated inverse-problem solves are measurable.

Construct a compact latent basis for a parameter-conditioned neural operator by repeatedly adding the parameter sample with the largest normalized prediction residual. This replaces uniform parameter coverage with adaptive basis growth and supplies a stopping rule for when the latent approximation is sufficiently accurate.

Replace repeated high-dimensional quadratic interactions in a neural operator or world model with a reduced latent quadratic map whose basis-pair interactions are precomputed offline. The online computation becomes a small polynomial in latent coefficients, preserving quadratic interaction structure while avoiding repeated full-resolution contractions.
