The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

The paper claims that quadratic manifolds—reduced-state spaces formed by a linear subspace plus a quadratic correction term—should be trained not only to reproduce snapshot data, but to make the downstream reduced model accurate. It proposes a greedy column-selection procedure whose objective combines the manifold's reconstruction error with the rollout prediction error of an operator-inference model, a low-dimensional quadratic dynamical system fitted to the encoded training trajectory. On a linear transport problem and a large-eddy simulation of flow around a wind turbine, the resulting reduced models achieve up to two orders of magnitude lower prediction error than manifolds trained on reconstruction error alone. The accompanying isotropic scaling of the basis, dividing each selected singular vector by its singular value, keeps reduced coordinates on a common scale and thereby avoids the oscillatory embeddings that reconstruction-only greedy training produces.

What carries the argument

The central mechanism is the operator-inference-aware greedy selection criterion used together with isotropic reduced coordinates. At each greedy step the next column of the reduced basis is chosen as the scaled left-singular vector $\phi^{(j)}_{\sigma^{-1}} = \phi^{(j)}/\sigma_j$ that minimizes $J'_{\mathrm{tot}}$, the manifold reconstruction error plus $\gamma_{\mathrm{op}}\|\Psi_I^\top - \hat{e}S\|_F^2$, the rollout error of an operator-inference model trained on the encoded trajectory. Division by $\sigma_j$ gives every reduced coordinate unit $\ell^2$ norm over the training snapshots, so no coordinate is dominated by scale, and the trajectory-level error then guides selection toward embeddings that remain stable under the fitted quadratic model. This combination is what prevents the oscillatory, non-smooth reduced coordinates that make reconstruction-only greedy manifolds hard to model.

What would settle it

A decisive check is to evaluate the method on a test set that is temporally separated from the training set by more than one time step (e.g., a later, non-interleaved time window), at matched reduced dimension, and see whether the operator-inference-aware greedy manifolds still outperform reconstruction-only greedy manifolds by the claimed margin; if the advantage shrinks or disappears, the training-rollout proxy is the weak link.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The central discovery is that the way a quadratic manifold embeds snapshot data determines how well a reduced dynamical model can be fitted to it, and this dependence can be exploited in training. The paper defines a greedy selection criterion $J'_{\mathrm{tot}}$ that scores each candidate singular vector by the sum of the manifold reconstruction error and a penalty proportional to the squared Frobenius distance between the encoded training trajectory and the trajectory predicted by an operator-inference model—a quadratic low-dimensional dynamical system—fitted to that encoding. Because the criterion penalizes trajectory-level rollout error rather than the one-step least-squares residual, it prefers embeddings that a first-order quadratic model can track over many time steps. Scaling the basis columns by the inverse singular values $\sigma_j^{-1}$ makes the reduced coordinates isotropic, so coordinates from later singular vectors are not tiny and fast-oscillating; this avoids the non-smooth embeddings that reconstruction-only greedy training can produce. On the transport and turbulent-flow test problems, this changes the reduced-model prediction error by up to two orders of magnitude.

Load-bearing premise

The method depends on the assumption that the operator-inference rollout error on the training trajectory is a faithful stand-in for prediction error on unseen data, an assumption that the turbulent-flow test (Section 4.2.1) weakens by placing test snapshots only one time step away from training snapshots.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • On the transport and turbulent-flow test sets, operator-inference models built on the proposed greedy quadratic manifolds achieve up to two orders of magnitude lower prediction error than manifolds trained on reconstruction error alone.
  • The greedy procedure avoids oscillatory reduced coordinates, so the fitted operator-inference models remain stable over the test horizon rather than producing divergent or artifact-ridden predictions.
  • The reconstruction error of the proposed manifolds stays comparable to reconstruction-only greedy manifolds, so the accuracy gain in predictions does not come at the cost of data fidelity.
  • Because the selection criterion is evaluated without differentiating through the time stepper, the greedy search has per-evaluation cost $O(r^3 k)$ and can reuse a precomputed singular value decomposition of the snapshot matrix.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • The same trajectory-rollout criterion could in principle be applied to other learned encoders and decoders, such as polynomial manifolds or autoencoders, wherever a downstream reduced dynamical model is fitted to the latent trajectory; the paper's argument is not tied to the specific quadratic feature map.
  • The turbulent-flow experiment interleaves test snapshots with training snapshots (odd versus even time indices), so the claimed gain on unseen data should be re-tested on a temporally disjoint window before generalizing it to longer forecasting horizons.
  • The isotropic-scaling step is separable from the greedy selection and could improve operator inference even with the leading-singular-vector basis whenever the singular values decay steeply.
  • The scalar $\gamma_{\mathrm{op}}$ controls the trade-off between reconstruction fidelity and model learnability; the experiments use fixed values (1.0 and $10^2$), so tuning it per problem is a natural next step.

Referee Report

4 major / 5 minor

Summary. The paper proposes a greedy training procedure for quadratic manifolds in nonintrusive model reduction. The key idea is to augment the reconstruction-error-based greedy selection of [11] with a term that measures the rollout error of an operator-inference model fit to the reduced trajectory, and to use isotropically scaled reduced coordinates. Numerical experiments on a linear transport problem and a large-eddy simulation of a wind-turbine flow demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves lower operator-inference test errors than the compared baselines, in some cases by up to two orders of magnitude.

Significance. If the central causal claim were established, this would be a useful advance: the greedy selection objective explicitly accounts for downstream model prediction error, which is a natural and potentially important idea for nonlinear nonintrusive model reduction. The paper is clearly written, discusses the computational complexity of the greedy objective, and includes a realistic wind-turbine test case. However, the current experimental evidence does not isolate the proposed selection criterion from the isotropic scaling, and the turbine experiment's train/test split is not a genuine temporal holdout. The ideas are promising and the issues appear addressable within the manuscript's scope.

major comments (4)
  1. [Section 3.2, Eq. (10)] The definition of the prediction-error term is inconsistent. The text states that the operator-inference model is trained once per greedy iteration on the reduced trajectory eS_{i-1}=f_{V^{σ^{-1}}_{i-1}}(S), which has dimension i−1, and that \hat{eS} is the corresponding prediction. Equation (10) then defines eS = f_{[V^{σ^{-1}},v]}(S), which has dimension i, so the Frobenius norm ||eS − \hat{eS}||_F is not well-defined. Equation (15) and the cost discussion in Section 3.3 imply that an operator-inference model is refit for the candidate-augmented trajectory, but this is not what Section 3.2 describes. This is central to the method and must be clarified.
  2. [Section 4, Figures 2–6] The proposed method differs from the 'QM, greedy [11]' baseline in two respects: it uses the isotropic scaling of Section 3.1 and the operator-inference-aware criterion of Eq. (10). No experiment is reported with isotropic scaling but with the prediction-error term disabled (γ_op=0), so the observed gains cannot be attributed to the new criterion; they may be due to scaling alone, which changes the conditioning of the operator-inference least-squares problem in Eq. (8). Please add an ablation with γ_op=0 and isotropic scaling to isolate the effect of the OI-aware criterion.
  3. [Section 4.2.1] The training and test sets for the turbine experiment are defined as S_train = [s(0),s(2),...,s(998)] and S_test = [s(1),s(3),...,s(999)], i.e., even-odd interleaving of the same trajectory with a 0.1 s time step. The test snapshots are thus one time step from training states and do not represent an unseen trajectory or a temporally disjoint test condition. A hold-out interval (e.g., early vs. late time) or a different inflow condition should be used to support the generalization claim.
  4. [Sections 4.1.2 and 4.2.2] The text says that for the operator-inference models 'we show results for the regularization parameters γA and γH with the lowest error.' If this selection is performed on the test set, the reported model prediction errors are optimistically biased. Please specify how these parameters were selected (e.g., using a separate validation set) and apply the same rule to all methods. In addition, γop is set to 1.0 (transport) and 10^2 (turbine) without a stated validation procedure; provide a selection rule or sensitivity analysis for these values.
minor comments (5)
  1. [Eq. (10)] The argument \tilde{v} in J_rec(\tilde{v}, V^{σ^{-1}}) is not defined; it should presumably be the candidate vector v.
  2. [Eq. (14) and Algorithm 1] Equation (14) defines W' ∈ R^{n×r(r+1)/2}, while Algorithm 1 and the surrounding text use W' ∈ R^{(k-i)×p}; the dimensions should be made consistent.
  3. [Figure 1] The caption uses 'relative model prediction error' without defining the normalization; please state the precise formula.
  4. [Section 4.1.1] The grid search for the reconstruction regularization parameter γ is described, but it is not stated whether γ is chosen on a training or validation set; this should be stated explicitly to avoid ambiguity.
  5. [Section 3.3] The complexity statement says the model prediction error costs O(r^3 k) per candidate; multiplying by q candidates and r iterations gives O(q r^4 k), which could be significant, and a brief discussion of this total cost would be helpful.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged · score 2.0 of 10

No circular derivation found: the greedy objective is a training criterion evaluated on the training trajectory, and the reported accuracy is measured on held-out test snapshots; self-citations are transparent and not load-bearing.

full rationale

The paper's derivation chain is not circular. The novel selection criterion in Eq. (10) minimizes a sum of the reconstruction error and the rollout error of an operator-inference model fitted to the current reduced training trajectory. This is a training loss, not a prediction: the final claims are evaluated on held-out snapshots via Eq. (18), so the loop is broken. The operator-inference model used in the criterion is fitted to training data only, and no parameter is fitted to the test error. The isotropic scaling of Section 3.1 is a reparameterization defined from the SVD of the training snapshots and is not defined in terms of the test target. The only self-citation of note is [11], the authors' prior greedy quadratic-manifold construction, which is used transparently as a baseline and as the starting point for the new criterion; the central claim does not reduce to any unverified assertion in [11]. The main internal-validity concern is experimental rather than circular: no ablation isolates the operator-inference-aware term from the isotropic scaling, and the turbulent-flow test snapshots are interleaved with training snapshots (even vs. odd time indices). These are design limitations that could affect whether the reported gains are attributable to the proposed criterion, but they are not instances of a result being equivalent to its inputs by construction.

Assumptions & free parameters 4 free parameters · 5 assumptions · 0 invented entities

No new physical entities or conserved quantities are introduced. The method relies on standard SVD, a quadratic feature map, and a linear-quadratic reduced model. The main additional burden is the reliance on training-rollout error as a selection signal and the undocumented choice of q and gamma_op.

free parameters (4)
  • gamma (reconstruction regularization) = grid search over {1e-6, 1e-4, 1e-2} for transport; {1e-4, 1e-3, 1e-2} for turbulent flow
    Appears in Eq. (5) for computing W; chosen by grid search without a stated validation split.
  • gamma_A and gamma_H (operator-inference regularization) = grid search over {1e-4, 1e-3, 1e-2, 1e-1}
    Appear in Eq. (8) when fitting the reduced linear-quadratic model; selected per experiment without a documented validation set.
  • gamma_op (prediction-error weight in greedy objective) = 1.0 for transport, 1e2 for turbulent flow
    Appears in Eq. (10) and Eq. (15); set to a fixed value per problem with no sensitivity analysis or systematic tuning protocol.
  • q (number of candidate singular vectors in greedy search) = not specified
    Algorithm 1 takes q as input but the experiments never state its value; the greedy selection and therefore the final manifold depend on this choice.
assumptions (5)
  • domain assumption The quadratic feature map h, the condensed Kronecker product, is a sufficient nonlinearity for the decoder.
    Adopted from prior work [46, 48] in Section 2.1, Eq. (3); no derivation or justification beyond precedent.
  • domain assumption The reduced dynamics can be represented by a first-order linear-quadratic model of the form A e + H h(e).
    Central to operator inference in Section 2.3, Eq. (9); the paper relies on test error to justify this for the given problems.
  • standard math The snapshot matrix has full column rank so that the right singular vectors are orthonormal rows of unit norm, making the isotropic scaling well-defined.
    Section 3.1 uses the inverse singular values and assumes the scaled reduced coordinates have unit row norms; this holds if Psi is square orthogonal, which requires full column rank of S.
  • domain assumption The operator-inference rollout error on the training trajectory is a reliable proxy for prediction error on unseen data.
    Used in Eq. (10) as the selection criterion; the paper does not analyze overfitting or validate on a separate trajectory during selection.
  • ad hoc to paper The candidate pool of the first q singular vectors is sufficient to contain a good basis for the reduced manifold.
    The greedy search in Algorithm 1 is restricted to q candidates, but q is never specified or justified in the experiments.

Quadratic manifolds for nonintrusive reduced modeling are typically trained to minimize the reconstruction error on snapshot data, which means that the error of models fitted to the embedded data in downstream learning steps is ignored. In contrast, we propose a greedy training procedure that takes into account both the reconstruction error on the snapshot data and the prediction error of reduced models fitted to the data. Because our procedure learns quadratic manifolds with the objective of achieving accurate reduced models, it avoids oscillatory and other non-smooth embeddings that can hinder learning accurate reduced models. Numerical experiments on transport and turbulent flow problems show that quadratic manifolds trained with the proposed greedy approach lead to reduced models with up to two orders of magnitude higher accuracy than quadratic manifolds trained with respect to the reconstruction error alone.
