The Neural Compiler: Program-to-Network Translation for Hybrid Scientific Machine Learning

Scientific machine learning often requires combining known physics with unknown parameters or correction terms learned from data. Existing approaches either ignore known structure, encode it as a soft penalty, or require hand-written PyTorch code for each equation. We present The Neural Compiler, a system that translates programs written in a first-order Scheme-like expression language into frozen, differentiable PyTorch modules. These modules match the source program to floating-point precision and provide gradients through autograd. In hybrid models, the compiled module encodes known physics exactly while learned components model the unknown remainder. We evaluate the compiler across si...
