contents Solving inverse problems in physics is central to understanding complex systems and advancing technologies in various fields. Iterative optimization algorithms, commonly used to solve these problems, often encounter local minima, chaos, or regions with zero gradients. This is due to their overreliance on local information and highly chaotic inverse loss landscapes governed by underlying partial differential equations (PDEs). In this work, we show that deep neural networks successfully replicate such complex loss landscapes through spatio-temporal trajectory inputs. They also offer the potential to control the underlying complexity of these chaotic loss landscapes during training through various regularization methods. We show that optimizing on network-smoothened loss landscapes leads to improved convergence in predicting optimum inverse parameters over conventional momentum-based optimizers such as BFGS on multiple challenging problems.
