WaveBench: Benchmark Datasets for Linear Wave Propagation PDEs

Wave-based imaging techniques play a critical role in diverse scientific, medical, and industrial endeavors, from discovering hidden structures beneath the Earth's surface to ultrasound diagnostics. They rely on accurate solutions to the forward and inverse problems for partial differential equations (PDEs) that govern wave propagation. Surrogate PDE solvers based on machine learning emerged as an effective approach to computing the solutions more efficiently than via classical numerical schemes. Our dataset, WaveBench, is a collection of benchmark datasets for wave propagation PDEs. Our code is available at https://github.com/wavebench/wavebench/.
