Gaussian process tomography (GPT) is a method used for obtaining real-time tomographic reconstructions of the plasma emissivity profile in a tokamak, given some model for the underlying physical processes involved. GPT can also be used, thanks to Bayesian formalism, to perform model selection -- i.e., comparing different models and choosing the one with maximum evidence. However, the computations involved in this particular step may become slow for data with high dimensionality, especially when comparing the evidence for many different models. Using measurements collected by the ASDEX Upgrade Soft X-ray (SXR) diagnostic, we train a convolutional neural network (CNN) to map SXR tomographic projections to the corresponding GPT model whose evidence is highest. We then compare the networks results, and the time required to calculate them, with those obtained through analytical Bayesian formalism. In addition, we use the networks classifications to produce tomographic reconstructions of the plasma emissivity profile, whose quality we evaluate by comparing their projection into measurement space with the existing measurements themselves.

Automatized object identification and feature analysis of experimental image data are indispensable for data-driven material science; deep-learning-based segmentation algorithms have been shown to be a promising technique to achieve this goal. However, acquiring high-resolution experimental images and assigning labels in order to train such algorithms is challenging and costly in terms of both time and labor. In the present work, we apply synthetic images, which resemble the experimental image data in terms of geometrical and visual features, to train state-of-art deep learning-based Mask R-CNN algorithms to segment vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanowires, a canonical cathode material, within optical intensity-based images from spectromicroscopy. The performance evaluation demonstrates that even though the deep learning model is trained on pure synthetically generated structures, it can segment real optical intensity-based spectromicroscopy images of complex V2O5 nanowire structures in overlapped particle networks, thus providing reliable statistical information. The model can further be used to segment nanowires in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, which are fundamentally different from the training dataset known to the model. The proposed methodology of using a purely synthetic dataset to train the deep learning model can be extended to any optical intensity-based images of variable particle morphology, extent of agglomeration, material class, and beyond.
Muons are the most abundant charged particles arriving at sea level originating from the decay of secondary charged pions and kaons. These secondary particles are created when high-energy cosmic rays hit the atmosphere interacting with air nuclei initiating cascades of secondary particles which led to the formation of extensive air showers (EAS). They carry essential information about the extra-terrestrial events and are characterized by large flux and varying angular distribution. To account for open questions and the origin of cosmic rays, one needs to study various components of cosmic rays with energy and arriving direction. Because of the close relation between muon and neutrino production, it is the most important particle to keep track of. We propose a novel tracking algorithm based on the Geometric Deep Learning approach using graphical structure to incorporate domain knowledge to track cosmic ray muons in our 3-D scintillator detector. The detector is modeled using the GEANT4 simulation package and EAS is simulated using CORSIKA (COsmic Ray SImulations for KAscade) with a focus on muons originating from EAS. We shed some light on the performance, robustness towards noise and double hits, limitations, and application of the proposed algorithm in tracking applications with the possibility to generalize to other detectors for astrophysical and collider experiments.
Pions constitute nearly $70%$ of final state particles in ultra high energy collisions. They act as a probe to understand the statistical properties of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) matter i.e. Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in such relativistic heavy ion collisions (HIC). Apart from this, direct photons are the most versatile tools to study relativistic HIC. They are produced, by various mechanisms, during the entire space-time history of the strongly interacting system. Direct photons provide measure of jet-quenching when compared with other quark or gluon jets. The $pi^{0}$ decay into two photons make the identification of non-correlated gamma coming from another process cumbersome in the Electromagnetic Calorimeter. We investigate the use of deep learning architecture for reconstruction and identification of single as well as multi particles showers produced in calorimeter by particles created in high energy collisions. We utilize the data of electromagnetic shower at calorimeter cell-level to train the network and show improvements for identification and characterization. These networks are fast and computationally inexpensive for particle shower identification and reconstruction for current and future experiments at particle colliders.
We present a simulation-based study using deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) to identify neutrino interaction vertices in the MINERvA passive targets region, and illustrate the application of domain adversarial neural networks (DANNs) in this context. DANNs are designed to be trained in one domain (simulated data) but tested in a second domain (physics data) and utilize unlabeled data from the second domain so that during training only features which are unable to discriminate between the domains are promoted. MINERvA is a neutrino-nucleus scattering experiment using the NuMI beamline at Fermilab. $A$-dependent cross sections are an important part of the physics program, and these measurements require vertex finding in complicated events. To illustrate the impact of the DANN we used a modified set of simulation in place of physics data during the training of the DANN and then used the label of the modified simulation during the evaluation of the DANN. We find that deep learning based methods offer significant advantages over our prior track-based reconstruction for the task of vertex finding, and that DANNs are able to improve the performance of deep networks by leveraging available unlabeled data and by mitigating network performance degradation rooted in biases in the physics models used for training.
Data mining is routinely used to organize ensembles of short temporal observations so as to reconstruct useful, low-dimensional realizations of an underlying dynamical system. In this paper, we use manifold learning to organize unstructured ensembles of observations (trials) of a systems response surface. We have no control over where every trial starts; and during each trial operating conditions are varied by turning agnostic knobs, which change system parameters in a systematic but unknown way. As one (or more) knobs turn we record (possibly partial) observations of the system response. We demonstrate how such partial and disorganized observation ensembles can be integrated into coherent response surfaces whose dimension and parametrization can be systematically recovered in a data-driven fashion. The approach can be justified through the Whitney and Takens embedding theorems, allowing reconstruction of manifolds/attractors through different types of observations. We demonstrate our approach by organizing unstructured observations of response surfaces, including the reconstruction of a cusp bifurcation surface for Hydrogen combustion in a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor. Finally, we demonstrate how this observation-based reconstruction naturally leads to informative transport maps between input parameter space and output/state variable spaces.
