Example on how to (intelligently) augment the nuclear-data pipeline with machine learning [Slides]

Conference Neudecker, Denise

The presentation discusses how machine learning has helped the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) nuclear-data pipeline. It also discusses the strengths of machine learning as it finds trends in large amounts of data where human brains are overwhelmed and that this information may be crucial to improve our nuclear data. It does stress, however, that machine learning is no "silver bullet" and that it is critical to feed it expert knowledge and use physics intuition to interpret the results. The presentation discusses the need to develop infrastructure and tools to provide data in an easily readable and unambiguously interpretable formatmore »« less

Machine learning in a data-limited regime: Augmenting experiments with synthetic data uncovers order in crumpled sheets

Journal Article Hoffmann, Jordan ; Bar-Sinai, Yohai ; Lee, Lisa M. ; ... - Science Advances

Machine learning has gained widespread attention as a powerful tool to identify structure in complex, high-dimensional data. However, these techniques are ostensibly inapplicable for experimental systems where data are scarce or expensive to obtain. Here, we introduce a strategy to resolve this impasse by augmenting the experimental dataset with synthetically generated data of a much simpler sister system. Specifically, we study spontaneously emerging local order in crease networks of crumpled thin sheets, a paradigmatic example of spatial complexity, and show that machine learning techniques can be effective even in a data-limited regime. This is achieved by augmenting the scarce experimentalmore »« less

Bringing chemical structures to life with augmented reality, machine learning, and quantum chemistry

Journal Article Sakshuwong, Sukolsak ; Weir, Hayley ; Raucci, Umberto ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

Visualizing 3D molecular structures is crucial to understanding and predicting their chemical behavior. However, static 2D hand-drawn skeletal structures remain the preferred method of chemical communication. Here, we combine cutting-edge technologies in augmented reality (AR), machine learning, and computational chemistry to develop MolAR, an open-source mobile application for visualizing molecules in AR directly from their hand-drawn chemical structures. Users can also visualize any molecule or protein directly from its name or protein data bank ID and compute chemical properties in real time via quantum chemistry cloud computing. MolAR provides an easily accessible platform for the scientific community to visualize andmore »« less

Application of Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning to Large-Scale Synchrophasor Datasets: Evaluation of Dataset ‘Machine Learning-Readiness’

Journal Article Hart, Philip ; He, Lijun ; Wang, Tianyi ; ... - IEEE Open Access Journal of Power and Energy

This manuscript presents a data quality analysis and holistic ‘machine learning-readiness’ evaluation of a representative set of large-scale, real-world phasor measurement unit (PMU) datasets provided under the United States Department of Energy-funded FOA 1861 research program. A major focus of this study is to understand the present-day suitability of large-scale, real-world synchrophasor datasets for application of commercially-available, off-the-shelf big data and supervised or semi-supervised machine learning (ML) tools and catalogue any major obstacles to their application. To this end, dataset quality is methodically examined through an interconnect-wide quantifications of basic bad data occurrences, a summary of several harder-to-detect data qualitymore »« less
