• Abstract: The design space for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments is vast and experiments are extremely expensive. Researchers rely heavily on computer simulations to explore the design space in search of high-performing implosions. However, ICF multiphysics codes must make simplifying assumptions, and thus deviate from experimental measurements for complex implosions. For more effective design and investigation, simulations require input from past experimental data to better predict future performance. In this work, we describe a cognitive simulation method for combining simulation and experimental data into a common, predictive model. This method leverages a machine learning technique called transfer learning, the process of taking a model trained to solve one task, and partially retraining it on a sparse dataset to solve a different, but related task. In the context of ICF design, neural network models trained on large simulation databases and partially retrained on experimental data, producing models that are far more accurate than simulations alone. We demonstrate improved model performance for a range of ICF experiments at the National Ignition Facility, and predict the outcome of recent experiments with less than ten percent error for several key observables. We discuss how the methods might be used to carry out a data-driven experimental campaign to optimize performance, illustrating the key product -- models that become increasingly accurate as data is acquired.

  Simulation-based inference ( SBI) is capable of approximating the posterior distribution that relates input parameters to a given observation.

  Building a sustainable burn platform in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) requires an understanding of the physical processes and effects that key experimental design changes have on implosion performance. In this paper, we leverage developments in machine learning (ML) and methods for ML feature importance/sensitivity analysis to identify complex relationships in ways that are difficult to process using expert judgment alone. We show that RF models are capable of learning and predicting on ICF experimental data with high accuracy, and we extract feature importance metrics that provide insight into the physical significance of different controllable design inputs for various ICF design configurations.
