• Authors: Veera Sundararaghavan, Megna N. Shah, Jeff P. Simmons
• Abstract summary: This paper aims to formulate dimensionality and state variable estimation techniques focused on reducing microstructural image data. It is shown that local dimensionality estimation based on nearest neighbors tend to give consistent dimension estimates for natural images for all p-Minkowski distances. It is also shown that stacked autoencoders can reconstruct the generator space of high dimensional microstructural data and provide a sparse set of state variables to fully describe the variability in material microstructures.

• Abstract: The vast combination of material properties seen in nature are achieved by the complexity of the material microstructure. Advanced characterization and physics based simulation techniques have led to generation of extremely large microstructural datasets. There is a need for machine learning techniques that can manage data complexity by capturing the maximal amount of information about the microstructure using the least number of variables. This paper aims to formulate dimensionality and state variable estimation techniques focused on reducing microstructural image data. It is shown that local dimensionality estimation based on nearest neighbors tend to give consistent dimension estimates for natural images for all p-Minkowski distances. However, it is found that dimensionality estimates have a systematic error for low-bit depth microstructural images. The use of Manhattan distance to alleviate this issue is demonstrated. It is also shown that stacked autoencoders can reconstruct the generator space of high dimensional microstructural data and provide a sparse set of state variables to fully describe the variability in material microstructures.

  We train a Variational Autoencoders (VAE) to produce reconstructions of textures that preserve the spatial statistics of the original texture. We accomplish this by adding a differentiable term to the cost function in order to minimize the distance between the original and the reconstruction in spatial statistics space.

  This paper defines upper and lower bounds for neural network widths, which are informed by the polytope structure of the dataset in question. We develop an algorithm to investigate a converse situation where the polytope structure of a dataset can be inferred from its corresponding trained neural networks. It is established that popular datasets such as MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, and CIFAR10 can be efficiently encapsulated using no more than two polytopes with a small number of faces.

  Unsupervised learning aims to capture the underlying structure of potentially large and high-dimensional datasets. In this work, we revisit these approaches under the lens of optimal transport and exhibit relationships with the Gromov-Wasserstein problem. This unveils a new general framework, called distributional reduction, that recovers DR and clustering as special cases and allows addressing them jointly within a single optimization problem.

  We propose a novel local nonlinear approach named Vec2vec for general purpose dimensionality reduction. To train the neural network, we build the neighborhood similarity graph of a matrix and define the context of data points. Experiments of data classification and clustering on eight real datasets show that Vec2vec is better than several classical dimensionality reduction methods in the statistical hypothesis test.

The MR-LVGP model embeds the mixed variables into a continuous design space based on their collective effects on the responses. We show that considering multiclass microstructures can lead to improved performance due to the consistent load-transfer paths for micro- and macro-structures.
