• Abstract summary: We investigate the ability of neural networks to parameterize dynamics in fire science. In particular, we investigate neural networks that map five key parameters in fire spread to the first arrival time. For the inverse problem, we quantify the network's sensitivity in estimating each of the key parameters.

• Abstract: Data-driven techniques are being increasingly applied to complement physics-based models in fire science. However, the lack of sufficiently large datasets continues to hinder the application of certain machine learning techniques. In this paper, we use simulated data to investigate the ability of neural networks to parameterize dynamics in fire science. In particular, we investigate neural networks that map five key parameters in fire spread to the first arrival time, and the corresponding inverse problem. By using simulated data, we are able to characterize the error, the required dataset size, and the convergence properties of these neural networks. For the inverse problem, we quantify the network's sensitivity in estimating each of the key parameters. The findings demonstrate the potential of machine learning in fire science, highlight the challenges associated with limited dataset sizes, and quantify the sensitivity of neural networks to estimate key parameters governing fire spread dynamics.

  Entropy and mutual information in neural networks provide rich information on the learning process. We leverage data geometry to access the underlying manifold and reliably compute these information-theoretic measures. We show that they form noise-resistant measures of intrinsic dimensionality and relationship strength in high-dimensional simulated data.

  It is necessary to consider the behavior of the signals in each sensor separately, to take into account their correlation and hidden relationships with each other. The graph nodes can be represented as data from the different sensors, and the edges can display the influence of these data on each other. It was proposed to construct a graph during the training of graph neural network. This allows to train models on data where the dependencies between the sensors are not known in advance.
