• Authors: Peter Lalor,
• Abstract summary: We pretrain a model using physically derived synthetic data and leverage transfer learning techniques to fine-tune the model for a specific target domain. Results of this analysis indicate that fine-tuned models significantly outperform those trained exclusively on synthetic data or solely on target-domain data. This research serves as proof of concept for applying transfer learning techniques to application scenarios where access to experimental data is limited.

• Abstract: Machine learning methods in gamma spectroscopy have the potential to provide accurate, real-time classification of unknown radioactive samples. However, obtaining sufficient experimental training data is often prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, and models trained solely on synthetic data can struggle to generalize to the unpredictable range of real-world operating scenarios. In this work, we pretrain a model using physically derived synthetic data and subsequently leverage transfer learning techniques to fine-tune the model for a specific target domain. This paradigm enables us to embed physical principles during the pretraining step, thus requiring less data from the target domain compared to classical machine learning methods. Results of this analysis indicate that fine-tuned models significantly outperform those trained exclusively on synthetic data or solely on target-domain data, particularly in the intermediate data regime (${\approx} 10^4$ training samples). This conclusion is consistent across four different machine learning architectures (MLP, CNN, Transformer, and LSTM) considered in this study. This research serves as proof of concept for applying transfer learning techniques to application scenarios where access to experimental data is limited.

  This paper is aimed at using the newly developing field of physics informed machine learning (PIML) to develop models for predicting the remaining useful lifetime (RUL) aircraft engines. We consider the well-known benchmark NASA Commercial Modular Aero-Propulsion System Simulation System (C-MAPSS) data as the main data for this paper.

Using zeroth order optimization and multi-label mapping techniques, BAR can reprogram a black-box ML model solely based on its input-output responses. BAR outperforms state-of-the-art methods and yields comparable performance to the vanilla adversarial reprogramming method.
