Deep Generative model that uses physical quantities to generate and retrieve solar magnetic active regions
- 通过GAN结合SVM建立隐空间与物理量的映射关系。
- 生成图像可按指定物理量平滑变化,且能匹配真实观测数据。
- 适合需要可解释生成模型的科研人员,尤其在天体物理领域。
深度生成模型在生成具有真实数据特征的未见数据方面展现出巨大潜力,但其隐变量与科学相关量之间的脱节使其在科学领域遭遇质疑。本研究整合三种机器学习模型,以物理可解释方式生成太阳磁活动区,并用生成结果查询真实观测数据。基于太阳-天气HMI活动区斑块(SHARPs)的磁场测量数据训练生成对抗网络(GAN)。通过将GAN生成图像的物理属性与其隐向量关联,训练支持向量机(SVM)建立物理空间与隐空间之间的映射,从而获得沿特定物理参数变化的方向。同时训练自监督学习模型(SSL),使生成图像可作为查询,从真实数据中检索具有相同物理特征的样本。结果表明,GAN-SVM组合可生成仅随指定物理量平滑变化的高质量磁斑,且生成结果能有效检索真实数据。该方法将生成式AI从单纯生成人工数据,提升为一种新型科学数据探查工具,拓展了其在日地物理学以外领域的应用潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep generative models have shown immense potential in generating unseen data that has properties of real data. These models learn complex data-generating distributions starting from a smaller set of latent dimensions. However, generative models have encountered great skepticism in scientific domains due to the disconnection between generative latent vectors and scientifically relevant quantities. In this study, we integrate three types of machine learning models to generate solar magnetic patches in a physically interpretable manner and use those as a query to find matching patches in real observations. We use the magnetic field measurements from Space-weather HMI Active Region Patches (SHARPs) to train a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). We connect the physical properties of GAN-generated images with their latent vectors to train Support Vector Machines (SVMs) that do mapping between physical and latent spaces. These produce directions in the GAN latent space along which known physical parameters of the SHARPs change. We train a self-supervised learner (SSL) to make queries with generated images and find matches from real data. We find that the GAN-SVM combination enables users to produce high-quality patches that change smoothly only with a prescribed physical quantity, making generative models physically interpretable. We also show that GAN outputs can be used to retrieve real data that shares the same physical properties as the generated query. This elevates Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) from a means-to-produce artificial data to a novel tool for scientific data interrogation, supporting its applicability beyond the domain of heliophysics.
