用拓扑不确定性检测神经网络对中子星数据的异常推断,准确率超90%。

Topological Uncertainty for Anomaly Detection in the Neural-network EoS Inference with Neutron Star Data

  • 基于神经网络隐藏层构建拓扑不确定性,提取深层信息。
  • 在最佳配置下,异常检测成功率超过90%。
  • 适合需要高可信度推断的天体物理与高维数据场景。

我们研究了基于训练好的前馈神经网络(FNN)构建的拓扑不确定性(TU)在异常检测中的性能。训练后的FNN隐层可存储有意义信息,而TU通过拓扑数据分析方法有效提取这些隐藏信息。本文阐明了TU概念与数值实现流程,并以中子星数据用于方程态(EoS)推断为例进行验证。训练数据包含输入(中子星观测)与输出(EoS参数),根据推断结果是否准确划分为标签k=0(正常)与k=1(失败)。基于带标签子集构建TU后,引入交叉拓扑不确定性(cross-TU)量化不同标签间数据特征的不一致性。当j=k=1时的cross-TU小于j=0,k=1时,即判定为异常。在多种输入条件下计算cross-TU,结果表明检测性能依赖于FNN超参数,最佳情况下异常检测成功率达90%以上。最后讨论了TU在挖掘训练后神经网络深层信息方面的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We study the performance of the Topological Uncertainty (TU) constructed with a trained feedforward neural network (FNN) for Anomaly Detection. Generally, meaningful information can be stored in the hidden layers of the trained FNN, and the TU implementation is one tractable recipe to extract buried information by means of the Topological Data Analysis. We explicate the concept of the TU and the numerical procedures. Then, for a concrete demonstration of the performance test, we employ the Neutron Star data used for inference of the equation of state (EoS). For the training dataset consisting of the input (Neutron Star data) and the output (EoS parameters), we can compare the inferred EoSs and the exact answers to classify the data with the label $k$. The subdataset with $k=0$ leads to the normal inference for which the inferred EoS approximates the answer well, while the subdataset with $k=1$ ends up with the unsuccessful inference. Once the TU is prepared based on the $k$-labled subdatasets, we introduce the cross-TU to quantify the uncertainty of characterizing the $k$-labeled data with the label $j$. The anomaly or unsuccessful inference is correctly detected if the cross-TU for $j=k=1$ is smaller than that for $j=0$ and $k=1$. In our numerical experiment, for various input data, we calculate the cross-TU and estimate the performance of Anomaly Detection. We find that performance depends on FNN hyperparameters, and the success rate of Anomaly Detection exceeds $90\%$ in the best case. We finally discuss further potential of the TU application to retrieve the information hidden in the trained FNN.
