Efficient Level-Crossing Probability Calculation for Gaussian Process Modeled Data
- 分层空间划分+自适应重建,仅处理有非零概率区域
- 基于核函数与观测数据,快速估算跨水平概率上界
- 适用于大规模科学模拟数据的低耗高效不确定性可视化
几乎所有科学数据都源于多种来源的不确定性。高斯过程回归(GPR)是建模服从高斯分布不确定性的自然方式,同时可减少大型科学模拟中的输入/输出带宽和存储需求。然而,从GPR模型中重构数据存在高计算复杂度问题。经典不确定性可视化方法如概率等值面提取算法在高分辨率数据下尤为耗时。本文通过将数据空间分层划分,并仅在具有非零跨水平概率的区域自适应地进行重构,加速了跨水平概率的计算效率。针对每个区域,利用已知的GPR核函数和保存的观测数据,提出一种新方法,高效计算区域内跨水平概率的上界,并以此指导细分与重构决策。实验表明,该方法在多个数据集上均实现了高精度的概率估计,且计算成本极低。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Almost all scientific data have uncertainties originating from different sources. Gaussian process regression (GPR) models are a natural way to model data with Gaussian-distributed uncertainties. GPR also has the benefit of reducing I/O bandwidth and storage requirements for large scientific simulations. However, the reconstruction from the GPR models suffers from high computation complexity. To make the situation worse, classic approaches for visualizing the data uncertainties, like probabilistic marching cubes, are also computationally very expensive, especially for data of high resolutions. In this paper, we accelerate the level-crossing probability calculation efficiency on GPR models by subdividing the data spatially into a hierarchical data structure and only reconstructing values adaptively in the regions that have a non-zero probability. For each region, leveraging the known GPR kernel and the saved data observations, we propose a novel approach to efficiently calculate an upper bound for the level-crossing probability inside the region and use this upper bound to make the subdivision and reconstruction decisions. We demonstrate that our value occurrence probability estimation is accurate with a low computation cost by experiments that calculate the level-crossing probability fields on different datasets.
