Uncertainty-quantification-enabled inversion of nuclear responses
Nuclear quantum many-body methods rely on integral transform techniques to infer properties of electroweak response functions from ground-state expectation values. Retrieving the energy dependence of these responses is highly nontrivial, especially for quantum Monte Carlo methods, as it requires inverting the Laplace transform, a notoriously ill-posed problem. Here, in this work, we propose an artificial neural network architecture suitable for accurate response function reconstruction with precise estimation of the uncertainty of the inversion. We demonstrate the capabilities of this new architecture benchmarking it against maximum entropy and previously developed neural network methods designed for a similar task, paying particular attention to its robustness noise in the Euclidean

Autonomy Loops for Monitoring, Operational Data Analytics, Feedback, and Response in HPC Operations
Many High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities have developed and deployed frameworks in support of continuous monitoring and operational data analytics (MODA) to help improve efficiency and throughput. Because of the complexity and scale of systems and workflows and the need for low-latency response to address dynamic circumstances, automated feedback and response have the potential to be more effective than current human-in-the-loop approaches which are laborious and error prone. Progress has been limited, however, by factors such as the lack of infrastructure and feedback hooks, and successful deployment is often site- and case-specific. In this position paper we report on the outcomes and plans from a recent Dagstuhl Seminar, seeking to carve a path for community progress in the development of autonomous feedback loops for MODA, based on the established formalism of similar (MAPE-K) loops in autonomous computing and self-adaptive systems. By defining and developing such loops for significant cases experienced across HPC sites, we seek to extract commonalities and develop conventions that will facilitate interoperability and interchangeability with system hardware, software, and applications across different sites, and will motivate vendors and others to provide telemetry interfaces and feedback hooks to enable community development and pervasive deployment of MODA autonomy loops.

Quantifying uncertainty for deep learning based forecasting and flow-reconstruction using neural architecture search ensembles
Classical problems in computational physics such as data-driven forecasting and signal reconstruction from sparse sensors have recently seen an explosion in deep neural network (DNN) based algorithmic approaches. However, most DNN models do not provide uncertainty estimates, which are crucial for establishing the trustworthiness of these techniques in downstream decision making tasks and scenarios. In recent years, ensemble-based methods have achieved significant success for the uncertainty quantification in DNNs on a number of benchmark problems. However, their performance on real-world applications remains under-explored. In this work, we present an automated approach to DNN discovery and demonstrate how this may also be utilized for ensemble-based uncertainty quantification. Specifically, we propose the use of a scalable neural and hyperparameter architecture search for discovering an ensemble of DNN models for complex dynamical systems. We highlight how the proposed method not only discovers high-performing neural network ensembles for our tasks, but also quantifies uncertainty seamlessly. This is achieved by using genetic algorithms and Bayesian optimization for sampling the search space of neural network architectures and hyperparameters. Subsequently, a model selection approach is used to identify candidate models for an ensemble set construction. Afterwards, a variance decomposition approach is used to estimate the uncertainty of the predictions from the ensemble. We demonstrate the feasibility of this framework for two tasks — forecasting from historical data and flow reconstruction from sparse sensors for the sea-surface temperature. In conclusion, we demonstrate superior performance from the ensemble in contrast with individual high-performing models and other benchmarks.

Graph neural networks for detecting anomalies in scientific workflows
Identifying and addressing anomalies in complex, distributed systems can be challenging for reliable execution of scientific workflows. We model these workflows as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), where the nodes and edges of the DAGs represent jobs and their dependencies, respectively. We develop graph neural networks (GNNs) to learn patterns in the DAGs and to detect anomalies at the node (job) and graph (workflow) levels. We investigate workflow-specific GNN models that are trained on a particular workflow and workflow-agnostic GNN models that are trained across the workflows. Our GNN models, which incorporate both individual job features and topological information from the workflow, show improved accuracy and efficiency compared to conventional learning methods for detecting anomalies. While joint trained with multiple scientific workflows, our GNN models reached an accuracy more than 80% for workflow level and 75% for job level anomalies. In addition, we illustrate the importance of hyperparameter tuning method in our study that can significantly improve the metric(s) measure of evaluating the GNN models. Finally, we integrate explainable GNN methods to provide insights on job features in the workflow that cause an anomaly.

By exploiting the coherent properties of a light source, coherent diffraction imaging (CDI) is able to obtain the sample image at a nanoscale resolution using the measured diffraction pattern. Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging (BCDI) has become valuable for recovering the displacement and strain field of crystals, providing a valuable tool in material science and solid-state physics. X-ray ptychography is another emerging CDI technique that can produce a high-resolution image of the extended sample and has become popular in many research areas (e.g., materials science, biology, electronics, and optics characterization). CDI including BCDI and ptychography has become an established technique in Synchrotron Facilities including the Advanced Photon Source (APS) and will greatly benefit from the 100x coherent flux increase of the upcoming APS Upgrade (APSU). The current image formation process in CDI employs iterative phase retrieval algorithms, which is a time-consuming and computationally expensive process. Especially after APSU, the traditional iterative methods will not be able to match the experimental data acquisition speed. We employ deep learning (DL) approach to replace the iterative approaches, therefore allowing hundreds of times faster recovery of the object. We developed AutoPhaseNN, a DL-based approach which learns to solve the inverse problem without labeled data. Taking 3D BCDI as a representative technique, AutoPhaseNN has been demonstrated to be one hundred times faster than traditional iterative phase retrieval methods while providing comparable image quality. The current network is trained with 64 x 64 x 64 data size, to achieve higher resolution imaging, we will need to scale the network to input and train/infer 3D arrays of size 256 x 256 x 256 (today) and of size 2560x2560x2560 (APSU). However, the scalability of the network is restricted due to the memory-intensive training process. To perform the training for a 256 x 256 x 256 data size, the required memory exceeds the capacity of the current machine. In this project, we explore using Sambanova system to train the network for the direct data inversion for CDI.

Machine-learning-based inversion of nuclear responses
A microscopic description of the interaction of atomic nuclei with external electroweak probes is required for elucidating aspects of short-range nuclear dynamics and for the correct interpretation of neutrino oscillation experiments. Nuclear quantum Monte Carlo methods infer the nuclear electroweak response functions from their Laplace transforms. Inverting the Laplace transform is a notoriously ill-posed problem; and Bayesian techniques, such as maximum entropy, are typically used to reconstruct the original response functions in the quasielastic region. In this work, we present a physics-informed artificial neural network architecture suitable for approximating the inverse of the Laplace transform. Utilizing simulated, albeit realistic, electromagnetic response functions, we show that this physics-informed artificial neural network outperforms maximum entropy in both the low-energy transfer and the quasielastic regions, thereby allowing for robust calculations of electron scattering and neutrino scattering on nuclei and inclusive muon capture rates.
