Abstract

A data-driven framework is presented, that enables the prediction of quantities, either observations or parameters, given sufficient partial data. The framework is illustrated via a computational model of the deposition of Cu in a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) reactor, where the reactor pressure, the deposition temperature and feed mass flow rate are important process parameters that determine the outcome of the process. The sampled observations are high-dimensional vectors containing the outputs of a detailed CFD steady-state model of the process, i.e. the values of velocity, pressure, temperature, and species mass fractions at each point in the discretization. A machine learning workflow is presented, able to predict out-of-sample (a) observations (e.g. mass fraction in the reactor) given process parameters (e.g. inlet temperature); (b) process parameters given observation data; and (c) partial observations (e.g. temperature in the reactor) given other partial observations (e.g. mass fraction in the reactor). The proposed workflow relies on the manifold learning schemes Diffusion Maps and the associated Geometric Harmonics. Diffusion Maps is used for discovering a reduced representation of the available data, and Geometric Harmonics for extending functions defined on the manifold. In our work a special use case of Geometric Harmonics is formulated and implemented, which we call Double Diffusion Maps, to map from the reduced representation back to (partial) observations and process parameters. A comparison of our manifold learning scheme to the traditional Gappy-POD approach is provided: ours can be thought of as a "Gappy DMAP" approach. The presented methodology is easily transferable to application domains beyond reactor engineering.

How many continuous measurements are needed to learn a vector?

One can recover vectors from $\mathbb{R}^m$ with arbitrary precision, using only $\lceil \log_2(m)\rceil +1$ continuous measurements that are chosen adaptively. This surprising result is explained and discussed, and we present applications to infinite-dimensional approximation problems.

IterativeCUR: Large Rank-Adaptive Approximation From a Small Recycled Sketch

The computation of accurate low-rank matrix approximations is central to improving the scalability of various techniques in machine learning, uncertainty quantification, and control. Traditionally, low-rank approximations are constructed using SVD-based approaches such as truncated SVD or Randomized SVD. Although these SVD approaches---especially Randomized SVD---have proven to be very computationally efficient, other low-rank approximation methods can offer even greater performance. One such approach is the CUR decomposition, which forms a low-rank approximation using direct row and column subsets of a matrix. Because CUR uses direct matrix subsets, it is also often better able to preserve native matrix structures like sparsity or non-negativity than SVD-based approaches and can facilitate data interpretation in many contexts. This paper introduces IterativeCUR, which draws on previous work in randomized numerical linear algebra to build a new algorithm that is highly competitive compared to prior work. IterativeCUR is adaptive in the sense that it takes as an input parameter the desired tolerance $ε$ and outputs (with arbitrarily high probability) an approximation of error bounded by $ε$, rather than requiring an a priori guess of the numerical rank. IterativeCUR typically runs significantly faster than both existing CUR algorithms and techniques such as Randomized SVD. Its asymptotic complexity is $\mathcal{O}(mn + (m+n)r^2)$ for an $m\times n$ matrix of output rank $r$. IterativeCUR relies on a single small sketch from the matrix that is successively downdated as the algorithm proceeds. We demonstrate through extensive experiments that IterativeCUR achieves up to $4\times$ speed-up over state-of-the-art pivoting-on-sketch approaches with no loss of accuracy, and up to $40\times$ speed-up over rank-adaptive randomized SVD approaches.

Multigrid with Linear Storage Complexity

As the discretization error for the solution of a partial differential equation (PDE) decreases, the precision required to store the corresponding coefficients naturally increases. Storing the solution's finite element coefficients explicitly requires $\mathcal O(n \log n)$ bits of storage, where $n$ is the number of degrees of freedom (DoFs). This paper presents a full multigrid method to compute the solution in a compressed format that reduces the storage complexity of the solution and intermediate vectors to $\mathcal O(n)$ bits. This reduction allows a matrix-free implementation to solve elliptic PDEs with an overall linear space complexity. For problems limited by the memory capacity of current supercomputers, we expect a memory footprint reduction of about an order of magnitude compared to state-of-the-art mixed-precision methods. We demonstrate the applicability of our algorithm by solving two model problems. Depending on the PDE and polynomial degree, but irrespective of the problem size, the solution vector on the finest grid requires between 4 and 12 bits per DoF, and the residual and correction require 3 to 6 bits each. Additional data is stored on the coarse grids with modestly increasing bit widths toward coarser grids.
