Project description:Elastography is a medical imaging technique used to measure the elasticity of tissues by comparing ultrasound signals before and after a light compression. The lateral resolution of ultrasound is much inferior to the axial resolution. Current elastography methods generally require both axial and lateral displacement components, making them less effective for clinical applications. Additionally, these methods often rely on the assumption of material incompressibility, which can lead to inaccurate elasticity reconstruction as no materials are truly incompressible. To address these challenges, a new physics-informed deep-learning method for elastography is proposed. This new method integrates a displacement network and an elasticity network to reconstruct the Young's modulus field of a heterogeneous object based on only a measured axial displacement field. It also allows for the removal of the assumption of material incompressibility, enabling the reconstruction of both Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio fields simultaneously. The authors demonstrate that using multiple measurements can mitigate the potential error introduced by the "eggshell" effect, in which the presence of stiff material prevents the generation of strain in soft material. These improvements make this new method a valuable tool for a wide range of applications in medical imaging, materials characterization, and beyond.

Project description:In recent years the use of convolutional layers to encode an inductive bias (translational equivariance) in neural networks has proven to be a very fruitful idea. The successes of this approach have motivated a line of research into incorporating other symmetries into deep learning methods, in the form of group equivariant convolutional neural networks. Much of this work has been focused on roto-translational symmetry of R d , but other examples are the scaling symmetry of R d and rotational symmetry of the sphere. In this work, we demonstrate that group equivariant convolutional operations can naturally be incorporated into learned reconstruction methods for inverse problems that are motivated by the variational regularisation approach. Indeed, if the regularisation functional is invariant under a group symmetry, the corresponding proximal operator will satisfy an equivariance property with respect to the same group symmetry. As a result of this observation, we design learned iterative methods in which the proximal operators are modelled as group equivariant convolutional neural networks. We use roto-translationally equivariant operations in the proposed methodology and apply it to the problems of low-dose computerised tomography reconstruction and subsampled magnetic resonance imaging reconstruction. The proposed methodology is demonstrated to improve the reconstruction quality of a learned reconstruction method with a little extra computational cost at training time but without any extra cost at test time.

Project description:Supercritical fluids play a key role in environmental, geological, and celestial processes, and are of great importance to many scientific and engineering applications. They exhibit strong variations in thermodynamic response functions, which has been hypothesized to stem from the microstructural behavior. However, a direct connection between thermodynamic conditions and the microstructural behavior, as described by molecular clusters, remains an outstanding issue. By utilizing a first-principles-based criterion and self-similarity analysis, we identify energetically localized molecular clusters whose size distribution and connectivity exhibit self-similarity in the extended supercritical phase space. We show that the structural response of these clusters follows a complex network behavior whose dynamics arises from the energetics of isotropic molecular interactions. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a hidden variable network model can accurately describe the structural and dynamical response of supercritical fluids. These results highlight the need for constitutive models and provide a basis to relate the fluid microstructure to thermodynamic response functions.

Project description:Modelling blood flow in microvascular networks is challenging due to the complex nature of haemorheology. Zero- and one-dimensional approaches cannot reproduce local haemodynamics, and models that consider individual red blood cells (RBCs) are prohibitively computationally expensive. Continuum approaches could provide an efficient solution, but dependence on a large parameter space and scarcity of experimental data for validation has limited their application. We describe a method to assimilate experimental RBC velocity and concentration data into a continuum numerical modelling framework. Imaging data of RBCs were acquired in a sequentially bifurcating microchannel for various flow conditions. RBC concentration distributions were evaluated and mapped into computational fluid dynamics simulations with rheology prescribed by the Quemada model. Predicted velocities were compared to particle image velocimetry data. A subset of cases was used for parameter optimisation, and the resulting model was applied to a wider data set to evaluate model efficacy. The pre-optimised model reduced errors in predicted velocity by 60% compared to assuming a Newtonian fluid, and optimisation further reduced errors by 40%. Asymmetry of RBC velocity and concentration profiles was demonstrated to play a critical role. Excluding asymmetry in the RBC concentration doubled the error, but excluding spatial distributions of shear rate had little effect. This study demonstrates that a continuum model with optimised rheological parameters can reproduce measured velocity if RBC concentration distributions are known a priori. Developing this approach for RBC transport with more network configurations has the potential to provide an efficient approach for modelling network-scale haemodynamics.

Project description:We propose a discretization-free approach to simulation of cyclic voltammetry using Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) by constraining a feed-forward neutral network with the diffusion equation and electrochemically consistent boundary conditions. Using PINNs, we first predict one-dimensional voltammetry at a disc electrode with semi-infinite or thin layer boundary conditions. The voltammograms agree quantitatively with those obtained independently using the finite difference method and/or previously reported analytical expressions. Further, we predict the voltammetry at a microband electrode, solving the two-dimensional diffusion equation, obtaining results in close agreement with the literature. Last, we apply a PINN to voltammetry at the edges of a square electrode, quantifying the nonuniform current distribution near the corner of electrode. In general, we noticed the relative ease of developing PINNs for the solution of, in particular, the higher dimensional problem, and recommend PINNs as a potentially faster and easier alternative to existing approaches for voltammetric problems.

Project description:The inverse protein folding problem, also known as protein sequence design, seeks to predict an amino acid sequence that folds into a specific structure and performs a specific function. Recent advancements in machine learning techniques have been successful in generating functional sequences, outperforming previous energy function-based methods. However, these machine learning methods are limited in their interoperability and robustness, especially when designing proteins that must function under non-ambient conditions, such as high temperature, extreme pH, or in various ionic solvents. To address this issue, we propose a new Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs)-based protein sequence design approach. Our approach combines all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, a PINNs MD surrogate model, and a relaxation of binary programming to solve the protein design task while optimizing both energy and the structural stability of proteins. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our design framework in designing proteins that can function under non-ambient conditions.

Project description:Inferring the properties of a scattering objective by analyzing the optical far-field responses within the framework of inverse problems is of great practical significance. However, it still faces major challenges when the parameter range is growing and involves inevitable experimental noises. Here, we propose a solving strategy containing robust neural-networks-based algorithms and informative photonic dispersions to overcome such challenges for a sort of inverse scattering problem-reconstructing grating profiles. Using two typical neural networks, forward-mapping type and inverse-mapping type, we reconstruct grating profiles whose geometric features span hundreds of nanometers with nanometric sensitivity and several seconds of time consumption. A forward-mapping neural network with a parameters-to-point architecture especially stands out in generating analytical photonic dispersions accurately, featured by sharp Fano-shaped spectra. Meanwhile, to implement the strategy experimentally, a Fourier-optics-based angle-resolved imaging spectroscopy with an all-fixed light path is developed to measure the dispersions by a single shot, acquiring adequate information. Our forward-mapping algorithm can enable real-time comparisons between robust predictions and experimental data with actual noises, showing an excellent linear correlation (R2 > 0.982) with the measurements of atomic force microscopy. Our work provides a new strategy for reconstructing grating profiles in inverse scattering problems.

Project description:Inverse problems in image processing, phase imaging, and computer vision often share the same structure of mapping input image(s) to output image(s) but are usually solved by different application-specific algorithms. Deep convolutional neural networks have shown great potential for highly variable tasks across many image-based domains, but sometimes can be challenging to train due to their internal non-linearity. We propose a novel, fast-converging neural network architecture capable of solving generic image(s)-to-image(s) inverse problems relevant to a diverse set of domains. We show this approach is useful in recovering wavefronts from direct intensity measurements, imaging objects from diffusely reflected images, and denoising scanning transmission electron microscopy images, just by using different training datasets. These successful applications demonstrate the proposed network to be an ideal candidate solving general inverse problems falling into the category of image(s)-to-image(s) translation.

Project description:Optical computing promises to improve the speed and energy efficiency of machine learning applications1-6. However, current approaches to efficiently train these models are limited by in silico emulation on digital computers. Here we develop a method called fully forward mode (FFM) learning, which implements the compute-intensive training process on the physical system. The majority of the machine learning operations are thus efficiently conducted in parallel on site, alleviating numerical modelling constraints. In free-space and integrated photonics, we experimentally demonstrate optical systems with state-of-the-art performances for a given network size. FFM learning shows training the deepest optical neural networks with millions of parameters achieves accuracy equivalent to the ideal model. It supports all-optical focusing through scattering media with a resolution of the diffraction limit; it can also image in parallel the objects hidden outside the direct line of sight at over a kilohertz frame rate and can conduct all-optical processing with light intensity as weak as subphoton per pixel (5.40 × 1018- operations-per-second-per-watt energy efficiency) at room temperature. Furthermore, we prove that FFM learning can automatically search non-Hermitian exceptional points without an analytical model. FFM learning not only facilitates orders-of-magnitude-faster learning processes, but can also advance applied and theoretical fields such as deep neural networks, ultrasensitive perception and topological photonics.
