Blind source separation Neural Networks Conclusions
Blind Source Separation (BSS)
BSS: an objective machine-learning method for source identification
without a model (model-free analysis/inversion)
Blind source separation Neural Networks Conclusions
Blind Source Separation (BSS)
Provides characterization of the physical sources causing spatial and
temporal variation of observed state variables (e.g. pressures,
concentrations, etc.)
Avoids model errors
Accounts for measurement errors
Identification of the sources (forcings) can be crucial for
conceptualization and model development
If the sources are successfully “unmixed” from the observations,
decoupled physics models may then be applied to analyze the
propagation of each source independently
Widely applicable
Blind source separation Neural Networks Conclusions
Blind Source Separation → Matrix Factorization
Invert for the unknown sources S [p × r] that have produced known
observation records, H [p × m], with unknown noise (measurement
errors), E [p × m]:
H = SA + E
A [r × m] is unknown “mixing” matrix
p is the number of observation points (wells)
m is the number of observed components
r is the number of unknown sources (r < m)
The problem is ill-posed and the solutions are non-unique
There are various methods to resolve this applying different
“regularization” terms:
maximum variability
statistical independence
non-negativity
smoothness
simplicity, etc.
Blind source separation Neural Networks Conclusions
Blind source separation methods
ICA: Independent Component Analysis
Maximizing the statistical independence of the retrieved forcings
signals in S (i.e. the matrix columns are expected to be independent)
by maximizing some high-order statistics for each source signal (e.g.
kurtosis) or minimizing information entropy
The main idea behind ICA is that, while the probability distribution of a
linear mixture of sources in H is expected to be close to a Gaussian
(the Central Limit Theorem), the probability distribution of the original
independent sources is expected to be non-Gaussian.
NMF: Non-negative Matrix Factorization
Non-negativity constraint on the components of both the signal S and
mixing A matrices
As a result, the observed data are representing only additive signals
that cannot cancel mutually (suitable for many applications)
Additivity and non-negativity requirements may lead to sparseness in
both the signal S and mixing A matrices
Blind source separation Neural Networks Conclusions
NMFk: Non-negative Matrix Factorization + k-means
NMFk: we have developed a novel machine learning method for BSS
coupling two machine-learning techniques:
Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF)
k-means clustering
NMFk applies two constraints:
non-negativity
parsimony (simplicity)
Implemented in MADS (Model Analysis & Decision Support)
