Semi and Self Supervised approaches to Space Group and Bravais Lattice Determination

ORAL

Abstract

During this talk, I will discuss our work [1] to use neural networks to automatically classifiy Bravais lattices and space-groups from neutron powder diffraction data. Our work classifies 14 Bravais lattices and 144 space groups. The novelty of our approach is to use semi-supervised and self-supervised learning to allow for training on data sets with unlabelled data as is common at user facilities. We achieve state of the art results with a semi-supervised approach. Our accuracy for our self-supervised training is comparable to that with a supervised approach.
