Spotlight: efficient automated global optimization in rietveld analysis of diffraction data

Performing reliable Rietveld analysis on tens or hundreds of powder diffraction datasets from parametric or time-resolved experiments often poses a bottleneck in extracting meaningful results from the data. While automated analysis of data has recently been demonstrated, high temperature annealing studies, during which phase transformations occur and lattice parameters may change due to repartitioning of elements, are prime examples where automation by a simple phase identification from a database of room temperature structures or automation by sequential refinements is likely to fail. To enable reliable, efficient, automated Rietveld analysis, we present a Python package named Spotlight , building on established Rietveld packages such as MAUD, GSAS , or GSAS-II , which extends the refinement of best fit parameters to a global optimization using an ensemble of optimizers leveraging hierarchical parallel execution on high-performance computing clusters. Spotlight further enables the efficient design of refinement plans through the iterative automated machine-learning of a surrogate for the refinement on which the global optimizations are performed until results from the surrogate converge to the response surface data. We demonstrate Spotlight with the analysis of uranium molybdenum and Ti–6Al–4V datasets, as well as in two open-source tutorials analyzing aluminium oxide and lead sulphate.

Topological Analysis of The SPOKE Graph

The SPOKE graph [2, 6] is a sparse decorated semantic graph representing a collection of knowledge collected in many scientific databases from the fields of healthcare, biochemistry, chemistry, biology, et cetera. This knowledge graph is stored as a relational dataset decorated with metadata on each constituent vertex and edge. Formally, the graph is G(V, E, D), where V is a set of n vertices V := {1, ..., n} and edges of the form (i, j) ϵ E for i, j ϵ V, and table D that for any item in V υ E stores unstructured data such as vertex/edge type, nature of a relationship, et cetera. D(i) = {data involving vertex i ϵ V}, and D(i, j) = {data involving edge (i, j) ϵ E}. Here, we treat the graph as undirected in the sense that a direct relationship for (i, j) causes a (possibly opposite) reverse direct relationship for (j, i). The SPOKE graph G(V, E, D) is formed by processing a collection of relational datasets from medicine, chemistry, and biology, connecting many entities. Here, we analyze an instance from 2019, Spoke-20190707, where a graph file contains 6.16M edges and associated metadata and a vertex file contains 2.15M vertices and the associated metadata. There are 12 different types of vertex entities; all edge types used are implicit (see §2). There is other metadata in D on edges and vertices, but we just use the topology and the vertex labels in this report. SPOKE is growing as more knowledge is gained and more datasets are added. SPOKE is likely to grow 10x during the next phase of this project, and we therefore would like to consider topoligical analysis techniques that are scalable to several orders of magnitude larger than the current dataset (say >1B edges).
