Anomalous diffusion occurs at very different scales in nature, from atomic systems to motions in cell organelles, biological tissues or ecology, and also in artificial materials, such as cement. Being able to accurately measure the anomalous exponent associated to a given particle trajectory, thus determining whether the particle subdiffuses, superdiffuses or performs normal diffusion, is of key importance to understand the diffusion process. Also it is often important to trustingly identify the model behind the trajectory, as it this gives a large amount of information on the system dynamics. Both aspects are particularly difficult when the input data are short and noisy trajectories. It is even more difficult if one cannot guarantee that the trajectories output in experiments are homogeneous, hindering the statistical methods based on ensembles of trajectories. We present a data-driven method able to infer the anomalous exponent and to identify the type of anomalous diffusion process behind single, noisy and short trajectories, with good accuracy. This model was used in our participation in the anomalous diffusion (AnDi) challenge. A combination of convolutional and recurrent neural networks was used to achieve state-of-the-art results when compared to methods participating in the AnDi challenge, ranking top 4 in both classification and diffusion exponent regression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
