Leveraging the mathematics of shape for solar magnetic eruption prediction

Abstract: Current operational forecasts of solar eruptions are made by human experts using a combination of qualitative shape-based classification systems and historical data about flaring frequencies. In the past decade, there has been a great deal of interest in crafting machine-learning (ML) flareprediction methods to extract underlying patterns from a training set-e.g., a set of solar magnetogram images, each characterized by features derived from the magnetic field and labeled as to whether it was an eruption precu… Show more

“…To complement the physics-based features, we also include some shape-based features extracted using topological data analysis (TDA), as proposed in Deshmukh et al (2020). TDA is an approach to characterize the shape of data in terms of its homology, i.e.…”

“…Since we are dealing with a 2-dimensional image for extracting the features, our Betti numbers are restricted to {β 0 , β 1 }. As in Deshmukh et al (2020), we choose β 1 for our topology-based feature set. On an image, TDA counts holes by first performing sub-level thresholding, i.e.…”

“…However, there is insufficient discussion on how to develop the methods available to real-time operations in space weather forecasting offices, including the methods for validation and verification of the models. Currently, new physical and geometrical (topological) features are applied to flare prediction using machine learning (e.g., Wang et al 2020a;Deshmukh et al 2020), and it has been noted that training sets may be sensitive to which period in the solar cycle they are drawn from. (Wang et al 2020b).…”
