Deciphering the Scattering of Mechanically Driven Polymers using Deep Learning

Lijie Ding, Chi-Huan Tung, Bobby G. Sumpter +2

We present a deep learning approach for analyzing two-dimensional scattering data of semiflexible polymers under external forces. In our framework, scattering functions are compres…
