In the field of simulation sciences, a popular and effective strategy to address the challenges of high computational and storage costs is to create a simpler statistical/mathematical surrogate, mimicking the original expensive simulation mode. The surrogate is then utilized to perform detailed analysis tasks instead of the expensive simulation model. In this talk, I will describe collaborative research with Prof. Chou in which we designed an interactive visual analysis framework, backed by a neural network-based surrogate model, to assist in analyzing and visualizing a complex yeast cell polarization simulation model. The model simulates the concentration of important protein molecules along the membrane of a yeast cell (single-cell microorganism) during its mating process. The simulation model comprises 35 uncalibrated input parameters and generates a 400-dimensional output. we demonstrate the advantage of using neural networks as surrogate models for visual analysis by incorporating some of the recent advances in the field of uncertainty quantification, interpretability and explainability of neural network-based models. We utilize the trained network to perform interactive parameter sensitivity analysis of the original simulation at multiple levels-of-detail as well as recommend optimal parameter configurations using the activation maximization framework of neural networks. We also facilitate analysis of the trained network to extract useful insights about the simulation model, learned by the network, during the training process.
