Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques to identify material properties from measured physical response data in ways that are more efficient than conventional numerical inversion. Systems and techniques of the present disclosure may use machine learning (ML) techniques to generate mappings that map specific physical responses to specific material properties based on knowledge of factors that may be inherent to certain types of sensing equipment. Data generated by a ML computer model may be constrained, altered, or filtered to more closely correspond to characteristics known to be associated with a certain type of sensing equipment. Such a constrained model may identify fewer possible results as compared to an unconstrained model, thereby, solving problems that may be encountered when using ML techniques to identify material properties from measured responses.
