Correlation matrices contain a wide variety of spatio-temporal information about a dynamical system. Predicting correlation matrices from partial time series information of a few nodes characterizes the spatio-temporal dynamics of the entire underlying system. This information can help to predict the underlying network structure, e.g., inferring neuronal connections from spiking data, deducing causal dependencies between genes from expression data, and discovering long spatial range influences in climate variations. Traditional methods of predicting correlation matrices utilize time series data of all the nodes of the underlying networks. Here, we use a supervised machine learning technique to predict the correlation matrix of entire systems from finite time series information of a few randomly selected nodes. The accuracy of the prediction validates that only a limited time series of a subset of the entire system is enough to make good correlation matrix predictions. Furthermore, using an unsupervised learning algorithm, we furnish insights into the success of the predictions from our model. Finally, we employ the machine learning model developed here to real-world data sets.

Chimera and Solitary states have captivated scientists and engineers due to their peculiar dynamical states corresponding to the co-existence of coherent and incoherent dynamical evolution in coupled units in various natural and artificial systems. It has been further demonstrated that such states can be engineered in systems of coupled oscillators by the suitable implementation of communication delays. Here, using supervised machine learning, we predict (a) the precise value of delay which is sufficient for engineering chimera and solitary states for a given set of system parameters, as well as (b) the intensity of incoherence for such engineered states. The results are demonstrated for two different examples consisting of single layer and multi layer networks. First, the chimera states (solitary states) are engineered by establishing delays in the neighboring links of a node (the interlayer links) in a 2-D lattice (multiplex network) of oscillators. Then, different machine learning classifiers, KNN, SVM and MLP-Neural Network are employed by feeding the data obtained from the network models. Once a machine learning model is trained using a limited amount of data, it makes predictions for a given unknown systems parameter values. Testing accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity analysis reveal that MLP-NN classifier is better suited than Knn or SVM classifier for the predictions of parameters values for engineered chimera and solitary states. The technique provides an easy methodology to predict critical delay values as well as the intensity of incoherence for designing an experimental setup to create solitary and chimera states.
