Physical modeling and interpretation of the transient dielectric function obtained from femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopic ellipsometry [1] poses a significant challenge, as it consists of many temporally and spectrally overlapping processes that need to be reliably separated to obtain stable and physically meaningful fit results. Ab-initio theory can help to separate these processes, but is not available for the whole time scale (≈100 fs to several ns) of the experiment, due to the associated computational costs.

To help overcome these challenges we investigate the use of dimensionality reduction techniques like dynamic mode decomposition and manifold learning methods like locally-linear embeddings and autoencoders to be applied I) in model approximation of the experimental data and II) on ab-initio results from time-dependent density functional theory to cover larger time scales. By this we identify strategies for a reliable modeling pipeline with minimal human intervention.
