📝 Abstract
Training effective foundation models requires massive and organized datasets, yet scientific domains such as nuclear fusion present unique challenges due to largely heterogeneous and sparse data. Here we characterize the data used in developing such a model: with over 20 sensor types spanning 5 orders of magnitude in sampling rate, mixed tensor structures (point measurements, spectrograms, images), and nonstationary physics. We analyze our input complexity and discuss trade-offs between temporal context and frequency resolution. Our analysis provides a template for representing multi-modal fluctuation data at scale, with implications for both multi-modal control systems and nuclear fusion.
