First, a non-negative tensor factorization（NTF） algorithm is improved by imposing sparseness constraints on it.

Thirdly, the improved algorithm is used to extract features, which are represented by a series of basis images from this tensor. Finally, coefficients indicating these basis images＇ weights in constituting original bispectral images are calculated for fault classification. Experiments on fault diagnosis of gearboxes show that the extracted features can not only reveal some nonlinear characteristics of the system, but also have intuitive meanings with regard to fault characteristic frequencies.

文摘Early fault detection for spiral bevel gears is crucial to ensure normal operation and prevent accidents.The harmonic components,excited by the time-varying mesh stiffness,always appear in measured vibration signal.How to extract the periodical impulses that indicate gear localized fault buried in the intensive noise and interfered by harmonics is a challenging task.In this paper,a novel Periodical Sparse-Assisted Decoupling(PSAD)method is proposed as an optimization problem to extract fault feature from noisy vibration signal.The PSAD method decouples the impulsive fault feature and harmonic components based on the sparse representation method.The sparsity within and across groups property and the periodicity of the fault feature are incorporated into the regularizer as the prior information.The nonconvex penalty is employed to highlight the sparsity of fault features.Meanwhile,the weight factor based on2norm of each group is constructed to strengthen the amplitude of fault feature.An iterative algorithm with Majorization-Minimization(MM)is derived to solve the optimization problem.Simulation study and experimental analysis confirm the performance of the proposed PSAD method in extracting and enhancing defect impulses from noisy signal.The suggested method surpasses other comparative methods in extracting and enhancing fault features.

文摘Traditional multivariate parametric control charts often perform inadequately in detecting shifts in the covariance matrix when the data deviate from normality.In this paper,we propose a multivariate nonparametric exponentially weighted moving average(SGLGEWMA)control chart,incorporating a Sparse Group Lasso penalty,which is capable of detecting shifts in the covariance matrix across a wide range of data types,including discrete,continuous,and mixed distributions.The proposed approach projects multivariate data into a Euclidean space and then computes an approximate Alt’s likelihood ratio,regularized via the Sparse Group Lasso.The resulting EWMA statistic monitors process shifts.Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that SGLGEWMA outperforms both the Lasso-based LGShewhart and the Ridge-based RGEWMA control charts under various distributions,with enhanced efficacy in high-dimensional scenarios.Sensitivity analyses are performed on the tuning parameters(λ_(1),λ_(2))and smoothing parameterρ,to evaluate their impact on monitoring performance.Additionally,a simulation study and an illustrative example involving covariance monitoring in wafer semiconductor manufacturing are presented to demonstrate the practical application of the proposed chart.Empirical results confirm that the proposed control chart promptly identifies abnormal fluctuations and issues timely alerts,highlighting both its theoretical significance and practical utility.
文摘Multi-label feature selection(MFS)is a crucial dimensionality reduction technique aimed at identifying informative features associated with multiple labels.However,traditional centralized methods face significant challenges in privacy-sensitive and distributed settings,often neglecting label dependencies and suffering from low computational efficiency.To address these issues,we introduce a novel framework,Fed-MFSDHBCPSO—federated MFS via dual-layer hybrid breeding cooperative particle swarm optimization algorithm with manifold and sparsity regularization(DHBCPSO-MSR).Leveraging the federated learning paradigm,Fed-MFSDHBCPSO allows clients to perform local feature selection(FS)using DHBCPSO-MSR.Locally selected feature subsets are encrypted with differential privacy(DP)and transmitted to a central server,where they are securely aggregated and refined through secure multi-party computation(SMPC)until global convergence is achieved.Within each client,DHBCPSO-MSR employs a dual-layer FS strategy.The inner layer constructs sample and label similarity graphs,generates Laplacian matrices to capture the manifold structure between samples and labels,and applies L2,1-norm regularization to sparsify the feature subset,yielding an optimized feature weight matrix.The outer layer uses a hybrid breeding cooperative particle swarm optimization algorithm to further refine the feature weight matrix and identify the optimal feature subset.The updated weight matrix is then fed back to the inner layer for further optimization.Comprehensive experiments on multiple real-world multi-label datasets demonstrate that Fed-MFSDHBCPSO consistently outperforms both centralized and federated baseline methods across several key evaluation metrics.

文摘To address the issue of inconsistent image quality and data scarcity in bolt defect detection for transmission lines,this paper proposes an improved sparse region-based convolutional neural network(RCNN) based detection framework integrating image quality evaluation and text-to-image data augmentation.First,a HyperNetwork-based image quality assessment module is introduced to filter low-quality inspection images in terms of clarity and structural integrity,resulting in a high-quality training dataset.Second,a text-to-image diffusion model is utilized for sample augmentation.By designing text prompts that describe various bolt defect types under diverse lighting and viewing conditions,the model automatically generates realistic synthetic samples.The generated images are further filtered using a combination of quality and perceptual similarity metrics to ensure consistency with the real data distribution.Building upon the sparse RCNN baseline,a dynamic label assignment mechanism and a random decision path detection head are incorporated to enhance bounding box matching and prediction accuracy.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves detection accuracy(mAP@0.5) over the original sparse RCNN while maintaining low computational cost,enabling more efficient and intelligent inspection of transmission line components.
文摘The internal flow fields within a three-dimensional inward-tunning combined inlet are extremely complex,especially during the engine mode transition,where the tunnel changes may impact the flow fields significantly.To develop an efficient flow field reconstruction model for this,we present an Improved Conditional Denoising Diffusion Generative Adversarial Network(ICDDGAN),which integrates Conditional Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models(CDDPMs)with Style GAN,and introduce a reconstruction discrimination mechanism and dynamic loss weight learning strategy.We establish the Mach number flow field dataset by numerical simulation at various backpressures for the mode transition process from turbine mode to ejector ramjet mode at Mach number 2.5.The proposed ICDDGAN model,given only sparse parameter information,can rapidly generate high-quality Mach number flow fields without a large number of samples for training.The results show that ICDDGAN is superior to CDDGAN in terms of training convergence and stability.Moreover,the interpolation and extrapolation test results during backpressure conditions show that ICDDGAN can accurately and quickly reconstruct Mach number fields at various tunnel slice shapes,with a Structural Similarity Index Measure(SSIM)of over 0.96 and a Mean-Square Error(MSE)of 0.035%to actual flow fields,reducing time costs by 7-8 orders of magnitude compared to Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)calculations.This can provide an efficient means for rapid computation of complex flow fields.

文摘Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cells in the central nervous system.They perform a diverse array of functions,with a critical role in structural integrity,synapse formation,and neurotransmission.These cells exhibit substantial regional heterogeneity and display variable responses to different neurological diseases.Such diversity in astrocyte morphology and function is essential for understanding both normal brain function and the underlying mechanisms of neurological disorders.To investigate this heterogeneity,we developed a novel method for the selective and sparse labeling of astrocytes in various brain regions.This technique utilizes a dual adeno-associated virus system that allows for the expression of Cre recombinase and enhanced green fluorescent protein under the control of the glial fibrillary acidic protein(GfaABC1D)promoter.The system was tested in C57BL/6J mice and successfully labeled astrocytes across multiple brain regions.The method enabled the detailed visualization of individual astrocytes-including their intricate peripheral processes-through three-dimensional reconstructions from confocal microscopy images.Furthermore,the labeling efficiency of this dual adeno-associated virus technology was validated by examining astrocyte function in a spared nerve injury model and through chemogenetic modulation.This innovative approach holds great promise for future research because it enables a more comprehensive understanding of astrocyte variation not only in spared nerve injury but also in a broad spectrum of neurological diseases.The ability to selectively label and study astrocytes in different brain regions provides a powerful tool for exploring the complexities of these essential cells and their roles in physiological and pathological conditions.

文摘In recent years,deeps learning has been widely applied in synthetic aperture radar(SAR)image processing.However,the collection of large-scale labeled SAR images is challenging and costly,and the classification accuracy is often poor when only limited SAR images are available.To address this issue,we propose a novel framework for sparse SAR target classification under few-shot cases,termed the transfer learning-based interpretable lightweight convolutional neural network(TL-IL-CNN).Additionally,we employ enhanced gradient-weighted class activation mapping(Grad-CAM)to mitigate the“black box”effect often associated with deep learning models and to explore the mechanisms by which a CNN classifies various sparse SAR targets.Initially,we apply a novel bidirectional iterative soft thresholding(BiIST)algorithm to generate sparse images of superior quality compared to those produced by traditional matched filtering(MF)techniques.Subsequently,we pretrain multiple shallow CNNs on a simulated SAR image dataset.Using the sparse SAR dataset as input for the CNNs,we assess the efficacy of transfer learning in sparse SAR target classification and suggest the integration of TL-IL-CNN to enhance the classification accuracy further.Finally,Grad-CAM is utilized to provide visual explanations for the predictions made by the classification framework.The experimental results on the MSTAR dataset reveal that the proposed TL-IL-CNN achieves nearly 90%classification accuracy with only 20%of the training data required under standard operating conditions(SOC),surpassing typical deep learning methods such as vision Transformer(ViT)in the context of small samples.Remarkably,it even presents better performance under extended operating conditions(EOC).Furthermore,the application of Grad-CAM elucidates the CNN’s differentiation process among various sparse SAR targets.The experiments indicate that the model focuses on the target and the background can differ among target classes.The study contributes to an enhanced understanding of the interpretability of such results and enables us to infer the classification outcomes for each category more accurately.

文摘The 2025 M_(w)7.7 Myanmar earthquake highlighted the challenge of near-fault seismic intensity field reconstruction due to sparse seismic networks.To address this limitation,a framework was proposed integrating seismic wave simulation with a data-constrained finite-fault rupture model.The constraint is implemented by identifying the optimal ground motion models(GMMs)through a scoring system that selects the best-fit GMMs to mid-and far-field China Earthquake Networks Center(CENC)seismic network data;and applying the optimal GMMs to refine the rupture model parameters for near-fault intensity field simulation.The simulated near-fault seismic intensity field reproduces seismic intensities collected from Myanmar’s sparse seismic network and concentrated in≥Ⅷintensity zones within 50 km of the projected fault plane;and identifies abnormal intensity regions exhibiting≥Ⅹintensity along the Meiktila-Naypyidaw corridor and near Shwebo that are attributed to soft soil amplification effects and near-fault directivity.This framework can also be applied to post-earthquake assessments in other similar regions.

文摘To realize effective co-phasing adjustment in large-aperture sparse-aperture telescopes,a multichannel stripe tracking approach is employed,allowing simultaneous interferometric measurements of multiple optical paths and circumventing the need for pairwise measurements along the mirror boundaries in traditional interferometric methods.This approach enhances detection efficiency and reduces system complexity.Here,the principles of the multibeam interference process and construction of a co-phasing detection module based on direct optical fiber connections were analyzed using wavefront optics theory.Error analysis was conducted on the system surface obtained through multipath interference.Potential applications of the interferometric method were explored.Finally,the principle was verified by experiment,an interferometric fringe contrast better than 0.4 is achieved through flat field calibration and incoherent digital synthesis.The dynamic range of the measurement exceeds 10 times of the center wavelength of the working band(1550 nm).Moreover,a resolution better than one-tenth of the working center wavelength(1550 nm)was achieved.Simultaneous three-beam interference can be achieved,leading to a 50%improvement in detection efficiency.This method can effectively enhance the efficiency of sparse aperture telescope co-phasing,meeting the requirements for observations of 8-10 m telescopes.This study provides a technological foundation for observing distant and faint celestial objects.

文摘This paper explores the recovery of block sparse signals in frame-based settings using the l_(2)/l_(q)-synthesis technique(0<q≤1).We propose a new null space property,referred to as block D-NSP_(q),which is based on the dictionary D.We establish that matrices adhering to the block D-NSP_(q)condition are both necessary and sufficient for the exact recovery of block sparse signals via l_(2)/l_(q)-synthesis.Additionally,this condition is essential for the stable recovery of signals that are block-compressible with respect to D.This D-NSP_(q)property is identified as the first complete condition for successful signal recovery using l_(2)/l_(q)-synthesis.Furthermore,we assess the theoretical efficacy of the l2/lq-synthesis method under conditions of measurement noise.

文摘Piezo actuators are widely used in ultra-precision fields because of their high response and nano-scale step length.However,their hysteresis characteristics seriously affect the accuracy and stability of piezo actuators.Existing methods for fitting hysteresis loops include operator class,differential equation class,and machine learning class.The modeling cost of operator class and differential equation class methods is high,the model complexity is high,and the process of machine learning,such as neural network calculation,is opaque.The physical model framework cannot be directly extracted.Therefore,the sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics(SINDy)algorithm is proposed to fit hysteresis loops.Furthermore,the SINDy algorithm is improved.While the SINDy algorithm builds an orthogonal candidate database for modeling,the sparse regression model is simplified,and the Relay operator is introduced for piecewise fitting to solve the distortion problem of the SINDy algorithm fitting singularities.The Relay-SINDy algorithm proposed in this paper is applied to fitting hysteresis loops.Good performance is obtained with the experimental results of open and closed loops.Compared with the existing methods,the modeling cost and model complexity are reduced,and the modeling accuracy of the hysteresis loop is improved.
文摘In this paper,a sparse graph neural network-aided(SGNN-aided)decoder is proposed for improving the decoding performance of polar codes under bursty interference.Firstly,a sparse factor graph is constructed using the encoding characteristic to achieve high-throughput polar decoding.To further improve the decoding performance,a residual gated bipartite graph neural network is designed for updating embedding vectors of heterogeneous nodes based on a bidirectional message passing neural network.This framework exploits gated recurrent units and residual blocks to address the gradient disappearance in deep graph recurrent neural networks.Finally,predictions are generated by feeding the embedding vectors into a readout module.Simulation results show that the proposed decoder is more robust than the existing ones in the presence of bursty interference and exhibits high universality.
