We propose a novel method of 4D anti-aliasing and anti-leakage Fourier transform using a cube-removal strategy to address the combination of irregular sampling and aliasing in high-dimensional seismic data. We compute a weighting function by stacking the spectrum along the radial lines, apply this function to suppress the aliasing energy, and then iteratively pick the dominant amplitude cube to construct the Fourier spectrum. The proposed method is very efficient due to a cube removal strategy for accelerating the convergence of Fourier reconstruction and a well-designed parallel architecture using CPU/GPU collaborative computing. To better fill the acquisition holes from 5D seismic data and meanwhile considering the GPU memory limitation, we developed the anti-aliasing and anti-leakage Fourier transform method in 4D with the remaining spatial dimension looped. The entire workflow is composed of three steps: data splitting, 4D regularization, and data merging. Numerical tests on both synthetic and field data examples demonstrate the high efficiency and effectiveness of our approach.展开更多

A latent factor analysis(LFA) model is capable of conducting efficient representation learning to an HDI matrix,whose hyper-parameter adaptation can be implemented through a particle swarm optimizer(PSO) to meet scalable requirements.However, conventional PSO is limited by its premature issues,which leads to the accuracy loss of a resultant LFA model. To address this thorny issue, this study merges the information of each particle's state migration into its evolution process following the principle of a generalized momentum method for improving its search ability, thereby building a state-migration particle swarm optimizer(SPSO), whose theoretical convergence is rigorously proved in this study. It is then incorporated into an LFA model for implementing efficient hyper-parameter adaptation without accuracy loss. Experiments on six HDI matrices indicate that an SPSO-incorporated LFA model outperforms state-of-the-art LFA models in terms of prediction accuracy for missing data of an HDI matrix with competitive computational efficiency.Hence, SPSO's use ensures efficient and reliable hyper-parameter adaptation in an LFA model, thus ensuring practicality and accurate representation learning for HDI matrices.展开更多

In real applications, data are frequently influenced by high dimensions and noise. However, most relevant studies are based on complete data. This paper studies the optimal estimation of high-dimensional covariance matrices based on missing and noisy sample under the norm. First, the model with sub-Gaussian additive noise is presented. The generalized sample covariance is then modified to define a hard thresholding estimator , and the minimax upper bound is derived. After that, the minimax lower bound is derived, and it is concluded that the estimator presented in this article is rate-optimal. Finally, numerical simulation analysis is performed. The result shows that for missing samples with sub-Gaussian noise, if the true covariance matrix is sparse, the hard thresholding estimator outperforms the traditional estimate method.展开更多

The idea of guaranteed cost con trol is introduced into consensus problems for high-dimensiona multi-agent systems with time-varying delays, where a cos function is defined based on state errors among neighboring agents and control inputs of all the agents. By the state space decomposition approach and the linear matrix inequality(LMI)sufficient conditions for guaranteed cost consensus and consensu alization are given. Moreover, a guaranteed cost upper bound o the cost function is determined. It should be mentioned that these LMI criteria are dependent on the change rate of time delays and the maximum time delay, the guaranteed cost upper bound is only dependent on the maximum time delay but independen of the Laplacian matrix. Finally, numerical simulations are given to demonstrate theoretical results.展开更多

文摘Speech emotion recognition(SER)uses acoustic analysis to find features for emotion recognition and examines variations in voice that are caused by emotions.The number of features acquired with acoustic analysis is extremely high,so we introduce a hybrid filter-wrapper feature selection algorithm based on an improved equilibrium optimizer for constructing an emotion recognition system.The proposed algorithm implements multi-objective emotion recognition with the minimum number of selected features and maximum accuracy.First,we use the information gain and Fisher Score to sort the features extracted from signals.Then,we employ a multi-objective ranking method to evaluate these features and assign different importance to them.Features with high rankings have a large probability of being selected.Finally,we propose a repair strategy to address the problem of duplicate solutions in multi-objective feature selection,which can improve the diversity of solutions and avoid falling into local traps.Using random forest and K-nearest neighbor classifiers,four English speech emotion datasets are employed to test the proposed algorithm(MBEO)as well as other multi-objective emotion identification techniques.The results illustrate that it performs well in inverted generational distance,hypervolume,Pareto solutions,and execution time,and MBEO is appropriate for high-dimensional English SER.

文摘In this paper,we introduce the censored composite conditional quantile coefficient(cC-CQC)to rank the relative importance of each predictor in high-dimensional censored regression.The cCCQC takes advantage of all useful information across quantiles and can detect nonlinear effects including interactions and heterogeneity,effectively.Furthermore,the proposed screening method based on cCCQC is robust to the existence of outliers and enjoys the sure screening property.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method performs competitively on survival datasets of high-dimensional predictors,particularly when the variables are highly correlated.

文摘With the increasing dimensionality of the data,High-dimensional Feature Selection(HFS)becomes an increasingly dif-ficult task.It is not simple to find the best subset of features due to the breadth of the search space and the intricacy of the interactions between features.Many of the Feature Selection(FS)approaches now in use for these problems perform sig-nificantly less well when faced with such intricate situations involving high-dimensional search spaces.It is demonstrated that meta-heuristic algorithms can provide sub-optimal results in an acceptable amount of time.This paper presents a new binary Boosted version of the Spider Wasp Optimizer(BSWO)called Binary Boosted SWO(BBSWO),which combines a number of successful and promising strategies,in order to deal with HFS.The shortcomings of the original BSWO,including early convergence,settling into local optimums,limited exploration and exploitation,and lack of population diversity,were addressed by the proposal of this new variant of SWO.The concept of chaos optimization is introduced in BSWO,where initialization is consistently produced by utilizing the properties of sine chaos mapping.A new convergence parameter was then incorporated into BSWO to achieve a promising balance between exploration and exploitation.Multiple exploration mechanisms were then applied in conjunction with several exploitation strategies to effectively enrich the search process of BSWO within the search space.Finally,quantum-based optimization was added to enhance the diversity of the search agents in BSWO.The proposed BBSWO not only offers the most suitable subset of features located,but it also lessens the data's redundancy structure.BBSWO was evaluated using the k-Nearest Neighbor(k-NN)classifier on 23 HFS problems from the biomedical domain taken from the UCI repository.The results were compared with those of traditional BSWO and other well-known meta-heuristics-based FS.The findings indicate that,in comparison to other competing techniques,the proposed BBSWO can,on average,identify the least significant subsets of features with efficient classification accuracy of the k-NN classifier.

文摘High-dimensional and incomplete(HDI) matrices are primarily generated in all kinds of big-data-related practical applications. A latent factor analysis(LFA) model is capable of conducting efficient representation learning to an HDI matrix,whose hyper-parameter adaptation can be implemented through a particle swarm optimizer(PSO) to meet scalable requirements.However, conventional PSO is limited by its premature issues,which leads to the accuracy loss of a resultant LFA model. To address this thorny issue, this study merges the information of each particle's state migration into its evolution process following the principle of a generalized momentum method for improving its search ability, thereby building a state-migration particle swarm optimizer(SPSO), whose theoretical convergence is rigorously proved in this study. It is then incorporated into an LFA model for implementing efficient hyper-parameter adaptation without accuracy loss. Experiments on six HDI matrices indicate that an SPSO-incorporated LFA model outperforms state-of-the-art LFA models in terms of prediction accuracy for missing data of an HDI matrix with competitive computational efficiency.Hence, SPSO's use ensures efficient and reliable hyper-parameter adaptation in an LFA model, thus ensuring practicality and accurate representation learning for HDI matrices.

文摘It is still a huge challenge for traditional Pareto-dominatedmany-objective optimization algorithms to solve manyobjective optimization problems because these algorithms hardly maintain the balance between convergence and diversity and can only find a group of solutions focused on a small area on the Pareto front,resulting in poor performance of those algorithms.For this reason,we propose a reference vector-assisted algorithmwith an adaptive niche dominance relation,for short MaOEA-AR.The new dominance relation forms a niche based on the angle between candidate solutions.By comparing these solutions,the solutionwith the best convergence is found to be the non-dominated solution to improve the selection pressure.In reproduction,a mutation strategy of k-bit crossover and hybrid mutation is used to generate high-quality offspring.On 23 test problems with up to 15-objective,we compared the proposed algorithm with five state-of-the-art algorithms.The experimental results verified that the proposed algorithm is competitive.
文摘The estimation of covariance matrices is very important in many fields, such as statistics. In real applications, data are frequently influenced by high dimensions and noise. However, most relevant studies are based on complete data. This paper studies the optimal estimation of high-dimensional covariance matrices based on missing and noisy sample under the norm. First, the model with sub-Gaussian additive noise is presented. The generalized sample covariance is then modified to define a hard thresholding estimator , and the minimax upper bound is derived. After that, the minimax lower bound is derived, and it is concluded that the estimator presented in this article is rate-optimal. Finally, numerical simulation analysis is performed. The result shows that for missing samples with sub-Gaussian noise, if the true covariance matrix is sparse, the hard thresholding estimator outperforms the traditional estimate method.

文摘Guaranteed cost consensus analysis and design problems for high-dimensional multi-agent systems with time varying delays are investigated. The idea of guaranteed cost con trol is introduced into consensus problems for high-dimensiona multi-agent systems with time-varying delays, where a cos function is defined based on state errors among neighboring agents and control inputs of all the agents. By the state space decomposition approach and the linear matrix inequality(LMI)sufficient conditions for guaranteed cost consensus and consensu alization are given. Moreover, a guaranteed cost upper bound o the cost function is determined. It should be mentioned that these LMI criteria are dependent on the change rate of time delays and the maximum time delay, the guaranteed cost upper bound is only dependent on the maximum time delay but independen of the Laplacian matrix. Finally, numerical simulations are given to demonstrate theoretical results.

文摘Parallel multi-thread processing in advanced intelligent processors is the core to realize high-speed and high-capacity signal processing systems.Optical neural network(ONN)has the native advantages of high parallelization,large bandwidth,and low power consumption to meet the demand of big data.Here,we demonstrate the dual-layer ONN with Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI)network and nonlinear layer,while the nonlinear activation function is achieved by optical-electronic signal conversion.Two frequency components from the microcomb source carrying digit datasets are simultaneously imposed and intelligently recognized through the ONN.We successfully achieve the digit classification of different frequency components by demultiplexing the output signal and testing power distribution.Efficient parallelization feasibility with wavelength division multiplexing is demonstrated in our high-dimensional ONN.This work provides a high-performance architecture for future parallel high-capacity optical analog computing.

文摘The two-archive 2 algorithm(Two_Arch2) is a manyobjective evolutionary algorithm for balancing the convergence,diversity,and complexity using diversity archive(DA) and convergence archive(CA).However,the individuals in DA are selected based on the traditional Pareto dominance which decreases the selection pressure in the high-dimensional problems.The traditional algorithm even cannot converge due to the weak selection pressure.Meanwhile,Two_Arch2 adopts DA as the output of the algorithm which is hard to maintain diversity and coverage of the final solutions synchronously and increase the complexity of the algorithm.To increase the evolutionary pressure of the algorithm and improve distribution and convergence of the final solutions,an ε-domination based Two_Arch2 algorithm(ε-Two_Arch2) for many-objective problems(MaOPs) is proposed in this paper.In ε-Two_Arch2,to decrease the computational complexity and speed up the convergence,a novel evolutionary framework with a fast update strategy is proposed;to increase the selection pressure,ε-domination is assigned to update the individuals in DA;to guarantee the uniform distribution of the solution,a boundary protection strategy based on I_(ε+) indicator is designated as two steps selection strategies to update individuals in CA.To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm,a series of benchmark functions with different numbers of objectives is solved.The results demonstrate that the proposed method is competitive with the state-of-the-art multi-objective evolutionary algorithms and the efficiency of the algorithm is significantly improved compared with Two_Arch2.
