Soft measurement modeling is suitable for stable and accurate monitoring of air pollutants and improving air quality. Based on partial least squares (PLS), we propose an indoor air quality prediction model that utilizes variational auto-encoder regression (VAER) algorithm. To reduce the negative effects of noise, latent variables in the original data are extracted by PLS in the first step. Then, the extracted variables are used as inputs to VAER, which improve the accuracy and robustness of the model. Through comparative analysis with traditional methods, we demonstrate the superior performance of our PLS-VAER model, which exhibits improved prediction performance and stability. The root mean square error (RMSE) of PLS-VAER is reduced by 14.71%, 26.47%, and 12.50% compared to single VAER, PLS-SVR, and PLS-ANN, respectively. Additionally, the coefficient of determination (R2) of PLS-VAER improves by 13.70%, 30.09%, and 11.25% compared to single VAER, PLS-SVR, and PLS-ANN, respectively. This research offers an innovative and environmentally-friendly approach to monitor and improve indoor air quality.展开更多

文摘Satellite altimetry missions at high latitude have opened new avenues for understanding the changes occurring over the ice-covered region.By incorporating Arctic satellite remote sensing data-including sea surface temperature(SST),sea surface height anomaly(SSHA),and sea surface salinity(SSS).This study employs a variational method to reconstruct the three-dimensional thermohaline structure of the Arctic Ocean.Compared to the Regional Arctic Reanalysis(RARE),the reconstruction well captures both the horizontal and vertical temperature and salinity structures in the Arctic.It demonstrates superior skill over RARE,when compared with Argo profiles and Ice-Tethered Profiler(ITP)observations.The reconstruction is particularly effective in ice-covered regions,where it more accurately captures the transition from Pacific water to Atlantic water compared to RARE.These findings underscore the potential of applying Arctic satellite data to reconstruct vertical thermohaline structures in the Arctic,particularly in areas due to lack of the subsurface observation reanalysis data exhibit significant biases.As Arctic satellite observations continue to advance,the applications of this method are becoming increasingly promising,which is useful for monitoring the ice-covered region environment and can be applied to oceanographic research.

文摘To solve the Poisson equation it is usually possible to discretize it into solving the corresponding linear system Ax=b.Variational quantum algorithms(VQAs)for the discretized Poisson equation have been studied before.We present a VQA based on the banded Toeplitz systems for solving the Poisson equation with respect to the structural features of matrix A.In detail,we decompose the matrices A and A^(2)into a linear combination of the corresponding banded Toeplitz matrix and sparse matrices with only a few non-zero elements.For the one-dimensional Poisson equation with different boundary conditions and the d-dimensional Poisson equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions,the number of decomposition terms is less than that reported in[Phys.Rev.A 2023108,032418].Based on the decomposition of the matrix,we design quantum circuits that efficiently evaluate the cost function.Additionally,numerical simulation verifies the feasibility of the proposed algorithm.Finally,the VQAs for linear systems of equations and matrix-vector multiplications with the K-banded Toeplitz matrix T_(n)^(K)are given,where T_(n)^(K)∈R^(n×n)and K∈O(ploylogn).

文摘Since the concept of quantum information masking was proposed by Modi et al(2018 Phys.Rev.Lett.120,230501),many interesting and significant results have been reported,both theoretically and experimentally.However,designing a quantum information masker is not an easy task,especially for larger systems.In this paper,we propose a variational quantum algorithm to resolve this problem.Specifically,our algorithm is a hybrid quantum-classical model,where the quantum device with adjustable parameters tries to mask quantum information and the classical device evaluates the performance of the quantum device and optimizes its parameters.After optimization,the quantum device behaves as an optimal masker.The loss value during optimization can be used to characterize the performance of the masker.In particular,if the loss value converges to zero,we obtain a perfect masker that completely masks the quantum information generated by the quantum information source,otherwise,the perfect masker does not exist and the subsystems always contain the original information.Nevertheless,these resulting maskers are still optimal.Quantum parallelism is utilized to reduce quantum state preparations and measurements.Our study paves the way for wide application of quantum information masking,and some of the techniques used in this study may have potential applications in quantum information processing.

文摘The aerial deployment method enables Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)to be directly positioned at the required altitude for their mission.This method typically employs folding technology to improve loading efficiency,with applications such as the gravity-only aerial deployment of high-aspect-ratio solar-powered UAVs,and aerial takeoff of fixed-wing drones in Mars research.However,the significant morphological changes during deployment are accompanied by strong nonlinear dynamic aerodynamic forces,which result in multiple degrees of freedom and an unstable character.This hinders the description and analysis of unknown dynamic behaviors,further leading to difficulties in the design of deployment strategies and flight control.To address this issue,this paper proposes an analysis method for dynamic behaviors during aerial deployment based on the Variational Autoencoder(VAE).Focusing on the gravity-only deployment problem of highaspect-ratio foldable-wing UAVs,the method encodes the multi-degree-of-freedom unstable motion signals into a low-dimensional feature space through a data-driven approach.By clustering in the feature space,this paper identifies and studies several dynamic behaviors during aerial deployment.The research presented in this paper offers a new method and perspective for feature extraction and analysis of complex and difficult-to-describe extreme flight dynamics,guiding the research on aerial deployment drones design and control strategies.

文摘Engineering tests can yield inaccurate data due to instrument errors,human factors,and environmental interference,introducing uncertainty in numerical model updating.This study employs the probability-box(p-box)method for representing observational uncertainty and develops a two-step approximate Bayesian computation(ABC)framework using time-series data.Within the ABC framework,Euclidean and Bhattacharyya distances are employed as uncertainty quantification metrics to delineate approximate likelihood functions in the initial and subsequent steps,respectively.A novel variational Bayesian Monte Carlo method is introduced to efficiently apply the ABC framework amidst observational uncertainty,resulting in rapid convergence and accurate parameter estimation with minimal iterations.The efficacy of the proposed updating strategy is validated by its application to a shear frame model excited by seismic wave and an aviation pump force sensor for thermal output analysis.The results affirm the efficiency,robustness,and practical applicability of the proposed method.

文摘Geochemical survey data are essential across Earth Science disciplines but are often affected by noise,which can obscure important geological signals and compromise subsequent prediction and interpretation.Quantifying prediction uncertainty is hence crucial for robust geoscientific decision-making.This study proposes a novel deep learning framework,the Spatially Constrained Variational Autoencoder(SC-VAE),for denoising geochemical survey data with integrated uncertainty quantification.The SC-VAE incorporates spatial regularization,which enforces spatial coherence by modeling inter-sample relationships directly within the latent space.The performance of the SC-VAE was systematically evaluated against a standard Variational Autoencoder(VAE)using geochemical data from the gold polymetallic district in the northwestern part of Sichuan Province,China.Both models were optimized using Bayesian optimization,with objective functions specifically designed to maintain essential geostatistical characteristics.Evaluation metrics include variogram analysis,quantitative measures of spatial interpolation accuracy,visual assessment of denoised maps,and statistical analysis of data distributions,as well as decomposition of uncertainties.Results show that the SC-VAE achieves superior noise suppression and better preservation of spatial structure compared to the standard VAE,as demonstrated by a significant reduction in the variogram nugget effect and an increased partial sill.The SC-VAE produces denoised maps with clearer anomaly delineation and more regularized data distributions,effectively mitigating outliers and reducing kurtosis.Additionally,it delivers improved interpolation accuracy and spatially explicit uncertainty estimates,facilitating more reliable and interpretable assessments of prediction confidence.The SC-VAE framework thus provides a robust,geostatistically informed solution for enhancing the quality and interpretability of geochemical data,with broad applicability in mineral exploration,environmental geochemistry,and other Earth Science domains.

文摘We investigate dynamical quantum phase transitions(DQPTs)in Marko-vian open quantum systems using a variational quantum simulation(VQS)algorithm based on quantum state diffusion(QSD).This approach reformulates the Lindblad master equation as an ensemble of pure-state trajectories,enabling efficient simula-tion of dissipative quantum dynam-ics with effectively reduced quantum resources.Focusing on the one-di-mensional transverse-field Ising mod-el(TFIM),we simulate quench dynamics under both local and global Lindblad dissipation.The QSD-VQS algorithm accurately captures the nonanalytic cusps in the Loschmidt rate function,and reveals their modulation by dissipation strength and system size.Notably,DQPTs are gradually suppressed under strong local dissipation,while they persist under strong global dissipation due to collective environmental effects.Benchmarking against exact Lindblad solutions confirms the high accuracy and scalability of our method.

文摘A distributed bearing-only target tracking algorithm based on variational Bayesian inference(VBI)under random measurement anomalies is proposed for the problem of adverse effect of random measurement anomalies on the state estimation accuracy of moving targets in bearing-only tracking scenarios.Firstly,the measurement information of each sensor is complemented by using triangulation under the distributed framework.Secondly,the Student-t distribution is selected to model the measurement likelihood probability density function,and the joint posteriori probability density function of the estimated variables is approximately decoupled by VBI.Finally,the estimation results of each local filter are sent to the fusion center and fed back to each local filter.The simulation results show that the proposed distributed bearing-only target tracking algorithm based on VBI in the presence of abnormal measurement noise comprehensively considers the influence of system nonlinearity and random anomaly of measurement noise,and has higher estimation accuracy and robustness than other existing algorithms in the above scenarios.

文摘In open quantum systems,the Liouvillian gap characterizes the relaxation time toward the steady state.However,accurately computing this quantity is notoriously difficult due to the exponential growth of the Hilbert space and the non-Hermitian nature of the Liouvillian superoperator.In this work,we propose a variational quantum algorithm for efficiently estimating the Liouvillian gap.By utilizing the Choi-Jamio lkowski isomorphism,we reformulate the problem as finding the first excitation energy of an effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian.Our method employs variance minimization with an orthogonality constraint to locate the first excited state and adopts a two-stage optimization scheme to enhance convergence.Moreover,to address scenarios with degenerate steady states,we introduce an iterative energy-offset scanning technique.Numerical simulations on the dissipative XXZ model confirm the accuracy and robustness of our algorithm across a range of system sizes and dissipation strengths.These results demonstrate the promise of variational quantum algorithms for simulating open quantum many-body systems on near-term quantum hardware.

文摘The sea surface wind field is an important physical parameter in oceanography and meteorology.With the continuous refinement of numerical weather prediction,air-sea interface materials,energy exchange,and other studies,three-dimensional(3D)wind field distribution at local locations on the sea surface must be measured accurately.The current in-situ observation of sea surface wind parameters is mainly achieved through the installation of wind sensors on ocean data buoys.However,the results obtained from this single-point measurement method cannot reflect wind field distribution in a vertical direction above the sea surface.Thus,the present paper proposes a theoretical framework for the optimal inversion of the 3D wind field structure variation in the area where the buoy is located.The variation analysis method is first used to reconstruct the wind field distribution at different heights of the buoy,after which theoretical analysis verification and numerical simulation experiments are conducted.The results indicate that the use of variational methods to reconstruct 3D wind fields is significantly effective in eliminating disturbance errors in observations,which also verifies the correctness of the theoretical analysis of this method.The findings of this article can provide a reference for the layout optimization design of wind measuring instruments in buoy observation systems and also provide theoretical guidance for the design of new observation buoys in the future.

文摘The heterogeneous variational nodal method(HVNM)has emerged as a potential approach for solving high-fidelity neutron transport problems.However,achieving accurate results with HVNM in large-scale problems using high-fidelity models has been challenging due to the prohibitive computational costs.This paper presents an efficient parallel algorithm tailored for HVNM based on the Message Passing Interface standard.The algorithm evenly distributes the response matrix sets among processors during the matrix formation process,thus enabling independent construction without communication.Once the formation tasks are completed,a collective operation merges and shares the matrix sets among the processors.For the solution process,the problem domain is decomposed into subdomains assigned to specific processors,and the red-black Gauss-Seidel iteration is employed within each subdomain to solve the response matrix equation.Point-to-point communication is conducted between adjacent subdomains to exchange data along the boundaries.The accuracy and efficiency of the parallel algorithm are verified using the KAIST and JRR-3 test cases.Numerical results obtained with multiple processors agree well with those obtained from Monte Carlo calculations.The parallelization of HVNM results in eigenvalue errors of 31 pcm/-90 pcm and fission rate RMS errors of 1.22%/0.66%,respectively,for the 3D KAIST problem and the 3D JRR-3 problem.In addition,the parallel algorithm significantly reduces computation time,with an efficiency of 68.51% using 36 processors in the KAIST problem and 77.14% using 144 processors in the JRR-3 problem.
