We derive the Alternating-Direction Implicit (ADI) method based on a commuting operator split and apply the results to the continuous time algebraic Lyapunov equation with low-rank constant term and approximate solution. Previously, it has been mandatory to start the low-rank ADI (LR-ADI) with an all-zero initial value. Our approach retains the known efficient iteration schemes of low-rank increments and residual to arbitrary low-rank initial values for the LR-ADI method. We further generalize some of the known properties of the LR-ADI for Lyapunov equations to larger classes of algorithms or problems. We investigate the performance of arbitrary initial values using two outer iterations in which LR-ADI is typically called. First, we solve an algebraic Riccati equation with the Newton method. Second, we solve a differential Riccati equation with a first-order Rosenbrock method. Numerical experiments confirm that the proposed new initial value of the alternating-directions implicit (ADI) can lead to a significant reduction in the total number of ADI steps, while also showing a 17% and 8x speed-up over the zero initial value for the two equation types, respectively.

We address the problem of the best uniform approximation of a continuous function on a convex domain. The approximation is by linear combinations of a finite system of functions (not necessarily Chebyshev) under arbitrary linear constraints. By modifying the concept of alternance and of the Remez iterative procedure we present a method, which demonstrates its efficiency in numerical problems. The linear rate of convergence is proved under some favourable assumptions. A special attention is paid to systems of complex exponents, Gaussian functions, lacunar algebraic and trigonometric polynomials. Applications to signal processing, linear ODE, switching dynamical systems, and to Markov-Bernstein type inequalities are considered.

An essential problem in statistics and machine learning is the estimation of expectations involving PDFs with intractable normalizing constants. The self-normalized importance sampling (SNIS) estimator, which normalizes the IS weights, has become the standard approach due to its simplicity. However, the SNIS has been shown to exhibit high variance in challenging estimation problems, e.g, involving rare events or posterior predictive distributions in Bayesian statistics. Further, most of the state-of-the-art adaptive importance sampling (AIS) methods adapt the proposal as if the weights had not been normalized. In this paper, we propose a framework that considers the original task as estimation of a ratio of two integrals. In our new formulation, we obtain samples from a joint proposal distribution in an extended space, with two of its marginals playing the role of proposals used to estimate each integral. Importantly, the framework allows us to induce and control a dependency between both estimators. We propose a construction of the joint proposal that decomposes in two (multivariate) marginals and a coupling. This leads to a two-stage framework suitable to be integrated with existing or new AIS and/or variational inference (VI) algorithms. The marginals are adapted in the first stage, while the coupling can be chosen and adapted in the second stage. We show in several examples the benefits of the proposed methodology, including an application to Bayesian prediction with misspecified models.

Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation (WSSS) employs weak supervision, such as image-level labels, to train the segmentation model. Despite the impressive achievement in recent WSSS methods, we identify that introducing weak labels with high mean Intersection of Union (mIoU) does not guarantee high segmentation performance. Existing studies have emphasized the importance of prioritizing precision and reducing noise to improve overall performance. In the same vein, we propose ORANDNet, an advanced ensemble approach tailored for WSSS. ORANDNet combines Class Activation Maps (CAMs) from two different classifiers to increase the precision of pseudo-masks (PMs). To further mitigate small noise in the PMs, we incorporate curriculum learning. This involves training the segmentation model initially with pairs of smaller-sized images and corresponding PMs, gradually transitioning to the original-sized pairs. By combining the original CAMs of ResNet-50 and ViT, we significantly improve the segmentation performance over the single-best model and the naive ensemble model, respectively. We further extend our ensemble method to CAMs from AMN (ResNet-like) and MCTformer (ViT-like) models, achieving performance benefits in advanced WSSS models. It highlights the potential of our ORANDNet as a final add-on module for WSSS models.

In the field of materials science and manufacturing, a vast amount of heterogeneous data exists, encompassing measurement and simulation data, machine data, publications, and more. This data serves as the bedrock of valuable knowledge that can be leveraged for various engineering applications. However, efficiently storing and handling such diverse data remain significantly challenging, often due to the lack of standardization and integration across different organizational units. Addressing these issues is crucial for fully utilizing the potential of data-driven approaches in these fields. In this paper, we present a novel technology stack named Dataspace Management System (DSMS) for powering dataspace solutions. The core of DSMS lies on its distinctive knowledge management approach tuned to meet the specific demands of the materials science and manufacturing domain, all while adhering to the FAIR principles. This includes data integration, linkage, exploration, visualization, processing, and enrichment, in order to support engineers in decision-making and in solving design and optimization problems. We provide an architectural overview and describe the core components of DSMS. Additionally, we demonstrate the applicability of DSMS to typical data processing tasks in materials science through use cases from two research projects, namely StahlDigital and KupferDigital, both part of the German MaterialDigital initiative.

In the study of extremes, the presence of asymptotic independence signifies that extreme events across multiple variables are probably less likely to occur together. Although well-understood in a bivariate context, the concept remains relatively unexplored when addressing the nuances of joint occurrence of extremes in higher dimensions. In this paper, we propose a notion of mutual asymptotic independence to capture the behavior of joint extremes in dimensions larger than two and contrast it with the classical notion of (pairwise) asymptotic independence. Furthermore, we define $k$-wise asymptotic independence which lies in between pairwise and mutual asymptotic independence. The concepts are compared using examples of Archimedean, Gaussian and Marshall-Olkin copulas among others. Notably, for the popular Gaussian copula, we provide explicit conditions on the correlation matrix for mutual asymptotic independence to hold; moreover, we are able to compute exact tail orders for various tail events.

The partial information decomposition (PID) aims to quantify the amount of redundant information that a set of sources provides about a target. Here, we show that this goal can be formulated as a type of information bottleneck (IB) problem, termed the "redundancy bottleneck" (RB). The RB formalizes a tradeoff between prediction and compression: it extracts information from the sources that best predict the target, without revealing which source provided the information. It can be understood as a generalization of "Blackwell redundancy", which we previously proposed as a principled measure of PID redundancy. The "RB curve" quantifies the prediction--compression tradeoff at multiple scales. This curve can also be quantified for individual sources, allowing subsets of redundant sources to be identified without combinatorial optimization. We provide an efficient iterative algorithm for computing the RB curve.

Replication of scientific studies is important for assessing the credibility of their results. However, there is no consensus on how to quantify the extent to which a replication study replicates an original result. We propose a novel Bayesian approach based on mixture priors. The idea is to use a mixture of the posterior distribution based on the original study and a non-informative distribution as the prior for the analysis of the replication study. The mixture weight then determines the extent to which the original and replication data are pooled. Two distinct strategies are presented: one with fixed mixture weights, and one that introduces uncertainty by assigning a prior distribution to the mixture weight itself. Furthermore, it is shown how within this framework Bayes factors can be used for formal testing of scientific hypotheses, such as tests regarding the presence or absence of an effect. To showcase the practical application of the methodology, we analyze data from three replication studies. Our findings suggest that mixture priors are a valuable and intuitive alternative to other Bayesian methods for analyzing replication studies, such as hierarchical models and power priors. We provide the free and open source R package repmix that implements the proposed methodology.

A non-linear complex system governed by multi-spatial and multi-temporal physics scales cannot be fully understood with a single diagnostic, as each provides only a partial view and much information is lost during data extraction. Combining multiple diagnostics also results in imperfect projections of the system's physics. By identifying hidden inter-correlations between diagnostics, we can leverage mutual support to fill in these gaps, but uncovering these inter-correlations analytically is too complex. We introduce a groundbreaking machine learning methodology to address this issue. Our multimodal approach generates super resolution data encompassing multiple physics phenomena, capturing detailed structural evolution and responses to perturbations previously unobservable. This methodology addresses a critical problem in fusion plasmas: the Edge Localized Mode (ELM), a plasma instability that can severely damage reactor walls. One method to stabilize ELM is using resonant magnetic perturbation to trigger magnetic islands. However, low spatial and temporal resolution of measurements limits the analysis of these magnetic islands due to their small size, rapid dynamics, and complex interactions within the plasma. With super-resolution diagnostics, we can experimentally verify theoretical models of magnetic islands for the first time, providing unprecedented insights into their role in ELM stabilization. This advancement aids in developing effective ELM suppression strategies for future fusion reactors like ITER and has broader applications, potentially revolutionizing diagnostics in fields such as astronomy, astrophysics, and medical imaging.

This research presents a comprehensive approach to predicting the duration of traffic incidents and classifying them as short-term or long-term across the Sydney Metropolitan Area. Leveraging a dataset that encompasses detailed records of traffic incidents, road network characteristics, and socio-economic indicators, we train and evaluate a variety of advanced machine learning models including Gradient Boosted Decision Trees (GBDT), Random Forest, LightGBM, and XGBoost. The models are assessed using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) for regression tasks and F1 score for classification tasks. Our experimental results demonstrate that XGBoost and LightGBM outperform conventional models with XGBoost achieving the lowest RMSE of 33.7 for predicting incident duration and highest classification F1 score of 0.62 for a 30-minute duration threshold. For classification, the 30-minute threshold balances performance with 70.84\% short-term duration classification accuracy and 62.72\% long-term duration classification accuracy. Feature importance analysis, employing both tree split counts and SHAP values, identifies the number of affected lanes, traffic volume, and types of primary and secondary vehicles as the most influential features. The proposed methodology not only achieves high predictive accuracy but also provides stakeholders with vital insights into factors contributing to incident durations. These insights enable more informed decision-making for traffic management and response strategies. The code is available by the link: //github.com/Future-Mobility-Lab/SydneyIncidents
