    Abstract High-dimensional and incomplete (HDI) data are frequently encountered in big date-related applications for describing restricted observed interactions among large node sets. How to perform accurate and efficient representation learning on such HDI data is a hot yet thorny issue. A latent factor (LF) model has proven to be efficient in addressing it. However, the objective function of an LF model is nonconvex. Commonly adopted first-order methods cannot approach its second-order stationary point, thereby resulting in accuracy loss. On the other hand, traditional second-order methods are impractical for LF models since they suffer from high computational costs due to the required operations on the objective's huge Hessian matrix. In order to address this issue, this study proposes a generalized Nesterov-accelerated second-order LF (GNSLF) model that integrates twofold conceptions: 1) acquiring proper second-order step efficiently by adopting a Hessian-vector algorithm and 2) embedding the second-order step into a generalized Nesterov's acceleration (GNA) method for speeding up its linear search process. The analysis focuses on the local convergence for GNSLF's nonconvex cost function instead of the global convergence has been taken; its local convergence properties have been provided with theoretical proofs. Experimental results on six HDI data cases demonstrate that GNSLF performs better than state-of-the-art LF models in accuracy for missing data estimation with high efficiency, i.e., a second-order model can be accelerated by incorporating GNA without accuracy loss.

    Abstract Deep learning techniques have been used to build velocity models (VMs) for seismic traveltime tomography and have shown encouraging performance in recent years. However, they need to generate labeled samples (i.e., pairs of input and label) to train the deep neural network (NN) with end-to-end learning, and the real labels for field data inversion are usually missing or very expensive. Some traditional tomographic methods can be implemented quickly, but their effectiveness is often limited by prior assumptions. To avoid generating labeled samples, we propose a novel method by integrating deep learning and dictionary learning to enhance the VMs with low resolution by using the traditional tomography-least square method (LSQR). We first design a type of shallow and simple NN to reduce computational cost followed by proposing a two-step strategy to enhance the VMs with low resolution: (1) Warming up. An initial dictionary is trained from the estimation by LSQR through dictionary learning method; (2) Dictionary optimization. The initial dictionary obtained in the warming-up step will be optimized by the NN, and then it will be used to reconstruct high-resolution VMs with the reference slowness and the estimation by LSQR. Furthermore, we design a loss function to minimize traveltime misfit to ensure that NN training is label-free, and the optimized dictionary can be obtained after each epoch of NN training. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method through numerical tests.

    Abstract High-Dimensional and Incomplete (HDI) data are frequently found in various industrial applications with complex interactions among numerous nodes, which are commonly non-negative for representing the inherent non-negativity of node interactions. A Non-negative Latent Factor (NLF) model is able to extract intrinsic features from such data efficiently. However, existing NLF models all adopt a static divergence metric like Euclidean distance or {\alpha}-\b{eta} divergence to build its learning objective, which greatly restricts its scalability of accurately representing HDI data from different domains. Aiming at addressing this issue, this study presents an Adaptive Divergence-based Non-negative Latent Factor (ADNLF) model with three-fold ideas: a) generalizing the objective function with the {\alpha}-\b{eta}-divergence to expand its potential of representing various HDI data; b) adopting a non-negative bridging function to connect the optimization variables with output latent factors for fulfilling the non-negativity constraints constantly; and c) making the divergence parameters adaptive through particle swarm optimization, thereby facilitating adaptive divergence in the learning objective to achieve high scalability. Empirical studies are conducted on four HDI datasets from real applications, whose results demonstrate that in comparison with state-of-the-art NLF models, an ADNLF model achieves significantly higher estimation accuracy for missing data of an HDI dataset with high computational efficiency.

    Abstract Big data has the traits such as "the curse of dimensionality," high storage cost, and heavy computation burden. Self-representation-based feature extraction methods cannot effectively deal with the image-level structural noise in the data, so how to character a better relationship of reconstruction representation is very important. Recently, sparse representation with smoothed matrix multivariate elliptical distribution (SMED) using structural information to handle low-rank error images caused by illumination or occlusion has been proposed. Based on SMED, we present a new method named SMEDP for feature extraction. SMEDP firstly utilizes SMED to automatically construct an adjacency graph and then obtains an optimal projection matrix by maximizing the ratio of the local scatter matrix and the total scatter matrix in the PCA subspace. Experiments on the COIL-20 object database, ORL face database, and CMU PIE face database prove that SMEDP works well and can achieve considerable visual and recognition performance than the relevant methods.

    Abstract Aiming at the problems of missing important features, inconspicuous details and unclear textures in the fusion of multimodal medical images, this paper proposes a method of computed tomography (CT) image and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image fusion using generative adversarial network (GAN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) under image enhancement. The generator aimed at high-frequency feature images and used double discriminators to target the fusion images after inverse transform; Then high-frequency feature images were fused by trained GAN model, and low-frequency feature images were fused by CNN pre-training model based on transfer learning. Experimental results showed that, compared with the current advanced fusion algorithm, the proposed method had more abundant texture details and clearer contour edge information in subjective representation.

    Abstract Water and thermal management is of great importance to proton exchange membrane fuel cell. A comfort index is proposed to comprehensively evaluate the water and thermal characteristics in proton exchange membrane fuel cell. It refers to the concept of comfort index in meteorology and selects the cathode liquid water accumulation and anode membrane drying as two basic factors so as to prevent water flooding and low proton conductivity simultaneously. The anode and cathode comfort degrees corresponding to the anode membrane drying and cathode liquid water accumulation, respectively, are quantified and fitted at various operation conditions, of which the parameters in the calculation process are determined utilizing a carefully validated quasi-two-dimensional model. The influences of cathode stoichiometric ratio, operating pressure, coolant temperature difference, cathode relative humidity, coolant temperature, anode recirculating ratio, current density and membrane thickness at wide-range temperature are studied in detail by the comfort index. It is found that the comfort index usually first increases and then decreases with the increment of temperature, because the low water saturation pressure at low temperature makes the water condensation easier and thus leads to water flooding. Compared to analytical simulation models, the comfort index is able to instantly obtain the quantified water and thermal characteristics in proton exchange membrane fuel cell, which is of great significance to the stack design and in-situ system controlling in practical design.

    Abstract Cold start has been realized as an important issue for PEMFC in its global commercialization. As is well-known, the conventional “channel-rib” type flow field will surely lead to several problems, such as water accumulation under the rib, resulting in slow water removal and serious ice blockage in the pores. In recent years, with the fast development of metal foam materials, metal foam has been recognized as a promising alternative replacement of the conventional “channel-rib” type flow field. In this study, a cold start model of PEMFC is established under sub-zero temperature. The coupled transport processes of heat, mass and charge in PEMFC under various subzero temperatures and startup modes are simulated. The results show that ice formation is slower in the PEMFC with metal foam as cathode flow field in cold start process, due to the superior performance of metal foam in water removal and uniform distribution of gas supply. However, the excellent thermal conductivity of metal foam could also result in faster heat loss from PEMFC. Furthermore, ice formation is highly dependent on the supercooled water transfer behavior, though small amount of supercooled water is maintained in the cell. This work aims to provide a systematic analysis for the cold start behavior of PEMFC with metal foam flow field.
