Adaptive Graph via Multiple Kernel Learning for Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) has been continuously evolving in
several areas like pattern recognition and information retrieval methods. It
factorizes a matrix into a product of 2 low-rank non-negative matrices that
will define parts-based, and linear representation of nonnegative data.
Recently, Graph regularized NMF (GrNMF) is proposed to find a compact
representation,which uncovers the hidden semantics and simultaneously respects
the intrinsic geometric structure. In GNMF, an affinity graph is constructed
from the original data space to encode the geometrical information. In this
paper, we propose a novel idea which engages a Multiple Kernel Learning
approach into refining the graph structure that reflects the factorization of
the matrix and the new data space. The GrNMF is improved by utilizing the graph
refined by the kernel learning, and then a novel kernel learning method is
introduced under the GrNMF framework. Our approach shows encouraging results of
the proposed algorithm in comparison to the state-of-the-art clustering
algorithms like NMF, GrNMF, SVD etc.Comment: This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to the terrible

On The Effect of Hyperedge Weights On Hypergraph Learning
Hypergraph is a powerful representation in several computer vision, machine
learning and pattern recognition problems. In the last decade, many researchers
have been keen to develop different hypergraph models. In contrast, no much
attention has been paid to the design of hyperedge weights. However, many
studies on pairwise graphs show that the choice of edge weight can
significantly influence the performances of such graph algorithms. We argue
that this also applies to hypegraphs. In this paper, we empirically discuss the
influence of hyperedge weight on hypegraph learning via proposing three novel
hyperedge weights from the perspectives of geometry, multivariate statistical
analysis and linear regression. Extensive experiments on ORL, COIL20, JAFFE,
Sheffield, Scene15 and Caltech256 databases verify our hypothesis. Similar to
graph learning, several representative hyperedge weighting schemes can be
concluded by our experimental studies. Moreover, the experiments also
demonstrate that the combinations of such weighting schemes and conventional
hypergraph models can get very promising classification and clustering
performances in comparison with some recent state-of-the-art algorithms
WPU-Net: Boundary Learning by Using Weighted Propagation in Convolution Network
Deep learning has driven a great progress in natural and biological image
processing. However, in material science and engineering, there are often some
flaws and indistinctions in material microscopic images induced from complex
sample preparation, even due to the material itself, hindering the detection of
target objects. In this work, we propose WPU-net that redesigns the
architecture and weighted loss of U-Net, which forces the network to integrate
information from adjacent slices and pays more attention to the topology in
boundary detection task. Then, the WPU-net is applied into a typical material
example, i.e., the grain boundary detection of polycrystalline material.
Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method achieves promising performance
and outperforms state-of-the-art methods. Besides, we propose a new method for
object tracking between adjacent slices, which can effectively reconstruct 3D
structure of the whole material. Finally, we present a material microscopic
image dataset with the goal of advancing the state-of-the-art in image
processing for material science.Comment: technical repor
Local-set-based Graph Signal Reconstruction
Signal processing on graph is attracting more and more attentions. For a
graph signal in the low-frequency subspace, the missing data associated with
unsampled vertices can be reconstructed through the sampled data by exploiting
the smoothness of the graph signal. In this paper, the concept of local set is
introduced and two local-set-based iterative methods are proposed to
reconstruct bandlimited graph signal from sampled data. In each iteration, one
of the proposed methods reweights the sampled residuals for different vertices,
while the other propagates the sampled residuals in their respective local
sets. These algorithms are built on frame theory and the concept of local sets,
based on which several frames and contraction operators are proposed. We then
prove that the reconstruction methods converge to the original signal under
certain conditions and demonstrate the new methods lead to a significantly
faster convergence compared with the baseline method. Furthermore, the
correspondence between graph signal sampling and time-domain irregular sampling
is analyzed comprehensively, which may be helpful to future works on graph
signals. Computer simulations are conducted. The experimental results
demonstrate the effectiveness of the reconstruction methods in various sampling
geometries, imprecise priori knowledge of cutoff frequency, and noisy
scenarios.Comment: 28 pages, 9 figures, 6 tables, journal manuscrip
Analysing correlated noise on the surface code using adaptive decoding algorithms
Laboratory hardware is rapidly progressing towards a state where quantum
error-correcting codes can be realised. As such, we must learn how to deal with
the complex nature of the noise that may occur in real physical systems. Single
qubit Pauli errors are commonly used to study the behaviour of error-correcting
codes, but in general we might expect the environment to introduce correlated
errors to a system. Given some knowledge of structures that errors commonly
take, it may be possible to adapt the error-correction procedure to compensate
for this noise, but performing full state tomography on a physical system to
analyse this structure quickly becomes impossible as the size increases beyond
a few qubits. Here we develop and test new methods to analyse blue a particular
class of spatially correlated errors by making use of parametrised families of
decoding algorithms. We demonstrate our method numerically using a diffusive
noise model. We show that information can be learnt about the parameters of the
noise model, and additionally that the logical error rates can be improved. We
conclude by discussing how our method could be utilised in a practical setting
blue and propose extensions of our work to study more general error models.Comment: 19 pages, 8 figures, comments welcome; v2 - minor typos corrected
