SamBaTen: Sampling-based Batch Incremental Tensor Decomposition
Tensor decompositions are invaluable tools in analyzing multimodal datasets.
In many real-world scenarios, such datasets are far from being static, to the
contrary they tend to grow over time. For instance, in an online social network
setting, as we observe new interactions over time, our dataset gets updated in
its "time" mode. How can we maintain a valid and accurate tensor decomposition
of such a dynamically evolving multimodal dataset, without having to re-compute
the entire decomposition after every single update? In this paper we introduce
SaMbaTen, a Sampling-based Batch Incremental Tensor Decomposition algorithm,
which incrementally maintains the decomposition given new updates to the tensor
dataset. SaMbaTen is able to scale to datasets that the state-of-the-art in
incremental tensor decomposition is unable to operate on, due to its ability to
effectively summarize the existing tensor and the incoming updates, and perform
all computations in the reduced summary space. We extensively evaluate SaMbaTen
using synthetic and real datasets. Indicatively, SaMbaTen achieves comparable
accuracy to state-of-the-art incremental and non-incremental techniques, while
being 25-30 times faster. Furthermore, SaMbaTen scales to very large sparse and
dense dynamically evolving tensors of dimensions up to 100K x 100K x 100K where
state-of-the-art incremental approaches were not able to operate
Graph Summarization
The continuous and rapid growth of highly interconnected datasets, which are
both voluminous and complex, calls for the development of adequate processing
and analytical techniques. One method for condensing and simplifying such
datasets is graph summarization. It denotes a series of application-specific
algorithms designed to transform graphs into more compact representations while
preserving structural patterns, query answers, or specific property
distributions. As this problem is common to several areas studying graph
topologies, different approaches, such as clustering, compression, sampling, or
influence detection, have been proposed, primarily based on statistical and
optimization methods. The focus of our chapter is to pinpoint the main graph
summarization methods, but especially to focus on the most recent approaches
and novel research trends on this topic, not yet covered by previous surveys.Comment: To appear in the Encyclopedia of Big Data Technologie
A multi-way data analysis approach for structural health monitoring of a cable-stayed bridge
© The Author(s) 2018. A large-scale cable-stayed bridge in the state of New South Wales, Australia, has been extensively instrumented with an array of accelerometer, strain gauge, and environmental sensors. The real-time continuous response of the bridge has been collected since July 2016. This study aims at condition assessment of this bridge by investigating three aspects of structural health monitoring including damage detection, damage localization, and damage severity assessment. A novel data analysis algorithm based on incremental multi-way data analysis is proposed to analyze the dynamic response of the bridge. This method applies incremental tensor analysis for data fusion and feature extraction, and further uses one-class support vector machine on this feature to detect anomalies. A total of 15 different damage scenarios were investigated; damage was physically simulated by locating stationary vehicles with different masses at various locations along the span of the bridge to change the condition of the bridge. The effect of damage on the fundamental frequency of the bridge was investigated and a maximum change of 4.4% between the intact and damage states was observed which corresponds to a small severity damage. Our extensive investigations illustrate that the proposed technique can provide reliable characterization of damage in this cable-stayed bridge in terms of detection, localization and assessment. The contribution of the work is threefold; first, an extensive structural health monitoring system was deployed on a cable-stayed bridge in operation; second, an incremental tensor analysis was proposed to analyze time series responses from multiple sensors for online damage identification; and finally, the robustness of the proposed method was validated using extensive field test data by considering various damage scenarios in the presence of environmental variabilities
CVABS: Moving Object Segmentation with Common Vector Approach for Videos
Background modelling is a fundamental step for several real-time computer
vision applications that requires security systems and monitoring. An accurate
background model helps detecting activity of moving objects in the video. In
this work, we have developed a new subspace based background modelling
algorithm using the concept of Common Vector Approach with Gram-Schmidt
orthogonalization. Once the background model that involves the common
characteristic of different views corresponding to the same scene is acquired,
a smart foreground detection and background updating procedure is applied based
on dynamic control parameters. A variety of experiments is conducted on
different problem types related to dynamic backgrounds. Several types of
metrics are utilized as objective measures and the obtained visual results are
judged subjectively. It was observed that the proposed method stands
successfully for all problem types reported on CDNet2014 dataset by updating
the background frames with a self-learning feedback mechanism.Comment: 12 Pages, 4 Figures, 1 Tabl
