The traditional feature extraction methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) cannot obtain the local structure of the samples, and locally linear embedding (LLE) cannot obtain the global structure of the samples. However, a common drawback of existing PCA and LLE algorithm is that they cannot deal well with the sparse problem of the samples. Therefore, by integrating the globality of PCA and the locality of LLE with a sparse constraint, we developed an improved and unsupervised difference algorithm called Sparse Difference Embedding (SDE), for dimensionality reduction of high-dimensional data in small sample size problems. Significantly differing from the existing PCA and LLE algorithms, SDE seeks to find a set of perfect projections that can not only impact the locality of intraclass and maximize the globality of interclass, but can also simultaneously use the Lasso regression to obtain a sparse transformation matrix. This characteristic makes SDE more intuitive and more powerful than PCA and LLE. At last, the proposed algorithm was estimated through experiments using the Yale and AR face image databases and the USPS handwriting digital databases. The experimental results show that SDE outperforms PCA LLE and UDP attributed to its sparse discriminating characteristics, which also indicates that the SDE is an effective method for face recognition.

In this paper, new methods for efficiently solving linear acceleration equations of multibody dynamic simulation exploiting sparsity for real-time simulation are presented. The coefficient matrix of the equations tends to have a large number of zero entries according to the relative joint coordinate numbering. By adequate joint coordinate numbering, the matrix has minimum off-diagonal terms and a block pattern of non-zero entries and can be solved efficiently. The proposed methods, using sparse Cholesky method and recursive block mass matrix method, take advantages of both the special structure and the sparsity of the coefficient matrix to reduce computation time. The first method solves the η$\times$η sparse coefficient matrix for the accelerations, where η denotes the number of relative coordinates. In the second method, for vehicle dynamic simulation, simple manipulations bring the original problem of dimension η$\times$η to an equivalent problem of dimension 6$\times$6 to be solved for the accelerations of a vehicle chassis. For vehicle dynamic simulation, the proposed solution methods are proved to be more efficient than the classical approaches using reduced Lagrangian multiplier method. With the methods computation time for real-time vehicle dynamic simulation can be reduced up to 14 per cent compared to the classical approach.

Wavelet transform technique is applied to two important electromagnetic problems:1) to analyze the frequency-domain radar echo from finite-size targets and 2) to the integral solution of two- dimensional electromagnetic scattering problems. Since the frequency- domain radar echo consists of both small-scale natural resonances and large-scale scattering center information, the multiresolution property of the wavelet transform is well suited for analyzing such ulti-scale signals. Wavelet analysis examples of backscattered data from an open- ended waveguide cavity are presented. The different scattering mechanisms are clearly resolved in the wavelet-domain representation. In the wavelet transform domain, the moment method impedance matrix becomes sparse and sparse matrix algorithms can be utilized to solve the resulting matrix equationl. Using the fast wavelet transform in conjunction with the conjugate gradient method, we present the time performance for the solution of a dihedral corner reflector. The total computational time is found to be reduced.

This paper proposes a novel method using K-means and Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) for topic -based multi-document summarization. NMF decomposes weighted term by sentence matrix into two sparse non-negative matrices: semantic feature matrix and semantic variable matrix. Obtained semantic features are comprehensible intuitively. Weighted similarity between topic and semantic features can prevent meaningless sentences that are similar to a topic from being selected. K-means clustering removes noises from sentences so that biased semantics of documents are not reflected to summaries. Besides, coherence of document summaries can be enhanced by arranging selected sentences in the order of their ranks. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better performance than other methods.

In this paper, we present a new approach for the progressive compression of three-dimensional (3D) mesh geometry using redundant frame dictionaries and sparse approximation techniques. We construct the proposed frames from redundant linear combinations of the eigenvectors of a combinatorial mesh Laplacian matrix. We achieve a sparse synthesis of the mesh geometry by selecting atoms from a frame using matching pursuit. Experimental results show that the resulting rate-distortion performance compares favorably with other progressive mesh compression algorithms in the same category, even when a very simple, sub-optimal encoding strategy is used for the transmitted data. The proposed frames also have the desirable property of being able to be applied directly to a manifold mesh having arbitrary topology and connectivity types; thus, no initial remeshing is required and the original mesh connectivity is preserved.

In this paper, we propose a sparse signal reconstruction method referred to as the matching pursuit with a pruning-based tree search (PTS-MP). Two key ingredients of PTS-MP are the pre-selection to put a restriction on columns of the sensing matrix to be investigated and the tree pruning to eliminate unpromising paths from the search tree. In our simulations, we confirm that PTS-MP is effective in recovering sparse signals and outperforms conventional sparse recovery algorithms.

Recent work in compressed sensing theory shows that $M{\times}N$ independent and identically distributed sensing matrix whose entries are drawn independently from certain probability distributions guarantee exact recovery of a sparse signal with high probability even if $M{\ll}N$. In particular, it is well understood that the $L_1$-minimization algorithm is able to recover sparse signals from incomplete measurements. In this paper, we propose a novel sparse signal reconstruction method that is based on the reweighted $L_1$-minimization via support detection.

The retrieved documents have to be transformed into proper data structure for the clustering algorithms of statistics and machine learning. A popular data structure for document clustering is document-term matrix. This matrix has the occurred frequency value of a term in each document. There is a sparsity problem in this matrix because most frequencies of the matrix are 0 values. This problem affects the clustering performance. The sparseness of document-term matrix decreases the performance of clustering result. So, this research uses the factor score by factor analysis to solve the sparsity problem in document clustering. The document-term matrix is transformed to document-factor score matrix using factor scores in this paper. Also, the document-factor score matrix is used as input data for document clustering. To compare the clustering performances between document-term matrix and document-factor score matrix, this research applies two typed matrices to self organizing map (SOM) clustering.

We propose new parallel block ILU (Incomplete LU) factorization preconditioners for a nonsymmetric block-tridiagonal M-matrix. Theoretial properties of these block preconditioners are studied to see the convergence rate of the preconditioned iterative methods, Lastly, numerical results of the right preconditioned GMRES and BiCGSTAB methods using the block ILU preconditioners are compared with those of these two iterative methods using a standard ILU preconditioner to see the effectiveness of the block ILU preconditioners.
