ABSTRACT Image restoration methods are commonly used to improve the quality of astronomical images. In recent years, developments of deep neural networks and increments of the number of astronomical images have evoked a lot of data-driven image restoration methods. However, most of these methods belong to supervised learning algorithms, which require paired images either from real observations or simulated data as training set. For some applications, it is hard to get enough paired images from real observations and simulated images are quite different from real observed ones. In this paper, we propose a new data-driven image restoration method based on generative adversarial networks with option-driven learning. Our method uses several high-resolution images as references and applies different learning strategies when the number of reference images is different. For sky surveys with variable observation conditions, our method can obtain very stable image restoration results, regardless of the number of reference images.

Characteristics Of Image

The traditional image restoration method only uses the original image data as a dictionary to make sparse representation of the pending blocks, which leads to the poor adaptation of the dictionary and the blurred image of the restoration. And only the effective information around the restored block is used for sparse coding, without considering the characteristics of image blocks, and the prior knowledge is limited. Therefore, in the big data environment, a new method of image restoration based on structural coefficient propagation is proposed. The clustering method is used to divide the image into several small area image blocks with similar structures, classify the images according to the features, and train the different feature types of the image blocks and their corresponding adaptive dictionaries. According to the characteristics of the restored image blocks, the restoration order is determined through the sparse structural propagation analysis, and the image restoration is achieved by sparse coding. The design method is programmed, and the image restoration in big data environment is realized by designing the system. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively restore images and has high quality and efficiency.

São Paulo is the most populous state in Brazil, home to around 22% of the country’s population. The total number of Covid-19-infected people in São Paulo has reached more than 1 million, while its total death toll stands at 25% of all the country’s fatalities. Joining the Brazilian academia efforts in the fight against Covid-19, in this paper we describe a unified framework for monitoring and forecasting the Covid-19 progress in the state of São Paulo. More specifically, a freely available, online platform to collect and exploit Covid-19 time-series data is presented, supporting decision-makers while still allowing the general public to interact with data from different regions of the state. Moreover, a novel forecasting data-driven method has also been proposed, by combining the so-called Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered-Deceased model with machine learning strategies to better fit the mathematical model’s coefficients for predicting Infections, Recoveries, Deaths, and Viral Reproduction Numbers. We show that the obtained predictor is capable of dealing with badly conditioned data samples while still delivering accurate 10-day predictions. Our integrated computational system can be used for guiding government actions mainly in two basic aspects: real-time data assessment and dynamic predictions of Covid-19 curves for different regions of the state. We extend our analysis and investigation to inspect the virus spreading in Brazil in its regions. Finally, experiments involving the Covid-19 advance in other countries are also given.

Abstract The simplified governing equations of applied mechanics play a pivotal role and were derived based on ingenious assumptions or hypotheses regarding the displacement fields for specific problems. In this paper, we introduce a data-driven method by the name AI-Timoshenko in honor of Timoshenko, father of applied mechanics, to automatically discover simplified governing equations for applied mechanics problems directly from discrete data simulated by the 3D finite element method. This liberates applied mechanicians from burdensome labor, including assumptions, derivation, and trial and error. The simplified governing equations for Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories are successfully rediscovered using the present AI-Timoshenko method, which shows that this method is capable of discovering simplified governing equations for applied mechanics problems.

Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery

Every year thousands of patients are diagnosed with a glioma, a type of malignant brain tumor. MRI plays an essential role in the diagnosis and treatment assessment of these patients. Neural networks show great potential to aid physicians in the medical image analysis. This study investigated the creation of synthetic brain T1-weighted (T1), post-contrast T1-weighted (T1CE), T2-weighted (T2), and T2 Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (Flair) MR images. These synthetic MR (synMR) images were assessed quantitatively with four metrics. The synMR images were also assessed qualitatively by an authoring physician with notions that synMR possessed realism in its portrayal of structural boundaries but struggled to accurately depict tumor heterogeneity. Additionally, this study investigated the synMR images created by generative adversarial network (GAN) to overcome the lack of annotated medical image data in training U-Nets to segment enhancing tumor, whole tumor, and tumor core regions on gliomas. Multiple two-dimensional (2D) U-Nets were trained with original BraTS data and differing subsets of the synMR images. Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) was used as the loss function during training as well a quantitative metric. Additionally, Hausdorff Distance 95% CI (HD) was used to judge the quality of the contours created by these U-Nets. The model performance was improved in both DSC and HD when incorporating synMR in the training set. In summary, this study showed the ability to generate high quality Flair, T2, T1, and T1CE synMR images using GAN. Using synMR images showed encouraging results to improve the U-Net segmentation performance and shows potential to address the scarcity of annotated medical images.

The success of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in image classification has prompted efforts to study their use for classifying image data obtained in Particle Physics experiments. Here, we discuss our efforts to apply CNNs to 2D and 3D image data from particle physics experiments to classify signal from background. In this work we present an extensive convolutional neural architecture search, achieving high accuracy for signal/background discrimination for a HEP classification use-case based on simulated data from the Ice Cube neutrino observatory and an ATLAS-like detector. We demonstrate among other things that we can achieve the same accuracy as complex ResNet architectures with CNNs with less parameters, and present comparisons of computational requirements, training and inference times.
