Topic: Regularization (mathematics)


  
  Applied and Computational Mathematics (ACM) Seminar
Because of the substantial variations in the operating parameters and water properties along the channel, the membrane filtration system presents strong nonlinear behaviors that cannot be adequately explained within the framework of the classic membrane filtration theories.
Mathematical model for the heterogeneous membrane system is first developed.
Moreover, the use of total variation is of two-fold: it induces regularization in regions where the pixels are observed and induces inpainting in regions where the pixels are missing.

  Regularization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mathematical term regularization has two main meanings, both associated with making a mathematical more 'regular' or smooth.
In linguistics, regularization is the process of making irregular forms regular (e.g., "oxen" becomes "oxes;" "grew" becomes "growed").
Regularization is also the act of giving legal residency and identity documents to an illegal alien.

 Early stopping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In machine learning, early stopping is a form of regularization used when a machine learning model (such as a neural network) is trained by on-line gradient descent.
Overfitting is a phenomenon in which a learning system, such as a neural network gets very good at dealing with one data set at the expense of becoming very bad at dealing with other data sets.
Early stopping is effectively limiting the used weights in the network and thus imposes a regularization, effectively lowering the VC dimension.

In 1989 Engl & Kunisch & Neubauer and Seidman & Vogel developed a regularization theory for non-linear inverse problems where F is a non-linear, differentiable operator.
The analysis of bounded variation regularization is significantly more involved since the penalization functional is not differentiable.
Another complication is introduced in the analysis of regularization functionals if for instance the operator F can be decomposed into a continuous and a discontinuous operator.

 Age of Enlightenment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ideas of Newton, which combined the mathematics of axiomatic proof with the mechanics of physical observation, resulted in a coherent system of verifiable predictions and set the tone for much of what would follow in the century after the publication of his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
Sir Isaac Newton's greatest claim to prominence came from a systematic application of algebra to geometry, and synthesizing a workable calculus which was applicable to scientific problems.
The "Enlightened Despotism" of, for example, Catherine the Great of Russia and Frederick the Great of Prussia (a state within The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation), is not based on mystical appeals to authority, but on the pragmatic invocation of state power as necessary to hold back chaotic and anarchic warfare and rebellion.

Special techniques known as regularization methods are needed to treat these problems in order to control the effect of the noise on the solution.
This formulation is equivalent to Tikhonov regularization, and we note that it is also a special case of the trust-region subproblem from optimization.
We analyze the trust-region subproblem in the regularization case and we consider the nontrivial extensions of a recently developed method for general large-scale subproblems that will allow us to handle this case.

The long term objective of this research is to develop mathematical models to predict and control morphology development in strained solid films, which are of importance in emerging semiconductor device applications.
The mathematical challenge of the work is to develop solutions for a nonlinear free boundary problem in which the development of the film shape and composition nonuniformities is coupled to the elastic strain in the material.
This regularization is a nonlinear singular perturbation, and the connection between the regularized and unregularized behavior has not been firmly established.

In mathematics, a sheaf is the basic tool for expressing relationships between small regions of a space and large regions.
It is still common in some areas of mathematics such as mathematical analysis.
At this point sheaves had become a mainstream part of mathematics, with use by no means restricted to algebraic topology.

 Regularization in Hilbert scales   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
For solving linear ill-posed problems regularization methods are required when the available data include some noise.
In the present paper regularized approximations are obtained by a general regularization scheme in Hilbert scales which include well-known regularization methods such as the method of Tikhonov regularization and its higher-order forms, spectral methods, asymptotical regularization and iterative regularization methods.
For both the cases of high- and low-order regularization, we study a priori and a posteriori rules for choosing the regularization parameter and provide order optimal error bounds that characterize the accuracy of the regularized approximations.

The Fredholm equation that is typically used to mathematically describe the blurring of an image by, say, a faulty lens, is an example of a linear ill-posed problem.
A regularization technique must be used to lessen the effect of noise on the solution.
In this work we consider a projection-based variant of the well-known Tikhonov regularization method for the solution of large-scale, linear discrete ill-posed problems when the regularization operator is not the identity.

 About My works
Recently, not only new ingredients in mathematics have enriched it's content, but also applications in fields such as chemistry, physics, neural network, finance, economic, mechanical system, communication, electronic engineering, medical imaging and so on, which always use least squares to measure the discrepancies between their model and observations, broaden it's context.
Ill-posed means the parameter to be reconstructed does not depend on the observation in a stable way, So regularization methods have to be used in order to compute a stable approximation of the parameter in the presence of data noise.
However, choice of regularization term depend on the definition of the admissible parameter set.

TV regularization entails adding a term to the least-squares objective functional which penalizes total variation of the solution; this term formally appears as (a scalar times) the L-1 norm of the gradient.
The advantage of this regularization is that it improves the conditioning of the optimization problem while not penalizing discontinuities in the solution, which is important in applications.
The main drawback with TV regularization is that with it, the optimization problem becomes nonquadratic, so that mathematical and numerical analysis are both more involved.

 MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTATION IN IMAGING SCIENCE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING - IMS
Mathematics is probably the least understood (and appreciated) among the hard sciences by the general public.
My conviction is that if the public is more aware of the "usefulness" and "ubiquity" of mathematics, not only will the public image of mathematics improve, but it'll also provide the public with the necessary understanding to make informed political decisions regarding how society should invest in its technological future.
Highlighted are mathematical views of machine and human vision, and various modern mathematical tools in image analysis and processing, including regularization and inverse problems, variational optimization, and geometric and nonlinear PDEs.

 Regularization in Statistics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The ambition of the proposed workshop is to bring together researchers working on all aspects of regularization relevant to statistical data analysis.
In applied statistics, regularization - often identified as ``penalty-based methods'', ``soft thresholding'' - is associated primarily with nonparametric regression and density estimation, often referred to rather imprecisely as ``smoothing''.
In applications, regularization offers a unifying perspective on many diverse ill-posed inverse problems, a wide range of problems concerned with recovering information from indirect and usually noisy measurements, arising in geophysics, stereology, tomography, climatology and econometrics.

The objective of the paper is to present a method, called the sequential regularization method (SRM), for the nonstationary incompressible Navier--Stokes equations from the viewpoint of regularization of differential-algebraic equations (DAEs), and to provide a way to apply a DAE method to partial differential-algebraic equations (PDAEs).
It is proved that its convergence rate is $O(\epsilon^m)$, where $m$ is the number of the SRM iterations and $\epsilon$ is the regularization parameter.
Unlike other regularizations or pseudocompressibility methods in the Navier--Stokes context, the regularization parameter $\epsilon$ in the SRM need not be very small and the regularized problem in the sequence may be essentially nonstiff in time direction for any $\epsilon$.
