TL;DR: This paper theoretically uncovers the connection between existing k-means clustering and the alignment between base partitions and consensus partition and proposes a simple but effective multi-view algorithm termed MVC-LFA, which proposes to maximally align the consensus partition with the weighted base partitions.
Abstract: Multi-view clustering (MVC) optimally integrates complementary information from different views to improve clustering performance. Although demonstrating promising performance in many applications, we observe that most of existing methods directly combine multiple views to learn an optimal similarity for clustering. These methods would cause intensive computational complexity and over-complicated optimization. In this paper, we theoretically uncover the connection between existing k-means clustering and the alignment between base partitions and consensus partition. Based on this observation, we propose a simple but effective multi-view algorithm termed {Multi-view Clustering via Late Fusion Alignment Maximization (MVC-LFA)}. In specific, MVC-LFA proposes to maximally align the consensus partition with the weighted base partitions. Such a criterion is beneficial to significantly reduce the computational complexity and simplify the optimization procedure. Furthermore, we design a three-step iterative algorithm to solve the new resultant optimization problem with theoretically guaranteed convergence. Extensive experiments on five multi-view benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed MVC-LFA.

TL;DR: Data-driven methods serve an increasingly important role in discovering geometric, structural, and semantic relationships between shapes as discussed by the authors, in contrast to traditional approaches that process shapes in isolation of each other.
Abstract: Data-driven methods serve an increasingly important role in discovering geometric, structural, and semantic relationships between shapes. In contrast to traditional approaches that process shapes in isolation of each other, data-driven methods aggregate information from 3D model collections to improve the analysis, modeling and editing of shapes. Through reviewing the literature, we provide an overview of the main concepts and components of these methods, as well as discuss their application to classification, segmentation, matching, reconstruction, modeling and exploration, as well as scene analysis and synthesis. We conclude our report with ideas that can inspire future research in data-driven shape analysis and processing.

TL;DR: In this article, a notched core-based semi-circular bend (SCB) specimen is loaded dynamically with a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus.
Abstract: We propose and validate a fracture testing method using a notched core-based semi-circular bend (SCB) specimen loaded dynamically with a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus. An isotropic fine-grained granitic rock, Laurentian granite (LG) is tested to validate this dynamic SCB method. Strain gauges are mounted near the crack tip of the specimen to detect the fracture onset and a laser gap gauge (LGG) is employed to monitor the crack surface opening distance. We demonstrate that with dynamic force balance achieved by pulse shaping, the peak of the far-field load synchronizes with the specimen fracture time. Furthermore, the evolution of dynamic stress intensity factor (SIF) obtained from the dynamic finite element analysis agrees with that from quasi-static analysis. These results prove that with dynamic force balance in SHPB, the inertial effect is minimized even for samples with complex geometries like notched SCB disc. The dynamic force balance thus enables the regression of dynamic fracture toughness using quasi-static analysis. This dynamic SCB method provides an easy and cost-effective way to measure dynamic fracture toughness of rocks and other brittle materials.

TL;DR: A novel MoNet model to deeply exploit motion cues for boosting video object segmentation performance from two aspects, i.e., frame representation learning and segmentation refinement, provides new state-of-the-art performance on three competitive benchmark datasets.
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel MoNet model to deeply exploit motion cues for boosting video object segmentation performance from two aspects, i.e., frame representation learning and segmentation refinement. Concretely, MoNet exploits computed motion cue (i.e., optical flow) to reinforce the representation of the target frame by aligning and integrating representations from its neighbors. The new representation provides valuable temporal contexts for segmentation and improves robustness to various common contaminating factors, e.g., motion blur, appearance variation and deformation of video objects. Moreover, MoNet exploits motion inconsistency and transforms such motion cue into foreground/background prior to eliminate distraction from confusing instances and noisy regions. By introducing a distance transform layer, MoNet can effectively separate motion-inconstant instances/regions and thoroughly refine segmentation results. Integrating the proposed two motion exploitation components with a standard segmentation network, MoNet provides new state-of-the-art performance on three competitive benchmark datasets.

TL;DR: The proposed DRL-MOA method provides a new way of solving the MOP by means of DRL that has shown a set of new characteristics, for example, strong generalization ability and fast solving speed in comparison with the existing methods for multiobjective optimizations.
Abstract: This article proposes an end-to-end framework for solving multiobjective optimization problems (MOPs) using deep reinforcement learning (DRL), that we call DRL-based multiobjective optimization algorithm (DRL-MOA). The idea of decomposition is adopted to decompose the MOP into a set of scalar optimization subproblems. Then, each subproblem is modeled as a neural network. Model parameters of all the subproblems are optimized collaboratively according to a neighborhood-based parameter-transfer strategy and the DRL training algorithm. Pareto-optimal solutions can be directly obtained through the trained neural-network models. Specifically, the multiobjective traveling salesman problem (MOTSP) is solved in this article using the DRL-MOA method by modeling the subproblem as a Pointer Network. Extensive experiments have been conducted to study the DRL-MOA and various benchmark methods are compared with it. It is found that once the trained model is available, it can scale to newly encountered problems with no need for retraining the model. The solutions can be directly obtained by a simple forward calculation of the neural network; thereby, no iteration is required and the MOP can be always solved in a reasonable time. The proposed method provides a new way of solving the MOP by means of DRL. It has shown a set of new characteristics, for example, strong generalization ability and fast solving speed in comparison with the existing methods for multiobjective optimizations. The experimental results show the effectiveness and competitiveness of the proposed method in terms of model performance and running time.
