Path tracing provides photo-realistic rendering in many applications but intermediate previsualization often suffers from distracting noise. Since the fundamental underlying problem is insufficient samples, we exploit the coherence of the visual signal to reconstruct missing samples, using a low-rank matrix completion framework. We present novel methods to construct low rank matrices for incomplete images including missing pixel, missing sub-pixel, and multi-frame scenarios. A convolutional neural network provides fast pre-completion for initialising missing values, and subsequent weighted nuclear norm minimisation (WNNM) with a parameter adjustment strategy (PAWNNM) efficiently recovers missing values even in high frequency details. The result shows better visual quality than recent methods including compressed sensing based reconstruction.

Modern surveys with large sample sizes and growing mixed-type questionnaires require robust and scalable analysis methods. In this work, we consider recovering a mixed dataframe matrix, obtained by complex survey sampling, with entries following different canonical exponential distributions and subject to heterogeneous missingness. To tackle this challenging task, we propose a two-stage procedure: in the first stage, we model the entry-wise missing mechanism by logistic regression, and in the second stage, we complete the target parameter matrix by maximizing a weighted log-likelihood with a low-rank constraint.

In recent years, gene expression data analysis has gained growing significance in the fields of machine learning and computational biology. Typically, microarray gene datasets exhibit a scenario where the number of features exceeds the number of samples, resulting in an ill-posed and underdetermined equation system. The presence of redundant features in high-dimensional data leads to suboptimal performance and increased computational time for learning algorithms.

Accurate estimation of low frequency modes in power system are very much important for improving small signal stability. The parametric model parameters estimator known as Total least square estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (TLS-ESPRIT) works effectively even in noisy conditions. However, this model parameter estimator requires prior information about numbers of modes of the signal.

We present a massively parallel GPU-accelerated implementation of the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) for the calculation of the vertical excitation energies (VEEs) and optical absorption spectra of condensed and molecular systems, starting from single-particle eigenvalues and eigenvectors obtained with density functional theory. The algorithms adopted here circumvent the slowly converging sums over empty and occupied states and the inversion of large dielectric matrices through a density matrix perturbation theory approach and a low-rank decomposition of the screened Coulomb interaction, respectively. Further computational savings are achieved by exploiting the nearsightedness of the density matrix of semiconductors and insulators to reduce the number of screened Coulomb integrals.

Networks of excitatory and inhibitory (EI) neurons form a canonical circuit in the brain. Seminal theoretical results on dynamics of such networks are based on the assumption that synaptic strengths depend on the type of neurons they connect, but are otherwise statistically independent. Recent synaptic physiology datasets however highlight the prominence of specific connectivity patterns that go well beyond what is expected from independent connections.
