Background: The widespread application of data-driven factorization-based methods, such as independent component analysis (ICA), to functional magnetic resonance imaging data facilitates the study of neural function and how it is disrupted by psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. While the increasing number of these methods motivates a comparison of their relative performance, such a comparison is difficult to perform on real fMRI data, since the ground truth is, relatively, unknown and the alignment of factors across different methods is impractical and imprecise.
New Method: We present a novel method, global difference maps (GDMs), to compare the results of different fMRI analysis techniques on real fMRI data, quantify their relative performances, and highlight the differences between the decompositions visually.
Comparison With Existing Methods: We apply this method to compare the performances of two different factorization-based methods, ICA and its multiset extension independent vector analysis (IVA), for the analysis of fMRI data from 109 patients with schizophrenia and 138 healthy controls during the performance of three tasks.
Results: Through this application of GDMs, we find that IVA can determine regions that are more discriminatory between patients and controls than ICA, though IVA is less effective at emphasizing regions found in only a subset of the tasks.
Conclusions: These results demonstrate that GDMs are an effective way to compare the performances of different factorization-based methods as well as regression-based analyses.

Electronic coherences are key to understanding and controlling photoinduced molecular transformations. We identify a crucial quantum-mechanical feature of electron-nuclear correlation, the projected nuclear quantum momenta, essential to capture the correct coherence behavior. For simulations, we show that, unlike traditional trajectory-based schemes, exact-factorization-based methods approximate these correlation terms and correctly capture electronic coherences in a range of situations, including their spatial dependence, an important aspect that influences subsequent electron dynamics and that is becoming accessible in more experiments.

Advances in single-cell transcriptomics provide an unprecedented opportunity to explore complex biological processes. However, computational methods for analyzing single-cell transcriptomics still have room for improvement especially in dimension reduction, cell clustering, and cell-cell communication inference. Herein, we propose a versatile method, named DcjComm, for comprehensive analysis of single-cell transcriptomics.

Data-driven fault diagnosis, identifying abnormality causes using collected industrial data, is one of the challenging tasks for intelligent industry safety management. It is worth noting that practical industrial data are usually related to a mixture of several physical attributes, such as the operating environment, product quality and working conditions. However, the traditional models may not be sufficient to leverage the coherent information for diagnostic performance enhancement, due to their shallow architecture.

The detection of gas leaks using acoustic signals is often compromised by environmental noise, which significantly impacts the accuracy of subsequent leak identification. Current noise reduction algorithms based on non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) typically utilize the Euclidean distance as their objective function, which can exacerbate noise anomalies. Moreover, these algorithms predominantly rely on simple techniques like Wiener filtering to estimate the amplitude spectrum of pure signals.
