In this paper, we introduce the “Walk on Equations” (WE) Monte Carlo algorithm, a novel approach for solving linear algebraic systems. This algorithm shares similarities with the recently developed WE MC method by Ivan Dimov, Sylvain Maire, and Jean Michel Sellier. This method is particularly effective for large matrices, both real- and complex-valued, and shows significant improvements over traditional methods. Our comprehensive comparison with the Gauss–Seidel method highlights the WE algorithm’s superior performance, especially in reducing relative errors within fewer iterations. We also introduce a unique dominancy number, which plays a crucial role in the algorithm’s efficiency. A pivotal outcome of our research is the convergence theorem we established for the WE algorithm, demonstrating its optimized performance through a balanced iteration matrix. Furthermore, we incorporated a sequential Monte Carlo method, enhancing the algorithm’s efficacy. The most-notable application of our algorithm is in solving a large system derived from a finite-element approximation in constructive mechanics, specifically for a beam structure problem. Our findings reveal that the proposed WE Monte Carlo algorithm, especially when combined with sequential MC, converges significantly faster than well-known deterministic iterative methods such as the Jacobi method. This enhanced convergence is more pronounced in larger matrices. Additionally, our comparative analysis with the preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) method shows that the WE MC method can outperform traditional methods for certain matrices. The introduction of a new random variable as an unbiased estimator of the solution vector and the analysis of the relative stochastic error structure further illustrate the potential of our novel algorithm in computational mathematics.

A novel similarity measure between Gaussian mixture models (GMMs), based on similarities between the low-dimensional representations of individual GMM components and obtained using deep autoencoder architectures, is proposed in this paper. Two different approaches built upon these architectures are explored and utilized to obtain low-dimensional representations of Gaussian components in GMMs. The first approach relies on a classical autoencoder, utilizing the Euclidean norm cost function. Vectorized upper-diagonal symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices corresponding to Gaussian components in particular GMMs are used as inputs to the autoencoder. Low-dimensional Euclidean vectors obtained from the autoencoder’s middle layer are then used to calculate distances among the original GMMs. The second approach relies on a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) autoencoder, using SPD representatives to generate embeddings corresponding to multivariate GMM components given as inputs. As the autoencoder training cost function, the Frobenious norm between the input and output layers of such network is used and combined with regularizer terms in the form of various pieces of information, as well as the Riemannian manifold-based distances between SPD representatives corresponding to the computed autoencoder feature maps. This is performed assuming that the underlying probability density functions (PDFs) of feature-map observations are multivariate Gaussians. By employing the proposed method, a significantly better trade-off between the recognition accuracy and the computational complexity is achieved when compared with other measures calculating distances among the SPD representatives of the original Gaussian components. The proposed method is much more efficient in machine learning tasks employing GMMs and operating on large datasets that require a large overall number of Gaussian components. Full article

This paper introduces a parameter-free clustering-based approach to detecting critical traffic road segments in urban areas, i.e., road segments of spatially prolonged and high traffic accident risk. In addition, it proposes a novel domain-specific criterion for evaluating the clustering results, which promotes the stability of the clustering results through time and inter-period accident spatial collocation, and penalizes the size of the selected clusters. To illustrate the proposed approach, it is applied to data on traffic accidents with injuries or death that occurred in three of the largest cities of Serbia over the three-year period. Full article
