A method integrating a non-stationary random field for constrained inversion of CSAMT data by Qianwei DAI, Luyao GUO, Yun WU, Zhexian XIONG, Dan DUAN, Zhonglin BAO, Hongfei WU, Fengyun HAO

“…ObjectiveThe inversion of controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotelluric (CSAMT) data remains challenging due to two key issues: computational efficiency and resolution. To tackle these two issues, especially the over-smoothing effect caused by traditional regularization methods in estimating complex geological structures, this study proposed an improved regularization inversion method to reflect the spatial distribution characteristics of subsurface physical property parameters more accurately. …”

An association rule-based approach for frequent item mining of multi-stage access data by Silong Wu

“…Abstract The processing of large-scale datasets is complex and requires high efficiency. The database needs to be scanned multiple times by traditional Apriori algorithms to generate candidate itemsets, resulting in significantly reduced efficiency, but also have too simple a support threshold setting, which fails to fully consider the importance and differences of different itemsets in practical business, thereby affecting the accuracy of frequent item mining. …”
