Source Characterization of Atmospheric Releases using Quasi-Random Sampling and Regularized Gradient Optimization
In the present work, an inversion technique to solve the atmospheric source characterization problem is described. The inverse problem comprises characterizing the source (x, y and z coordinates and the source strength) and the meteorological conditions (wind speed and wind direction) at the source, given certain receptor locations and the concentration values at these receptor locations. A sim...
متن کاملQuasi-Monte Carlo, Monte Carlo, and regularized gradient optimization methods for source characterization of atmospheric releases
An inversion technique comprising stochastic search and regularized gradient optimization was developed to solve the atmospheric source characterization problem. The inverse problem comprises retrieving the spatial coordinates, source strength, and the wind speed and wind direction at the source, given certain receptor locations and concentration values at these receptor locations. The Gaussian...
متن کاملRobust Estimation of Natural Gradient in Optimization by Regularized Linear Regression
We are interested in the optimization of the expected value of a function by following a steepest descent policy over a statistical model. Such approach appears in many different model-based search meta-heuristics for optimization, for instance in the large class of random search methods in stochastic optimization and Evolutionary Computation. We study the case when statistical models belong to...
متن کاملDISCRETE SIZE AND DISCRETE-CONTINUOUS CONFIGURATION OPTIMIZATION METHODS FOR TRUSS STRUCTURES USING THE HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM
Many methods have been developed for structural size and configuration optimization in which cross-sectional areas are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. This paper proposes two efficient structural optimization methods based on the harmony search (HS) heuristic algorithm that treat both discret...
متن کاملStochastic Coordinate Descent Methods for Regularized Smooth and Nonsmooth Losses
Stochastic Coordinate Descent (SCD) methods are among the first optimization schemes suggested for efficiently solving large scale problems. However, until now, there exists a gap between the convergence rate analysis and practical SCD algorithms for general smooth losses and there is no primal SCD algorithm for nonsmooth losses. In this paper, we discuss these issues using the recently develop...
