深度学习地震去噪
地震数据的去噪可以看成是地球物理反问题，即从含噪数据中恢复原始数据。解决这个问题有两种思路，第一是从物理模型出发，建立和求解优化模型，获得原始数据。在去噪中通常需要设置一个与噪声相关的参数。对于含有随机噪声的实际数据，噪声方差未知，因此需要凭借人工经验不断尝试，会对结果带来不确定性影响。第二种思路不再假定具体的物理模型，而是从大数据出发，利用已有的数据样本和先验信息训练得到模型，并进行数据去噪。我们从数据出发，针对地震数据处理专门设计深度学习卷积神经网络以及训练样本库，用于无需调参的地震噪声压制（智能去噪），并通过迁移学习技术应用于实际数据。

深度学习反演-地下介质速度建模
全波形反演是一种非线性优化问题，它的目标就是通过使地震勘测记录数据与模拟合成数据之间的残差最小化来估计地下介质模型。但是由于高昂的计算成本、反演中解的不唯一性以及对初始速度模型的依赖等不足，使得其尚未很好的应用到实际工业中。利用大数据的学习，而不是依赖于波动方程，可能为反演提供一条新途径。针对地震勘探中的速度建模问题，我们利用卷积神经网络，提出了一种直接从叠前地震数据反演速度模型的深度学习方法。从数据中自动挖掘有效特征信息，利用训练好的网络模型实现实时速度建模，且避免了传统全波形反演对于多个参数的依赖。

四维数据同化的地球物理流场预测
地球物理流体的数值预报一般需要可信赖的初值、边值以及模型的物理参数。然而，这些数据通常具有不确定性，如观测数据含有噪声，观测存在位置偏差。数据驱动的同化方法可将模型变量、观测数据与背景场估计以优化的方式结合起来，间接反演不确定变量。传统的海洋污染预报只利用浓度观测信息，然而对于溢油污染以及观测缺失的情况，浓度观测难以获取。我们根据不同的初猜场信息，提出了两种基于水平集的图像数据同化方法，方法均通过同化观测数据中污染物的轮廓信息来识别模型参数与初始轮廓。其一，基于Euclidean度量的同化方法，该方法适用于初猜场的轮廓包含或含于真实初始轮廓；其二，在变分同化框架下结合水平集方法与基于优化输运理论的Wasserstein距离，该方法考虑初猜场与观测数据存在错位与形状误差的情况。

低维流形地震去噪
如果平面中的点大致分布在一条直线上，我们可以通过线性拟合对点的分布规律进行逼近；如果点的分布较为复杂，则可通过样条函数进行拟合；如果样条函数也拟合不好，我们还可以通过一条光滑曲线进行拟合。这条光滑曲线可认为是二维欧氏空间中的一维流形空间。更一般的情况下，可以定义高维空间中的低维流形子空间。流形的维度即流形的自由度。一般来讲，如果将自然图像分块所形成的块集合看成高维空间中点的集合，那么这个集合位于一个低维流形上。比如分段光滑图像，其块尺度上的自由度为二，因此其分块集合位于一个二维流形上。地震数据也是如此，可以由地震数据块拟合成一个低维流形。假设数据中存在噪声，可以认为拟合出来的流形是不含噪声的，因此将数据块投影到拟合出来的流形上就实现了数据去噪。

低维流形学习与机器学习也有密切关系！低维流形的定义中一个概念很重要，即“光滑”，如果利用不光滑的线段，我们可以拟合任意部分的点集，因此造成过拟合。“光滑”约束使得拟合出来的流形更符合实际情况，并且能够用于预测。机器学习中本质上也是对数据进行拟合，并且使用足够的参数可以拟合任意分布。过拟合对于预测不利，因此需要通过卷积网络、Dropout等方法来防止过拟合。低维流形学习与机器学习的关系更像是几何与代数的关系，从不同角度去解决拟合问题。


数据驱动紧框架 (Data-driven tight frame)
Data-driven tight frame (DDTF)是一种新的自适应字典学习方法，它对字典元素给予了一个“紧框架”的约束（“紧框架”是一个比“正交”更松弛的约束条件，小波和曲波变换都属于“紧框架”字典），其学习过程的计算效率比传统的字典学习方法（如K-SVD）要快10-100倍。DDTF可作为地震数据稀疏表示的基本工具。目前我们已把其用在高维（3D和5D）地震勘探数据的去噪和插值。并相继提出了基于Monte Carlo (蒙特卡洛）DDTF、张量积DDTF、与Seislet结合的双稀疏学习字典，图基于的字典学习，来进一步提高计算效率和利用高维数据的几何结构性。

多方向成分分析（multidirectional component analysis)
地震信号中的局部朝向信息对于地震资料解释和处理有重要作用。前者包括断层识别、不一致界面提取等；后者包括波场分离、速度估计、导向滤波等。我们提出了局部梯度向量矩阵的秩一约束方法来计算局部倾角，相较于传统的倾角估计方法（例如PWD: plan-wave destruction），新方法对随机噪声具有更好的鲁棒性，可同时实现随机噪声压制以及相关信号分离。其核心思想是，假设某块数据中只有一种主同相轴，那沿着该同相轴（或主特征）的局部梯队向量组成的矩阵，其秩应为一。以此为先验知识建立秩1约束优化模型（GVRO: gradient vector rank-one regularization），并扩展到可同时提取多个局部倾角的多方向成分分析（MDCA: multidirectional component analysis）。

时变子波及其地震反褶积
由于散射、大地滤波等作用，地震子波在传播等过程中，其频率、相位等都时刻发生改变。因此利用传统稳态反褶积方法得到的反射系数其相对保幅性以及相位等都有一定的破坏。为解决此问题，我们引入Q值理论去模拟大地吸收衰减等过程并拓展了一种非稳态稀疏脉冲反褶积方法。 将非稳态地震子波看成稳定的震源子波与衰减函数的褶积，非稳态地震记录看成非稳态地震子波与反射系数的褶积。需先估计Q值，而后通过交替迭代优化震源子波与反射系数，可得到更加准确的反褶积结果。

Asymmetric Chirplet Transform (不对称C-子波变换)
由于地层的吸收，地震信号在时间序列上表现为不对称衰减。 为了能更好的稀疏表示地震信号，人们在构造稀疏变换的时候，一个基本的动机应该是去设计不对称衰减的基元。像傅里叶变换的周期基元（正玄函数）就不能很好表示这种衰减的非稳定态信号。我们提出了一种不对称C-子波变换，其基元具有自适应的非对称快速衰减的特性，可用于地震信号的分解和处理。变换的参数/系数如：包络线、旅行时、局部相位和频率均带有很强的物理意义。对地震解释、时变子波提取、波形反演均有可用武之地。

Geometric Mode Decomposition （几何模态分解）
针对著名的经验模态分解方法(EMD: Empirical Mode Decomposition）对含陡倾角等特征的地震数据处理的不足，提出了变分模态分解(VMD: Variational Mode Decomposition)，并在扩展到多维的过程中，进一步创新提出了几何模态分解（GMD: Geometrical Mode Decomposition）。此方法对波场特征分离、面波或多次波压制、插值等工作上都可能发挥作用。

基于低秩约束的多道集联合去噪
地震数据处理的过程中经常需要处理一整条测线的多道集数据。如果我们将其看成视频，那其中的某一道集可当作视频中的一帧。借鉴视频去噪的思路，利用道集内部和之间的冗余性与相似性，提取相似的数据块重组成低秩矩阵，将去噪问题转化为求解秩最小化约束的优化问题。

基于分裂算法的快速高阶有限差分格式
传统高阶紧支有限差分方法具有高精度的优点，但由于要求解多对角矩阵的逆，导致计算速度慢。我们采用了三种分裂算法，通过把多对角阵分解成多个三对角阵来提高波动方程模拟的计算速度，而且还保留了其计算精度高的优点；并与8、18、60阶的显式差分格式做了算例比较。

压缩感知走进地球物理勘探（随笔）
什么是压缩感知？

压缩感知（CS：Compressed Sensing）描述的是：可从高度不完备的线性测量中高精度重构未知目标。创造性的把L1范数最小化和随机矩阵理论有机结合，可得到稀疏信号重建的最佳效果。它讲述了要重构一个连续信号，不再与香侬-奈奎斯特采样定理所说的“频带”有关，而是与未知信号的“稀疏度”有关。CS于2004年由E. Candes, D. Donoho, T. Tao 三位著名数学家提出，其中华裔天才数学家T.Tao (陶哲轩)的智商据说超过爱因斯坦，是人类史上智商最高的神人。CS技术入选了2007年美国十大科技进展。CS的主要几篇文献已被引用四万多次。

从数学上讲，CS本质是降维，从低维空间去研究高维空间。

从信号上讲，CS本质是采样，从频率相关到稀疏度相关。

从工程上讲，CS本质是成本，从物理测量成本转移到数学计算成本。



为什么CS这么火？

从二十世纪四十年代开始，统治信号和信息领域的是香侬-奈奎斯特采样定理：要想从离散信号去恢复连续信号，离散信号的采样率至少应该是此连续信号最高频率的两倍。可以说大部分的信号采集相关的设备都是基于香侬定理设计的，如相机、雷达、核磁共振等等。CS理论出现后，其采样率将不在和信号的频带有关，而是和信号的稀疏度有关，打破了传统理论的束缚。所以很多基于传统理论设计的方法、软件和设备都可以得到升级换代。 单像素相机就是一个很好的例子，其反其道而行之，不再去追求千万像素的分辨率，而是用一个像素的时间序列成像就可用重构出高分辨率图像。



为什么CS能走进勘探？

压缩感知是一个理论框架，不是单一的技术，其三要素是随机测量，目标的稀疏表示，稀疏促进的优化重构算法。地震勘探中，降低野外数据采集的成本而又能保证勘探精度，是一个很重要的问题。由于CS理论的出现，这个问题的考虑也由香侬采样的思路转变到稀疏重构的思路上来，会带来很多新的变革。CS所涉及的技术，在勘探的采集、处理、正演模拟、成像反演等方面都会带来改进或冲击。但其核心问题之一还是地震数据和地质目标的稀疏表示！

我所接触到的CS：

1998年在清华大学读博期间开始学习小波变换，从事波动方程多尺度模拟的研究。 2002年博士毕业后，在欧洲开始学做几何小波变换。从剑桥大学的Nick Kingbury那里学习了复数小波变换。而后转做脊波和曲波变换的信号处理应用，这两个几何小波变换正是压缩感知的创始人E. Candes的博士论文工作（导师是D. Donoho）。2006年在瑞士洛桑联邦理工访问小波专家Michael Unser和Martin Vetterli期间，参加了他们组织的一个小波会议上。会上首次接触到压缩感知的报告，并有幸与Candes教授当面交流了自己在曲波变换方面的工作，但此时自己并没有关注压缩感知。2007年到佛罗理达州立大学访问，开展曲波对流体湍流特征提取工作。有一次空闲，我问课题组的两位中国学生最近在干什么，回答说“在看压缩感知文献”，就是这句话让我重新关注并认真着手开始学习压缩感知。访问回国后，面向我国当时“嫦娥”探月卫星发射的大背景，成功将CS应用到了遥感成像。随即认识了Wotao Yin和Felix Herrmann 等较早从事CS的专家，并于2008年派出课题组学生唐刚前往加拿大UBC访问 Felix Herrmann教授一年，逐步开始CS在地震数据插值的应用。在2009年的地球物理年会上，做了题为“曲波变换和压缩感知在地震勘探中的成就和前景”的报告，2010年在著名期刊《IEEE Signal Processing Magazine》撰写了曲波变换的邀请综述， 在2011地球物理年会的“傅承义”获奖大会报告中做了“稀疏促进地震勘探”，并受《信号处理》期刊的邀请撰写了一篇中文的综述论文：压缩感知及其应用－从稀疏约束到低秩约束优化。



2011年到哈工大以后，课题组将工作重心放在CS在勘探中的创新应用。本着“不跟随”“自主创新“的理念，重点攻关CS的核心技术：地震数据的稀疏表示。课题组在该方向也相继取得了数据驱动紧框架、不对称C-子波变换、几何模式分解、双稀疏变换等技术，并在去噪、插值等方面得到较好应用。 目前正逐步开展地质目标导向的统计学习、基于CS的波动方程快速模拟和逆时偏移成像。



2013年在哈尔滨举办了优化和压缩感知的国际会议，2015年1月和S. Fomel, M. Sacchi, Ru-shan Wu共同在哈尔滨举办了以稀疏促进勘探为主题的第一届数学地球物理会议。2015年8月，与S. Fomel共同在每四年一届的ICIAM（国际工业与应用数学大会）上开设了压缩感知勘探为主题的专题讨论会。



2015年12月2-4号，在李幼铭研究员和张捷教授等前辈推动下，SEG（国际勘探地球物理学家协会）在北京成功举办了SEG压缩感知－地球物理应用新技术研讨会，注册参会人数达到180人。本人也有幸担任会议的两位主席之一，共同见证了近30位分别来自产、学、研的国内外专家的精彩报告。12月29号小范围CS研讨会在浙大继续召开，并在全国同时开设了18个视频分会场。目前CS已得到中石油和中石化等行业巨头的关注。



期待2016年，CS能真正走进我国油气勘探，去起到它应有的作用，也为当前油气行业寒冬带去一丝暖意。

Prof. John M. Ball

Mathemetics of solid and liquid crystals

Abstract: The course will discuss static models of solid and liquid crystals. As regards solid crystals the course will concentrate on materials that undergo solid phase transformations, how these can be modelled using nonlinear elasticity, the resulting microstructure morphology, and nucleation.Concerning liquid crystals the course will describe the Oseen-Frank and Landau – de Gennes theories, and the relation between them, together with new developments concerning the description of defects. While solid and liquid crystals represent very different kinds of material, the theories used to describe them have similar variational structures, and there are interesting common issues related to the choice of function spaces, the modelling of singularities, and topology.

Mustiscal Modelign and Computation

Abstract: It is computationally very challenging to accurately represent the smallest scales over a domain that covers the largest scales in a multiscale problem. Classical practical cases are turbulence, high frequency wave propagation and the coupling of molecular and continuum formulations. As a background to the study of numerical multiscale methods we will consider a number of analytical techniques as, for example, homogenization theory for partial differential equations and averaging of dynamical systems. We will see how information theory can be a guide for discrete representation.
We will introduce several numerical methods for numerical simulation of multiscale problems with a focus on the framework of the Heterogeneous Multiscale Method (HMM). This is a methodology for coupling numerical simulations of different scales. A macroscale model gets microscale data from detailed computations on smaller subsets of the full domain. We will study HMM both in the partial differential and dynamical systems settings. Various applications, for example, to epitaxial growth, crack propagation and flow in porous media will be presented. High frequency wave propagation will be approximated both by HMM and by more traditional fest methods.

Introduction to C*-Algebras

Abstract: C*-algebras were introduced by Gelfand and Naimark in 1943, and are now an important part of functional analysis with many applications in harmonic analysis and representation theory, non-commutative geometry and topology (it is often said that the C*-algebra theory is non-commutative topology), and mathematical physics (quantum mechanics and field theory, statistical physics).

The aim of this course is to lay the foundations for further studies of the subject and its applications.

The following subjects will be covered:

(1) Spectral theory

(2) Commutative C*-algebras

(3) deals, quotients, homomorphisms

(4) States, representations, Gelfand-Naimark-Segal Theorem

(5) Some interesting classes and examples of C*-algebras

(6) Constructions for C*-algebras (pull-backs, tensor and free products etc.)

If time permits, an introduction to K-theory for C*-algebras will be given.

Prerequisites: standard bachelor courses on analysis and topology, plus some knowledge in functional analysis (Hilbert space operators).

Introduction of Differential topology

Abstract: Differential topology may be defined as the study of those properties of differentiable manifolds which are invariant under diffeomorphism (differentiable homeomorphism). Typical problem falling under this heading are the following:

(1) Given two differentiable manifolds, under what conditions are they diffeomorphic?

(2) Given a differentiable manifold, is it the boundary of some differentiable manifold with boundary?

(3) Given a differentiable manifold, is it parallelisable?

All these problems concern more than the topology of the manifold, yet they do not belong to differential geometry, which usually assumes additional structure (e.g., a connection or a metric).The most powerful tools in this subject have been derived from the methods of algebraic topology. In particular, the theory of characteristic classes is crucial, where-by one passes from the manifold M to its tangent bundle, and thence to a cohomology class in M which depends on this bundle.

Outline:

1. Smooth manifolds.

2. Tangent bundles.

3. Bundles. Vector bundles.

4. Calculus on smooth manifolds. Differential Foems.

5. Homology and Cohomology. De Rham Cohomology.

6. Connections and Curvatures.

5. Characteristic classes. Chern-Weil Theory.

6. Immersions and embeddings. Bordisms

7. Surgery. Smooth structures on homotopy type.

Prerequisites: standard bachelor courses on analysis, algebraand topology.

Sparse Recovery, Optimization, and Applications to Image and Information Science, Applied Partial Differential Equations
and Numerical Analysis

Abstract: Our modern world is dominated by visual communication via digital images and videos. This raises a variety of novel questions in mathematics. Tasks such as improving visual quality, detecting objects, or detecting motion become increasingly relevant and need to be automated due to the ongoing flood of data. Among the techniques used for these problems, variational methods play a prominent role. Simultaneously, exploiting sparsity has become a very important task in data science. A sparse signal is one which has very few nonzero elements or becomes so under a change of basis or through a transform. Compressed sensing and regularized inverse problems have made variational methods of the type used in imaging even more important. Moreover, continuous analogues of these discrete optimization problems are becoming more useful in applied partial differential equations and their numerical solution.
We will review the basics and cover recent research in this area.

Sparse stochastic processes

Abstract: Sparse stochastic processes are continuous-domain processes that admit a parsimonious representation in some matched wavelet-like basis. Such models are relevant for image compression, compressed sensing, and, more generally, for the derivation of statistical algorithms for solving ill-posed inverse problems.

This course is devoted to the study of the broad family of sparse processes that are specified by a generic (non-Gaussian) innovation model or, equivalently, as solutions of linear stochastic differential equations driven by white Lévy noise. It presents the mathematical tools for their characterization. The two leading threads that underly the exposition are
- the statistical property of infinite divisibility, which induces two distinct types of behavior Gaussian vs. sparse at the exclusion of any other;
- the structural link between linear stochastic processes and spline functions which is exploited to simplify the mathematics.
The concepts are illustrated with the derivation of algorithms for the recovery of sparse signals, with applications to biomedical image reconstruction. In particular, this leads to a Bayesian reinterpretation of popular sparsity-promoting processing schemes such as total-variation denoising, LASSO, and wavelet shrinkage—as MAP estimators for specific types of sparse processes. The formulation also suggests alternative recovery procedures that minimize the estimation error.

The course is targeted to an audience of graduate students and researchers with an interest in signal/image processing, compressed sensing, approximation theory, machine learning, or statistics.
