Superresolution interferometric imaging with sparse modeling using total squared variation -- Application to imaging the black hole shadow

We propose a new imaging technique for interferometry using sparse modeling, utilizing two regularization terms: the $\ell_1$-norm and a new function named total squared variation (TSV) of the brightness distribution. First, we demonstrate that our …

Exhaustive search for sparse variable selection in linear regression

We propose a $K$-sparse exhaustive search (ES-$K$) method and a $K$-sparse approximate exhaustive search method (AES-$K$) for selecting variables in linear regression. With these methods, $K$-sparse combinations of variables are tested exhaustively …

New method of eclipse mapping and an application to HT Cas in the 2017 superoutburst

We have developed a new eclipse mapping method with Total Variation Minimization (TVM). TVM uses a concept of sparse modeling, which recovers information from sparse data. TVM sets a summation of difference in the brightness of adjacent elements in a …

Imaging the Schwarzschild-radius-scale Structure of M87 with the Event Horizon Telescope using Sparse Modeling

We propose a new imaging technique for radio and optical/infrared interferometry. The proposed technique reconstructs the image from the visibility amplitude and closure phase, which are standard data products of short-millimeter very long baseline …

Superresolution full-polarimetric imaging for radio interferometry with sparse modeling

We propose a new technique for radio interferometry to obtain superresolution full-polarization images in all four Stokes parameters using sparse modeling. The proposed technique reconstructs the image in each Stokes parameter from the corresponding …

Data-driven approach to Type Ia supernovae: variable selection on the peak luminosity and clustering in visual analytics

Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) have an almost uniform peak luminosity, so that they are used as "standard candle" to estimate distances to galaxies in cosmology. In this article, we introduce our two recent works on SNIa based on data-driven approach. The …

Imaging black holes with sparse modeling

We introduce a new imaging method for radio interferometry based on sparse- modeling. The direct observables in radio interferometry are visibilities, which are Fourier transformation of an astronomical image on the sky-plane, and incomplete sampling …

PRECL: A new method for interferometry imaging from closure phase

For short-wavelength VLBI observations, it is difficult to measure the phase of the visibility function accurately. The closure phases are reliable measurements under this situation, though it is not sufficient to retrieve all of the phase …

Sparse modeling for astronomical data analysis

For astronomical data analysis, there have been proposed multiple methods based on sparse modeling. We have proposed a method for Compton camera imaging. The proposed approach is a sparse modeling method, but the derived algorithm is different from …

Sparsely extracting stored movements to construct interfaces for humanoid end-effector control

This paper proposes a robot interface design method by which we can control humanoid end-effector movements with such a low-dimensional input device as a gamepad. In our proposed method, first, the numbers of movement trajectories to accomplish …
