Wu, Juan (author), Bai, Min (author), Zhang, D. (author), Wang, Hang (author), Huang, Guangtan (author), Chen, Yangkang (author)Five-dimensional (5D) seismic data reconstruction becomes more appealing in recent years because it takes advantage of five physical dimensions of the seismic data and can reconstruct data with large gap. The low-rank approximation approach is one of the most effective methods for reconstructing 5D dataset. However, the main disadvantage of...journal article 2020

Qu, C. (author), Zhan, X. (author), Wang, Guanghui (author), Wu, Jianliang (author), Zhang, Zi-ke (author)Many systems are dynamic and time-varying in the real world. Discovering the vital nodes in temporal networks is more challenging than that in static networks. In this study, we proposed a temporal information gathering (TIG) process for temporal networks. The TIG-process, as a node's importance metric, can be used to do the node ranking. As...journal article 2019
