(2) Description of the related Art
Monitoring systems are commonly used to observe and monitor a wide variety of complex systems. While monitoring a single data source appears to be simple, monitoring a large scale heterogeneous data source is exceptionally complex and error prone. Some prior art techniques (see list of incorporated references, reference No.4) were developed to provide new capabilities for analyzing multiple heterogeneous data sources using a multi-layered information dynamic framework, while other prior art techniques (see reference nos. 2 and 5) only consider a single data source.
While attempts have been made to understand large-scale heterogeneous data, the prior art still lacks the ability to extend a multi-tiered information dynamic framework to model multiple scales (e.g., spatial scales) so that limited computing resources can be efficiently utilized. Therefore, there is a continuing need for a system that dynamically performs multi-scale monitoring using coarse-grained multi-layer flow information to allow efficient resource allocation.

(3) Introduction to the design reside in
The present disclosure provides a unique multi-scale multi-layer graph framework for information dynamics that analyzes and monitors different types of activities and dynamic relationships. Based on time series of different types of observables (or measurements), multi-scale multi-layer graph representations for information dynamics can be used to detect and infer their dependencies, which cannot be directly observed (or measured). The multiple spatial scale equations of the framework allow the construction of activity and dynamics adaptive multi-layer maps to reduce measurement requirements while maintaining analysis performance. A key aspect of implementing the multiple spatial scales within the information dynamic framework is a flow rate optimization method that merges graph nodes into clusters. The activity can then be summarized on a coarse-grained graph derived from a derived cluster of multiscale, which in turn allows the system to hint the region of interest for multiscale monitoring of the system's dynamics.
It is an object of the present invention to efficiently direct computing resources to monitor and analyze activity occurring from multiple sources at multiple scales. On the basis of the multi-layer information dynamic framework of the team, the new characteristics of the multi-scale multi-layer dynamic information have two advantages: 1) it reduces the amount of computation without losing the ability to find active dependencies. Coarse resolution corresponds to sparse activity dependency; thus, it provides better abstraction and enables overlay of larger graphs. 2) It has the ability to zoom in or out on the region of interest to provide better feasible insight for analysts or other system operations.
The system described herein may be deployed in cloud computing infrastructure as an embedded decision support module, or as an independent system for the application domain of complex systems, such as intelligence monitoring and reconnaissance (ISR) for perceiving maritime activity situations (as shown), crisis management, social turbulence, and financial markets. Successful deployment of this technology is expected to bring about detection and inference of system behavior, activity, and dependencies. More detailed information is provided below.
(4) Details of various embodiments
(4.1) method overview: multi-layer information dynamics with multiple (spatial) scales
The present disclosure provides a multi-scale multi-layer graph representation for information dynamics that detects and infers their dependencies from a time series of different observable (or measurement) modalities that cannot be directly observed (or measured). Multiple spatial scales within the information dynamics framework are developed using a flow rate optimization model that merges graph nodes into clusters. This process is further illustrated in fig. 3. More specifically, fig. 3 illustrates a flow diagram depicting a process for multi-scale monitoring including a stream clustering process 300 that receives inputs as ship stream tensors and generates cluster members, followed by a multi-scale multi-tier information dynamic process 302 that provides dependency links, dependent clusters, and corresponding multi-scale streams. More detailed information on these processes is provided below.
(4.2) mixed coarse-scale multilayer network: example scene (maritime affairs activity)
For further understanding, the following provides example scenarios related to monitoring maritime activity. As shown in fig. 4, at the top level 400 of a multi-layer network, signals are communication activities between nodes 402 (or zones). Node 402 represents a region or area of certain locations, such as a dedicated economic zone, a port, etc. These are time series of each pair of nodes 402 that measure the amount of collective communication activity between those zones (all vessels within each zone). On the bottom layer 404, the signal is the ship flow between nodes, representing the number of ships flowing from one zone to another over a period of time. How communication activity affects ship flow can be modeled as follows:
wherein G is1Showing a ship's view, G2The communication diagram is shown, t represents time, epsilon represents reaction time delay, V represents ship density, α represents diffusion constant, and β represents a coefficient for weighting communication information.
The semi-discrete (time continuous and space discrete) partial differential equation describes the variation of vessel density (left side) as a function of 1) with a vessel map G1The graph laplacian of, and 2) diffusion of the vessel with the graph from communication graph G2With a small reaction time delay epsilon. The number of the model generatedIn a manner whereby ship flow between certain zones is dependent on communication activity.
The goal of this multi-layered information framework is to discover hidden dependencies between ship flows and communication activities (input data is a time series of these) without knowing the model (the equations above) that generated the data. This approach is demonstrated using stream passing entropy (defined below in the stream passing entropy section) to detect hidden dependencies, i.e., the identification of ship streams that depend on certain communication activities.
The multi-layered information dynamic framework extends to multiple spatial scales. As described above, the advantage of extending the framework to multiple spatial scales is that the framework is simplified and the computational effort is reduced without losing the ability to find dependencies (as shown in FIG. 5) and providing the ability to enlarge the region of interest (as shown in FIG. 6). In particular, fig. 5 provides a schematic illustration of a hybrid coarse-scale multilayer network. The original scale 500 of the multi-layer network on the left is processed by a novel stream clustering algorithm to maximize the observed stream rate (middle) and generate clusters 502 (rectangular boxes), which clusters 502 in turn enable cross-layer dependency computation between the stream dependencies of the clustered entities (simplified edges on the right).
The region of interest 504 is identified by a cross-layer dependency link 506 (directed edge). As shown on the right side of FIG. 5, all regions adjacent to the cross-layer dependency link 506 are identified as regions of interest 504. In this simplified illustration, the only region that is not a region of interest is the lower right region 508.
Additionally, FIG. 6 provides a schematic illustration of the zoom in and zoom out capabilities. The coarse-scale multi-layer network 504 also enables zooming in to a specified node, such as a selected square node 600, which enables the zoomed-in selected node 602. As shown, in this example, the enlarged selected node 602 contains 7 nodes. Based on this, stream clustering process 604 may continue to provide another level of finer-grained clusters 606.
(4.3) ship flow clustering:
assume ship flowsheet G1Is A ═ aij)i,j=1,…,NI.e. aijRepresenting the amount of vessel flowing from zone i to zone j. One approach to multiple spatial scales is to apply stream clustering to merge nodes into k clusters picAnd c 1,2, …, k, which emphasizes the largest within and across clustersA stream ξs,Stream ξsIs from the cluster pic(s)Node-to-cluster pi in (1)d(s)Set of all links of the node in flow ξsThe flow rate of (a) is defined as:
wherein v represents a node, c(s) represents a starting node, d(s) represents a final node, i and j represent zones i and j, respectively, wherein aijRepresenting the amount of vessel flowing from zone i to zone j. The stream clustering problem is proposed to find k clusters, which makesThe sum of the flow rates in the largest intra-cluster or inter-cluster flows is maximized. Number of clusters k and number of streamsIs predefined. The flow rate maximization problem is an optimization problem as follows:
the solution to this problem can be approximated using kernel k-means clustering (see reference No.8), since both aim to maximize the weighted sum of the graph adjacency matrix entries. The kernel k-means clustering is equivalent to symmetric Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) (see reference No.3), and can be efficiently solved by a coordinate descent method (see reference No. 9).
Let M be the symmetric matrix of the ship flow adjacency matrix a: m is A + AT. The aim of the symmetrical NMF is to findMinimized with non-negative entry HijA ≧ 0 Nxk matrix H (where k < N), wherein |FRepresenting the Frobenius norm.
The difference between the problem addressed here and that in reference No.8 is as follows: the problem summarizes the more general directed graph, and reference No.8 summarizes the impact flow from a single source node in the reverse publication citation graph. In the problem addressed by the present disclosure, the number of sources may be arbitrary.
(4.4) stream transfer entropy
For ships and communication, from region RiTo the region RjThe streams of (a) are respectively represented as:andthe present approach aims to capture the dependencies of these flows (edges) and their variation across different types of flows. Sensor data (e.g., from aircraft, satellites, etc.) may be used to obtain a time series of in-layer edges observed for each layer (e.g., vessel flow over a fixed time interval varies over time). For i ═ j, the time series will be the density of vessels and communications in each region of the layer:andfrom these stream time series, the 0 break-off inter-layer relationships. Since this method aims to find the dependency of the flows from one layer to another, the inter-layer edge is between a pair of flows from different layers (as shown in fig. 7). The dependencies are determined by computing the ATE:therefore, these are called stream transfer entropy.
FIG. 7 provides a schematic illustration of discovering inter-layer dependencies: the communication flow between node 1 and node 12 in the upper panel 700 affects the ship flow on the path of node 1 → 4 → 8 → 12 in the bottom panel 702. ATE methods automatically infer such flow dependencies (edges) between layers.
(4.5) stream clustering algorithm
As shown in fig. 3, the stream clustering process 300 receives inputs as ship stream tensors and generates cluster members based thereon. This process is provided below and further depicted in fig. 3:
inputs V and k: NxNxT ship flow tensor V, wherein each entry VijtRepresenting the amount of the vessel flowing from node i to node j at time t. The number of clusters k.
1. The N × N adjacency matrix a is obtained by summing over time: a. theij=∑tVijt。
2. By M ═ A + ATThe matrix a is symmetric.
4. Assigning cluster members, represented by an Nx 1 vector d, where the ith entry is di=argmaxjHi(j) I.e. Hi(line i of H) the argument of the largest entry.
And (3) outputting d: an N1 vector d representing cluster members with entries from {1,2, …, k }.
(4.6) Ship flow clustering example results
A ship stream clustering process is performed using a set of data to validate the system and process. Examples are provided below illustrating stream clustering to summarize ship streams and reduce the number of streams. The example diagram in fig. 8 is a 10 x 10 regular grid (thus 100 nodes) 800 with three primary communications from node 3 to node 77, from node 35 to node 77, and from node 59 to node 77. The communication frequency of these is 5%, i.e. if the sampling rate is per minute, there are on average 5 active states per 100 minutes. There is also noisy communication at a frequency of 2%, with a pair of nodes randomly selected at a time. The vessel flow is simulated using the partial differential equations described above and the vessel density at each node is randomly initialized. Grid 800 shows the corresponding ship flows for the primary communication. Fig. 8 also depicts a ship stream clustering result 802 with 10 clusters, where each cluster is color-coded (nodes with the same color are clusters). A ship flow summary 804 is also depicted, which shows a generalized version of the ship flow in the grid 800. A ship flow summary 804 is indicated by a directed edge, indicating that the number of flows is decreasing.
(4.7) Multi-Scale Multi-layer information dynamic Algorithm
The system described herein utilizes low resolution to detect communication and vessel flow dependencies and TE to hint the region of interest for multi-scale monitoring (depicted as element 302 in fig. 3). This process will be described in further detail below:
inputs V, C and k: NxNxT ship flow tensor V, wherein the item VijtRepresenting the amount of the vessel flowing from node i to node j at time t. NxNxT communication tensor C, where entry CijtRepresenting the amount of communication from node i to node j at time t. The number of clusters is k.
1. The cluster member vector d is obtained using the stream clustering algorithm above.
2. By merging the ship flows V within each cluster, a low-resolution ship flow tensor W (having a size of k × k × T) is constructed from the cluster member vectors d.
4. by thresholding ATEij→klDependency links are identified to obtain dependent clusters.
5. The dependent clusters (to which the dependency links point) are enlarged (e.g., back to the original high resolution) and the low resolution of the independent clusters is maintained.
And outputting the dependency links, the dependent clusters and the corresponding multi-scale streams.
The output provides a unique abstraction and representation of the stream dependencies that enables decision tools (e.g., situational awareness tools that monitor vessel ingress and egress to disputed waters) to support exploratory analysis (e.g., exploring to high flow entropy regions based on dependent cluster depth) to refine the analysis unit for tracking purposes (e.g., using corresponding multi-scale streams and corresponding dependency links).
(4.8) multiscale multi-layer information dynamic example results
Multi-scale multi-tier information dynamic processing is performed with the clustered data to further validate the system and process. Fig. 9A-9C depict examples of multi-scale multi-layer information dynamic frameworks. Specifically, fig. 9A is a snapshot of a ship flow 900 with a full resolution 10 x 10 grid (100 nodes), where the thickness of the links represents the amount of ships flowing from one node to another. Fig. 9B is a snapshot of the generalized ship flow 902 on the flow cluster map, where 100 nodes are reduced to 10 clusters, providing a low resolution flow (after clustering). As shown in fig. 9C, after the ATE is applied to the low resolution ship flow, a multi-scale ship flow graph 904 is generated. In this regard, the region of interest may be prompted for multi-scale vessel flow monitoring. For example, the system may zoom into a region of interest while maintaining adequate monitoring of low regions of interest. Fig. 9C provides a snapshot of the multi-scale ship flow 904, with the dependent clusters (depending on the communication) having the original resolution, and the rest having a low resolution.
And (4.9) controlling the device.
As shown in fig. 10, the processor 104 may be used to control a device 1000 (e.g., a mobile device display, a virtual reality display, an augmented reality display, a computer monitor, a motor, a machine, a drone, a camera, etc.) based on generating a multi-scale ship flow graph. For example, movement of a drone or other autonomous vehicle to an area in a multi-scale vessel flow graph may be controlled based on identified dependent flows/clusters or their changes over time. For example, prior to deploying drones to a disputed body of water, the system may generate a multi-scale ship map by applying an algorithm to data collected via satellites, determine regions of interest with thresholds (e.g., significant deviations/changes in flow dependencies within an a priori determined time window), and dispatch drones to the regions of interest to collect finer grained data, or perform monitoring and tracking at a desired coverage level (e.g., zone size) for a given constraint (e.g., number of drones available, processing power, etc.). In still other embodiments, the camera may be controlled to be oriented toward the region of interest and zoomed in as desired. In other words, the actuator or motor is activated to move or zoom the camera (or sensor) over the region of interest. For example, the system may be connected to or otherwise incorporated into a satellite as a primary monitoring (more comprehensive, passive) so that upon identifying a region of interest, a monitoring device (camera, sensor, etc.) may be focused or otherwise zoomed into the region of interest. In the drone example, the drone is more active and provides fine grained monitoring (especially in occlusion states according to opponent's intentions and actions). Thus, a drone or unmanned aerial vehicle may be caused to pilot or otherwise move to an area of interest for further monitoring.
Finally, while the invention has been described in terms of several embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the invention can have other applications in other environments. For example, although the system is described in relation to an ocean-going vessel, the system is not intended to be so limited, but may be equally applied to areas where objects may move, such as cars on the street, people on the battlefield, and the like. It should be noted that many embodiments and implementations are possible. Furthermore, the following claims are in no way intended to limit the scope of the present invention to the specific embodiments described above. Additionally, any use of the term "means" for … … is intended to induce an element and a device-plus-function interpretation of the claims, and any element not specifically used with the term "means" for … … should not be interpreted as a device-plus-function element, even if the claims otherwise include the term "means". Moreover, although specific method steps have been set forth in a particular order, these method steps may occur in any desired order and fall within the scope of the invention.
