Abstract PurposeTo develop and evaluate a novel method for computationally efficient reconstruction from noisy MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) data. MethodsThe proposed method features (a) a novel strategy that jointly learns a nonlinear low‐dimensional representation of high‐dimensional spectroscopic signals and a neural‐network‐based projector to recover the low‐dimensional embeddings from noisy/limited data; (b) a formulation that integrates the forward encoding model, a regularizer exploiting the learned representation, and a complementary spatial constraint; and (c) a highly efficient algorithm enabled by the learned projector within an alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) framework, circumventing the computationally expensive network inversion subproblem. ResultsThe proposed method has been evaluated using simulations as well as in vivo H and P MRSI data, demonstrating improved performance over state‐of‐the‐art methods, with about 6 fewer averages needed than standard Fourier reconstruction for similar metabolite estimation variances and up to 100 reduction in processing time compared to a prior neural network constrained reconstruction method. Computational and theoretical analyses were performed to offer further insights into the effectiveness of the proposed method. ConclusionA novel method was developed for fast, high‐SNR spatiospectral reconstruction from noisy MRSI data. We expect our method to be useful for enhancing the quality of MRSI or other high‐dimensional spatiospectral imaging data.

null (Ed.)We introduce a new method for proving central limit theorems for random walk on nilpotent groups. The method is illustrated in a local central limit theorem on the Heisenberg group, weakening the necessary conditions on the driving measure. As a second illustration, the method is used to study walks on the nn uni-upper triangular group with entries taken modulo p. The method allows sharp answers to the behavior of individual coordinates: coordinates immediately above the diagonal require order p^2 steps for randomness, coordinates on the second diagonal require order p steps; coordinates on the kth diagonal require order p^{2/k} steps.more » « less

Abstract We propose a method for recognizing null singularities in a computer simulation that uses a foliation by spacelike surfaces. The method involves harmonic time slicing as well as rescaled tetrad variables. As a ‘proof of concept’ we show that the method works in Reissner–Nordstrom spacetime.more » « less

Abstract Understanding age structure in populations is foundational for ecological study, yet ascertaining the age of individuals in the wild can be problematic. Methods typically rely on the prior determination of a relationship between age and some morphological measurement specific to the species or animal group under investigation.We present a novel method to incorporate multiple measures of animal size and development to estimate age, using Bayesian parallel regression to integrate multiple regression relationships into predictions.We apply the method to Tasmanian devils, a carnivorous marsupial that is threatened by a transmissible cancer. We estimate devil age based on measures of mass, head width, canine over‐eruption and molar characteristics.Practical implication. The method provides a flexible framework with potential application to a range of species; however, the method is best suited to capture–mark–recapture style studies where repeated measures data have been collected for individuals across multiple points in time.more » « less
