Flowing through the grounded windings of power transformers of system-forming electrical circuits, extreme GICs are capable of transferring their magnetic systems into saturation mode, which, in turn, can cause a failure of the corresponding electrical systems. However, due to little knowledge of the mechanisms of the emergence and development of GIC, as well as the fragmentation and heterogeneity of the available empirical data, the problem of their predicting and diagnostics today is associated with many uncertainties and remains practically unsolved. The research based on machine learning methods examines approaches to diagnostics of gas and electric power level in the electric network ‘‘Severnyi Transit.’’ In this case, both geomagnetic data recorded by magnetic stations in the subregion (Kola Peninsula, Russia) and natural (visible) indicators of extreme geomagnetic activity are used as input parameters. Using an annual sample of more than 35 000 records as an example, it was shown that the approach to GICs diagnostics, based on multiple linear regression, provides a root mean square error (RMSE) of <span>(sim)</span>0.122 A<span>({}^{2})</span>. The use of an artificial neural network with the ReLU activation function can slightly improve the diagnostic accuracy (RMS <span>(sim)</span> 0.119 A<span>({}^{2})</span>). However, the interpretability and theoretical significance of the model is significantly reduced. The application, in turn, of the Bayesian classifier to the data of optical observations of auroras showed that the posterior probability of the fact that in the north the GIC level at the Vykhodnoy station during auroras will exceed 2 A is 5.78<span>(%)</span>, while the probability of exceeding this value during auroras in the zenith and south are 10.04 and 14.93<span>(%)</span>, respectively.

The principal characteristic of the approach is the absence of factorization of different types of information within the data set. For a number of rapidly changing (transient) phenomena in the Earth’s atmosphere, a probabilistic model can be formulated, and the parameters of this model can be reconstructed using probabilistic programming methods (Bayesian inference based on Markov chain Monte Carlo). This paper demonstrates the aforementioned approach on a number of examples, both simulated and actually registered by the detectors of the SINP MSU. In the case of submillisecond ELVES events registered by the orbital Mini-EUSO detector on board the ISS, the probabilistic model includes the coordinates and orientation of the lightning discharge that generated the glow, as well as the height of the ionized layer in which the glow is registered, among its parameters. Bayesian inference, implemented by means of the PyMC library, allows us to calculate posterior distributions for these parameters based on the times of signal peaks in individual detector channels. In addition to studying different types of aurora, the circumpolar system of ground-based multichannel PAIPS detectors also serves as a test-bench for probabilistic reconstruction algorithms. A wide class of track events is used for this purpose—meteors, satellite and aircraft passes, and the movement of stars across the sky. The Bayesian model includes both the parameters of the track event itself and the peculiarities of its registration. These methods can be generalized to stereo events (track registration by two detectors with overlapping fields of view) or applied to the reconstruction of extremely high energy cosmic rays in orbital fluorescence detectors.</p>","PeriodicalId":711,"journal":{"name":"Moscow University Physics Bulletin","volume":"79 2 supplement","pages":"S765 - S773"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143668395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional spectral clustering methods often struggle with high dimension features tensors generated by CNNs like the VGG model. To overcome these limitations, this work proposes a novel approach that enhances spectral clustering by utilizing sparse graph representations (hyperbolic embedding) based on quasi-cyclic low-density parity check (QC-LDPC) and multiedge type (MET) QC-LDPC codes. These graphs are constructed using progressive edge growth (PEG), simulated annealing methods. The paper tackles the specific problem of effectively clustering high-dimensional, sparse image features by modeling their interactions with a random-bond Ising model (RBIM). The optimization process leverages Nishimori temperature estimation to assign weights to graph edges based on image features, leading to more accurate grouping of images into distinct clusters. This approach can be applied to various tasks, including classification. The proposed method not only improves clustering accuracy but also reduces the number of required parameters.
