Satellite observation scheduling plays a significant role in improving the efficiency of Earth observation systems. To solve the large-scale multi-satellite observation scheduling problem, this paper proposes an ensemble of meta-heuristic and exact algorithm based on a divide-and-conquer framework (EHE-DCF), including a task allocation phase and a task scheduling phase. In the task allocation phase, each task is allocated to a proper orbit based on a meta-heuristic incorporated with a probabilistic selection and a tabu mechanism derived from ant colony optimization and tabu search respectively. In the task scheduling phase, we construct a task scheduling model for every single orbit, and use an exact method (i.e., branch and bound, B&B) to solve this model. The task allocation and task scheduling phases are performed iteratively to obtain a promising solution. To validate the performance of EHE-DCF, we compare it with B&B, three divide-and-conquer based meta-heuristics, and a state-of-the-art meta-heuristic. Experimental results show that EHE-DCF can obtain higher scheduling profits and complete more tasks compared with existing algorithms. EHE-DCF is especially efficient for large-scale satellite observation scheduling problems.

The information-based optimal subdata selection (IBOSS) is a computationally efficient method to select informative data points from large data sets through processing full data by columns. However, when the volume of a data set is too large to be pr
ocessed in the available memory of a machine, it is infeasible to implement the IBOSS procedure. This paper develops a divide-and-conquer IBOSS approach to solving this problem, in which the full data set is divided into smaller partitions to be loaded into the memory and then subsets of data are selected from each partitions using the IBOSS algorithm. We derive both finite sample properties and asymptotic properties of the resulting estimator. Asymptotic results show that if the full data set is partitioned randomly and the number of partitions is not very large, then the resultant estimator has the same estimation efficiency as the original IBOSS estimator. We also carry out numerical experiments to evaluate the empirical performance of the proposed method.
Advantages in several fields of research and industry are expected with the rise of quantum computers. However, the computational cost to load classical data in quantum computers can impose restrictions on possible quantum speedups. Known algorithms
to create arbitrary quantum states require quantum circuits with depth O(N) to load an N-dimensional vector. Here, we show that it is possible to load an N-dimensional vector with a quantum circuit with polylogarithmic depth and entangled information in ancillary qubits. Results show that we can efficiently load data in quantum devices using a divide-and-conquer strategy to exchange computational time for space. We demonstrate a proof of concept on a real quantum device and present two applications for quantum machine learning. We expect that this new loading strategy allows the quantum speedup of tasks that require to load a significant volume of information to quantum devices.
We consider the learning of algorithmic tasks by mere observation of input-output pairs. Rather than studying this as a black-box discrete regression problem with no assumption whatsoever on the input-output mapping, we concentrate on tasks that are
amenable to the principle of divide and conquer, and study what are its implications in terms of learning. This principle creates a powerful inductive bias that we leverage with neural architectures that are defined recursively and dynamically, by learning two scale-invariant atomic operations: how to split a given input into smaller sets, and how to merge two partially solved tasks into a larger partial solution. Our model can be trained in weakly supervised environments, namely by just observing input-output pairs, and in even weaker environments, using a non-differentiable reward signal. Moreover, thanks to the dynamic aspect of our architecture, we can incorporate the computational complexity as a regularization term that can be optimized by backpropagation. We demonstrate the flexibility and efficiency of the Divide-and-Conquer Network on several combinatorial and geometric tasks: convex hull, clustering, knapsack and euclidean TSP. Thanks to the dynamic programming nature of our model, we show significant improvements in terms of generalization error and computational complexity.
Spectral clustering is one of the most popular clustering methods. However, how to balance the efficiency and effectiveness of the large-scale spectral clustering with limited computing resources has not been properly solved for a long time. In this
paper, we propose a divide-and-conquer based large-scale spectral clustering method to strike a good balance between efficiency and effectiveness. In the proposed method, a divide-and-conquer based landmark selection algorithm and a novel approximate similarity matrix approach are designed to construct a sparse similarity matrix within extremely low cost. Then clustering results can be computed quickly through a bipartite graph partition process. The proposed method achieves the lower computational complexity than most existing large-scale spectral clustering. Experimental results on ten large-scale datasets have demonstrated the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed methods. The MATLAB code of the proposed method and experimental datasets are available at https://github.com/Li-Hongmin/MyPaperWithCode.
This paper was prompted by numerical experiments we performed, in which algorithms already available in the literature (DVS-BDDM) yielded accelerations (or speedups) many times larger (more than seventy in some examples already treated, but probably
often much larger) than the number of processors used. Based on these outstanding results, here it is shown that believing in the standard ideal speedup, which is taken to be equal to the number of processors, has limited much the performance goal sought by research on domain decomposition methods (DDM) and has hindered much its development, thus far. Hence, an improved theory in which the speedup goal is based on the Divide and Conquer algorithmic paradigm, frequently considered as the leitmotiv of domain decomposition methods, is proposed as a suitable setting for the DDM of the future.
