Hierarchies of Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equations for nanomagnets: A functional integral framework

Physical Review E

Tranchida, Julien; Cea, Pascal T.; Nicolis, Stam

We propose a functional integral framework for the derivation of hierarchies of Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch (LLB) equations that describe the flow toward equilibrium of the first and second moments of the magnetization. The short-scale description is defined by the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, under both Markovian or non-Markovian noise, and takes into account interaction terms that are of practical relevance. Depending on the interactions, different hierarchies on the moments are obtained in the corresponding LLB equations. Two closure Ansätze are discussed and tested by numerical methods that are adapted to the symmetries of the problem. Our formalism provides a rigorous bridge between the atomistic spin dynamics simulations at short scales and micromagnetic descriptions at larger scales.

Sparse coding for N-gram feature extraction and training for file fragment classification

IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security

Wang, Felix W.; Quach, Tu T.; Wheeler, Jason; Aimone, James B.; James, Conrad D.

File fragment classification is an important step in the task of file carving in digital forensics. In file carving, files must be reconstructed based on their content as a result of their fragmented storage on disk or in memory. Existing methods for classification of file fragments typically use hand-engineered features, such as byte histograms or entropy measures. In this paper, we propose an approach using sparse coding that enables automated feature extraction. Sparse coding, or sparse dictionary learning, is an unsupervised learning algorithm, and is capable of extracting features based simply on how well those features can be used to reconstruct the original data. With respect to file fragments, we learn sparse dictionaries for n-grams, continuous sequences of bytes, of different sizes. These dictionaries may then be used to estimate n-gram frequencies for a given file fragment, but for significantly larger n-gram sizes than are typically found in existing methods which suffer from combinatorial explosion. To demonstrate the capability of our sparse coding approach, we used the resulting features to train standard classifiers, such as support vector machines over multiple file types. Experimentally, we achieved significantly better classification results with respect to existing methods, especially when the features were used in supplement to existing hand-engineered features.
