An automatic-differentiation framework for time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography inversion of hydrologic dynamics

Time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (TL-ERT) provides spatially distributed information on subsurface hydrologic changes. However, inversion of long monitoring sequences is computationally demanding. Modifying the data misfit, regularization, model parameterization, or petrophysical transformation may also require new gradient derivations and separate implementations. Here, we present AD-TLERT, a unified, GPU-accelerated framework for time-lapse ERT inversion based on automatic differentiation. The framework integrates model parameterization, differentiable petrophysical transformations, forward modeling, data misfit, regularization and auxiliary constraints into a single computational chain. Alternative inversion formulations can therefore reuse the same PDE derivative implementation without re-deriving the complete ERT sensitivity for each case. Comparisons with pyGIMLi showed close agreement in the forward responses, gradients, and recovered resistivity models. Under the tested configuration, AD-TLERT achieved an approximately 51-fold speedup. Synthetic experiments showed that inversion choices affect the amplitude, geometry, and temporal behavior of recovered anomalies. By propagating gradients through the embedded petrophysical relationship, AD-TLERT enabled direct water-content inversion and yielded more accurate estimates than post-inversion conversion for the tested model. A field application further demonstrated how ERT, temperature, and soil-moisture observations can be combined to image snowmelt-driven hillslope wetting. AD-TLERT provides an efficient and flexible framework for time-lapse ERT inversion and hydrologic interpretation.

Efficient Streaming Voice Steganalysis in Challenging Detection Scenarios

In recent years, there has been an increasing number of information hiding techniques based on network streaming media, focusing on how to covertly and efficiently embed secret information into real-time transmitted network media signals to achieve concealed communication. The misuse of these techniques can lead to significant security risks, such as the spread of malicious code, commands, and viruses. Current steganalysis methods for network voice streams face two major challenges: efficient detection under low embedding rates and short duration conditions. These challenges arise because, with low embedding rates (e.g., as low as 10%) and short transmission durations (e.g., only 0.1 second), detection models struggle to acquire sufficiently rich sample features, making effective steganalysis difficult. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a Dual-View VoIP Steganalysis Framework (DVSF). The framework first randomly obfuscates parts of the native steganographic descriptors in VoIP stream segments, making the steganographic features of hard-to-detect samples more pronounced and easier to learn. It then captures fine-grained local features related to steganography, building on the global features of VoIP. Specially constructed VoIP segment triplets further adjust the feature distances within the model. Ultimately, this method effectively address the detection difficulty in VoIP. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly improves the accuracy of streaming voice steganalysis in these challenging detection scenarios, surpassing existing state-of-the-art methods and offering superior near-real-time performance.
