Christina Lee Yu, Assistant Professor, ORIE Collaborative filtering for sparse tensor estimation We consider the task of tensor estimation, i.e. estimating a low-rank 3-order tensor from noisy... Read more
Abstract: Geodesics on the group of rotations SO(3) can be found in fields ranging from optometry to rigid body dynamics and computer graphics. In kinematics of the human eye, where the motion of the... Read more
Damek Davis, Assistant Professor, ORIE Solving random equations via optimization Are nonlinear equations more difficult to solve than linear ones? Not by much! In this talk, I discuss how simple... Read more
Abstract: The solution of large symmetric eigenvalue problems is central to applications ranging from electronic structure calculations to the study of vibrations in mechanical systems. A few of these... Read more
Abstract: Spreading processes, as in infectious diseases, social behaviors, or computer viruses, impact biological, social, and technological systems. To manage spreading in a systematic way, models... Read more
