Speaker — Braham Himed (Air Force Research Laboratory, Sensors Directorate, RF Technology Branch, Dayton, Ohio) Abstract — Passive radar has received considerable interest in the past few years. It is defined as a radar system that can detect and track targets of interest by exploiting readily available, non‐cooperative illuminators of opportunity. This is of great […]
Speaker — Luca Calatroni (CMAP, École Polytechnique) Abstract — The regularised formulation of a general ill-posed inverse problem in imaging typically combines an edge-preserving regularisation term (like the Total Variation semi-norm) and a data fitting function encoding noise statistics balanced against each other by a positive – possibly space-variant – weight. The optimal choice of […]
Speaker — Nicolas Keriven (Ecole Normale Supérieure) Abstract — Many problems in machine learning and imaging can be framed as an infinite dimensional Lasso problem to estimate a sparse measure. This includes for instance regression using a continuously parameterized dictionary, mixture model estimation and super-resolution of images. To make the problem tractable, one typically sketches […]
Speaker — Victor H. Moll (Dept. of Mathematics, Tulane University, New Orleans, USA) Abstract — In the process of verifying entries of the classical table of integrals by Gradshteyn and Ryzhik, the author observed that entry 3.248.5 was incorrect. This talk will discuss how was this discovered, the correct solution obtained this year by Arias […]
Speaker — Esa Ollila (Aalto University and Oulu University, Finland) Abstract — We consider the problem of estimating a high-dimensional (HD) covariance matrix that can be applied in commonly occurring sparse data problems, i.e., when the sample size is smaller or not much larger than the dimensionality of the data, which is potentially very large.
