Sparse FFT: can the fast Fourier transform be made even faster? Prof. Gerlind Plonka-Hoch Universität Göttingen |
3:30pm |
Parabolic Curvelet Transform Parabolic Curvelet Transform In this talk we will sketch the idea of an edge detection method which allows a simultaneous estimation of the edges’ curvature. To this end, we will expand the concept of the classical Wavefront Set, which indicates the position and direction of a singularity, to also include its local curvature. On this basis we will introduce the Parabolic Curvelet Transform and show its connection to the expansion of the Wavefront Set. Thomas Fink Universität Passau |

Dimensionality reduction with Johnson-Lindenstrauss embeddings Dimensionality reduction with Johnson-Lindenstrauss embeddings In modern data analysis, one frequently needs to deal with high-dimensional data sets. To alleviate the computational and storage issues that arise in handling this type of data, it is of interest to pre-process the data set to reduce its dimensionality, while preserving the information in the data that is vital for the computational task at hand. In this talk I will consider dimensionality reduction with Johnson-Lindenstrauss embeddings, which are random matrix constructions aimed at reducing the dimension while approximately preserving Euclidean inter-point distances in the data set. In particular I will focus on the 'fast' and 'sparse' Johnson-Lindenstrauss embeddings, which allow for a fast implementation. The presented results describe how the achievable embedding dimension depends on the desired approximation error and the 'intrinsic dimension' of the original data set. If time permits, I will discuss applications to manifold embeddings and constrained least squares programs. This talk is partly based on joint work with Jean Bourgain (IAS Princeton) and Jelani Nelson (Harvard). Prof. Sjoerd Dirksen RWTH Aachen |
5:45pm |
Compressed Sensing in Photoacoustic Tomography Michael Sandbichler Universität Innsbruck |
