Upcoming Events
CS Colloquium - "Learning Sparse Dependence Structure in Complex-Valued Tensor Data"
Friday, September 18, 2026 3:30pm to 4:30pm
Schaeffer Hall
Complex-valued tensor data arise in signal processing and neuroscience. Learn more about the method using local field potential recordings, where sparse separable factor analysis (SSFA) captures dependence across brain region, frequency, and time and supports reconstruction of missing signals
CS Colloquium - "Approximation Algorithms: Some ancient, some new - the good, the bad and the ugly"
Friday, September 25, 2026 3:30pm to 4:30pm
Schaeffer Hall
Northwestern University's Peter and Adrienne Barris Chair of Computer Science will speak on the use of greedy algorithms for a basic graph problem called connected dominating set, and the development of LP based algorithms for a basic scheduling problem in the context of data center scheduling.
