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

Sonia Kovalevsky High School Mathematics Day

Saturday, April 6, 2019 9:00am to 4:45pm
Pappajohn Business Building

The University of Iowa Mathematics Department organizes an annual Sonia Kovalevsky High School Mathematics Day. High-school-aged women, along with their teachers and parents or guardians are invited to a day-long program featuring workshops, interactive talks, panels of professionals with math-related jobs and fun math games. The goal of SK Day is to stimulate young women's interest in mathematics, and encourage them to pursue a career in math and science. We hope to inspire young women by...
