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

Abstract

While a significant amount of research has shed light on how inauthentic news and misinformation spreads on social media platforms like Twitter, inauthentic narratives are increasingly spread on alternative platforms, messaging apps like Telegram and WhatsApp, niche forums, and on the broader web. In this talk, I will discuss how technologists can provide visibility into the spread of information on the broader Internet. I will present some of the recent work...
