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.

Abstract

Mobile health (mHealth) apps, such as menstrual trackers, provide a rich source of self-reported observations: they provide day-to-day health indicators and behaviors, which can help shed light onto an individual's wellness and health over time. However, self-tracked data collected via mHealth apps have questionable reliability, as they hinge on user adherence. Because mHealth app users may skip tracking relevant health information, disentangling physiological...

Topological Data Visualization Workshop promotional image

Topological Data Visualization Workshop

Monday, May 16 8:00am to Friday, May 20, 2022 4:00pm

The workshop format is expected to be in person; however, many talks will be available online. Thus we expect to have both in person and online participants. Not all activities will be available to online participants.

Some datasets are too small for standard statistical/data analysis to accurately characterize the data. Others are extremely large and data size reduction methods may be needed. One solution is to use topological data analysis to simplify and/or visualize data. This workshop will...
