Jonathan Gillard (University of Cardiff, Wales): "Optimization Challenges for Structured Low Rank Approximation"

Nest seminar of the project "Multidimensional signals" (BioSIS department) will take place on Tuesday, July 2nd from 10.30 am to 11:30 in the CRAN meeting room, 5th floor, FST Nancy.

 

Jonathan Gillard (University of Cardiff, Wales) will give a presentation entitled "Optimization Challenges for Structured Low Rank Approximation".

Abstract:
This talk will cover the Structured Low Rank Approximation (SLRA) problem; that of finding a matrix ‘close’ to another matrix, which is of the same structure, but of some specified lower rank $r$. Associated problems such as the rank minimization problem (and its convex relaxation) will also be discussed. Broadly the talk will discuss the difficult optimization problems necessary to solve to produce a solution for SLRA, and a stochastic global optimization algorithm will be presented. The main application of the methods introduced will concern modelling time series and forecasting.
