About Nuit Blanche

Nuit Blanche is a blog that focuses on Compressive Sensing, Advanced Matrix Factorization Techniques, Machine Learning as well as many other engaging ideas and techniques needed to handle and make sense of very high dimensional data also known as Big Data.

[ "Nuit Blanche" is a french expression that translates into "all nighter" or "restless night".]

Nuit Blanche Referenced in the Dead Tree World!

The Big Picture in Compressive Sensing was mentioned in an article of La Recherche, the french speaking equivalent/competitor to Science. October 2010 issue, page 20-21.
Wired Magazine had a piece on Compressed Sensing featuring links to this blog and the Big Picture. (March 1, 2010)
Emmanuel Candes and Terry Tao wrote about Nuit Blanche in the Dec. '08 issue of the IEEE Information Theory Society Newsletter
Xiaochuan Pan, Emil Sidky and Michael Vannier wrote about Nuit Blanche in Why do commercial CT scanners still employ traditional, filtered back-projection for image reconstruction?.
Check also the acknowledgments in this Ghost Imaging paper and this one.
