The Matrix Factorization LinkedIn group, SAHD and MADALGO & CTIC Summer School presentations and MIA 2012

[Update: There is also the Matrix Factorization Jungle Page ]

Because I think there needs to be a place for discussion and exchange between a very diverse crowd of folks interested in advanced Matrix Factorization, I have decided to create a LinkedIn group about the subject. It's called the Matrix Factorization Group. Anyone remotely interested in the development of algorithms or in the infrastructure enabling these new advanced techniques to be used in the real world are welcome to join. Right now I am using the jungle logo, but I am sure somebody can contribute a Matrix related logo for it (the image must free of any copyright). 

Rebecca Willett let me know that now that the following presentations and videos from SAHD are now accesssible:

• Rene Vidal, Sparsity and Rank Minimization in Unions of Subspaces (slides video)
• Ben Recht, The Convex Geometry of Linear Inverse Problems (slides video)
• Volkan Cevher, The CLASH Operator (slides video)

Thanks Becca
