Around the Blogs in 80 hours

Since the last Around the blogs in 80 hours, we had, on Nuit Blanche, a long entry on Compressive Sensing and Matrix Factorization This Week followed by some videos from the Schlumberger workshop on Mathematical Models of Sound Analysis at IHÉS 2012. Then I went on some rambling about how sensor makers ought to pay more attention to the reconstruction solvers they use, FFT is not an end-all solution. Incidently, there was a nice exchange about this entry on the Hidden Cost of Convenience on Googple+. Finally, we had an announcement for a Postdoc and an interesting linear regression on the Cost of Success or Failure versus Complexity in Space Voyages.

We also had:

• Dustin tell us on Phaseless Reconstruction With Polarization: The Noiseless Case
• Emmanuel mentioned that FREAK made it into OpenCV trunk but he also went on explaining FREAK reconstruction as an inverse problem
• Andrej had some CVPR 2012 highlights
• Space, Time and Accurately Scaling Up Robust PCA by Matt Kraning in the MetaMarkets blog.
• Terry updated us on two polymath projects
• John had some insight from the ICML survey and comments
• Rich let us know that the First 2 OpenStax College Textbooks Published!
• Larry wrote about Self-Repairing Bayesian Inference and Topological Data Analysis
• Jordan wondered about the fact that the truth was apt to be simple 
• Cosma reported about the Ockham Workshop,Day 1, Day 2, Day 3
• Danny talked about Alpine Data Labs

And finally, I think one of the central reason we should have open access journals revolves about needing to deal with the waves of explanation that follows the potential retraction of 172 papers.
