Nuit Blanche in Review (August 2013)

Since the last Nuit Blanche in Review (July 2013) , we featured one implementation:

• SLRA: Structured Low-Rank Approximation as Optimization on a Grassmann Manifold - implementation - 

we also focused on several subjects

• Sampling and high-dimensional convex geometry 
• Combinatorial Group Testing Magic Trick 
• Optical frequency comb interference profilometry using compressive sensing 
• Saturday Morning Videos: Gingko, Videos of the 2013 Summer meetings
• Cleaning Up Toxic Waste Removing Nefarious Contributions to Recommendation Systens 
• Accurate Decoding of Pooled Sequenced Data Using Compressed Sensing 
• GLIMPSE: Accurate 3D weak lensing reconstructions using sparsity 
• Compressive Multiplexing of Correlated Signals 
• Is Somebody Watching Your Facebook Newsfeed? 
• Convex Optimization Approaches for Blind Sensor Calibration using Sparsity /A Conjugate Gradient Algorithm for Blind Senor Calibration in Sparse Recovery 
• Coded Acquisition of High Frame Rate Video 
• Compressive Sensing in Control Theory 
• Frequency Multiplexed Magnetometry via Compressive Sensing / Compressing measurements in quantum dynamic parameter estimation 

We mentioned two ideas (more on those later)

• Sunday Morning Insight; Using Muon Tomography to Image Salt Domes ? 
• Sunday Morning Insight: Thinking about a Compressive Genome Sequencer 

and featured a slew of blog entries of interest:

• Startups News - August 2013 
• Around the blogs in 78 Summer Hours: More high dimensional body shape references and more.... 
• Around the blogs in 78 summer hours; What does a high dimensional body look like ? group testing redux and more. 

We reported and featured the videos and slides of the meetings of importance in the field this Summer:

• Meetings: A Summer Tour 
• Slides: SPARC 2013, Coding, Complexity, and Sparsity Workshop 
• Videos: ROKS 2013, International Workshop on Advances in Regularization, Optimization, Kernel Methods and Support Vector Machines 
• COLT 2013 Videos 
• SAHD: Gigapixel! - Michael Gehm 
• SAHD: Recovering a High Dimensional Manifold from Snapshots - Ron DeVore 
• SAHD: Dynamic L1 Reconstruction - Justin Romberg 
• SAHD; Living on the edge: A geometric theory of phase transitions in convex optimization - Joel Tropp 
• SAHD: Going off the Grid - Benjamin Recht 
• SAHD: Compressive Saliency Sensing - Jarvis Haupt 
• SAHD: Multiscale bi-Harmonic Analysis of Digital Data Bases and Earth moving distances - Raphy Coifman 

and finally we had several videos around the genomics subject are:

• Overview of the evolution of genome technology - Richard Wilson 
• From Correlation to Causation in Human Microbiome Studies - Rob Knight 
• Saturday Morning Videos: Human Microbiome Science: Vision for the Future 
• Saturday Morning Video: A year of curiosity
• Saturday Morning Videos: Gingko, Videos of the 2013 Summer meetings
