Nuit Blanche in Review (January 2014)

Nuit Blanche has already seen 2,900th published entries so far... it's a marathon. This past month we've had quite a few implementations since last December:

• Sparse Spikes Deconvolution with Continuous Basis-Pursuit
• Sparse Randomized Kaczmarz for Multiple Measurement Vectors
• GrAMPA: Generalized Approximate Message Passing for Analysis Compressive Sensing
• Nonlinear Basis Pursuit
• Blind Identification via Lifting

We also added a few references in the following pages while looking back at the Popular Posts of 2013:

• Additions to the Advanced Matrix Factorization Jungle Page
• Highly Technical Aggregators - request -
• Nonlinear Compressive Sensing - request -

We had the first public data release of a nanopore like process ( Quantum Biosystems Provides Raw Data Access to New Sequencing Technology ) as well as other very interesting focused posts:

• A Compressed Sensing Framework for Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting
• Matrix Factorization with Binary Components
• Sparse Packetized Predictive Control for Networked Control over Erasure Channels
• Sharp Phase Transition for Joint Sparse Recovery (MMV)
• Sparse Matrix Factorization: Simple rules for growing neural nets and Provable Bounds for Learning Some Deep Representations
• The Why and How of Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
• Far-field subwavelength imaging from a single broadband antenna in combined with strongly disordered medium
• Democratic Representations
• How Close is Compressive Sensing to Random Features with Random Kitchen Sinks?
• Binary Linear Classification and Feature Selection via Generalized Approximate Message Passing
• Dynamics and termination cost of spatially coupled mean-field models
• Frugal Streaming and Sparse Recovery with Very Sparse Compressed Counting
• Indiegogo: Atheer One: What it feels like to have superpowers!
• Around the blogs in 78 hours

Paris Machine Learning Meetup:
