Nuit Blanche in Review ( October 2014 )

Since the last Nuit Blanche in Review ( September 2014 ), we had another Way of Reading Nuit Blanche, saw Once Thought Impossible Computations, read a few Blogs in 78 Summer Hours and found quite a few implementations:

• Non-linear Causal Inference using Gaussianity Measures
• BRTF: Robust Bayesian Tensor Factorization for Incomplete Multiway Data
• SparsePR: Robust Sparse Phase Retrieval Made Easy
• Compressed Manifold Modes for Mesh Processing
• On Sparse Representation in Fourier and Local Bases
• RQS (Read Quality-score Sparsifier): Traversing the k-mer Landscape of NGS Read Datasets for Quality Score Sparsification
• Magni: A Python Package for Compressive Sampling and Reconstruction of Atomic Force Microscopy Images
• Generalized Low Rank Models - implementations in Julia and Spark -
• Coreset and PCA: Distributed k-Means and k-Median Clustering on General Topologies
