"We consider it a good principle to explain the phenomena by the simplest hypothesis possible" - Ptolemy
One-day workshop
Wednesday, 16 September, 2020
Organized by Sophie M. Fosson and Diego Regruto - Dipartimento di Automatica e Informatica, Politecnico di Torino, Italy
Supported by IEEE CSS Italy Chapter and IEEE CSS Technical Committee on System Identification and Adaptive Control (TC-SIAC)
In data-driven science, it is fundamental to extract the essential information from data, to avoid redundancies, over-fitting, and undesired high complexity. For this purpose, sparse optimization is exploited to learn parsimonious models: this is "sparse learning".
In the last years, the theory of sparse optimization has been developed within the signal processing community, in particular in the context of compressed sensing. Nowadays, its application is popular in several areas, ranging from linear and non-linear system identification to neural networks and deep learning.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from signal processing, system identification, and machine learning communities to discuss new challenges of sparse learning, with particular attention to the application of more recent theoretical results to real-world problems.
