Data Lab Archive from the DCC
From 2008-2009, the Data Challenge Cooperative (the predecessor of the Center for Geometric Analysis and Data) had a component that looked at data and ideas useful for data analysis and modeling. These are some of the activities we held along those directions.
Data Lab
Tutorials, data challenges, discussions ... the pulse of the DCC Milieu. We meet 12-1 every Wednesday in the Hacker Lounge on the Second floor of Neill hall (Mathematics Department on the Pullman campus of Washington State University). Comments on upcoming events are sent out to the DCC mailing list as well as posted here.
Paper Review
Silvia Madrid, from the Mathematics Deparment of the University of Arizona, will present the paper "Blind deconvolution of bar code signals".
Review of paper
Reviewer: Kevin R. Vixie
On the 5th of November, Kevin Vixie gave a review of the paper "Local Scales and Multiscale Image Decompositions" by Peter W. Jones and Triet M. Le. He also used this as an opportunity to look at a few related topics in harmonic analysis, like the maximal function. See this link for the pdf of the paper.
Stevens Discusses Data problem
Andrew Stevens, WSU Mathematics
On Wednesday, November 12th, Andrew Stevens discussed the problem of finding a center in an image collected of a laser beam, hundreds of feet from the laser. Beam divergence and other factors make the problem non-trivial.
