DFG-SPP 1798: CoSIP Intense Course on Deep Learning

It is our pleasure to inform you about the upcoming "CoSIP Intense Course on Deep Learning", which will take place at TU Berlin from November 29 to December 1, 2017, organized by Rudolf Mathar, Maximilian März, and Gitta Kutyniok. We kindly invite all CoSIP related PhD students and postdocs, as well as all other interested researchers, to join us for this event.

We are honored that the following seven internationally recognized experts have agreed to give a 2-hours lecture at this event:

The topics of the courses will cover a wide range of relevant topics in deep learning, including an introduction lecture and a training in Tensorflow. There will be a special emphasis on theoretical foundations of the field.

We hope that in the tradition of this winter school series, there will be vivid discussions among the younger researchers of CoSIP, creating a unique opportunity for learning about this exciting methodology and promoting collaborations among the different groups.

The deadline for the registration is October 31, 2017.

Continuous updates, more information about the program, venue etc. and the online registration can be found here.

This intense course is closely related to the 3. International Matheon-Conference on "Compressed Sensing and its Applications", which will be held in the same place in the subsequent week (December 4-8). This time an additional focus of the conference will be put on foundations of deep learning. Hence this intense course will not only equip the upcoming generation of researchers with the necessary tools in the novel area of deep learning, but also lay the foundation for attending the Matheon-Conference.

DFG-SPP 1798: Compressed Sensing in Information Processing (CoSIP), Newsletter 02/2015

Before the winter break, with this newsletter we would like to inform you about the following topics:
1.) CoSIP Email Address
2.) Associated Projects
3.) CoSIP Visitors and Workshops
4.) Special Offers for Female Participants
5.) Winter School on Compressed Sensing at TU Berlin
6.) Webpage CoSIP
7.) First CoSIP Colloquium
8.) Workshop on "Data Science: Theory and Applications" at RWTH Aachen University
Allow us to already wish you at this point Happy Holidays and all the best for 2016. We look greatly forward to many fruitful scientific exchanges and, in particular, interdisciplinary interactions within our priority program CoSIP in the new year!

Finally, if you have any suggestions or comments, we would be very happy if you could let us know.

CoSIP Email Address

To make communication easier, we set up the email address cosip@math.tu-berlin.de, which you can use for any request or suggestion concerning CoSIP you might have. We would be grateful, if you would not distribute this address.

Associated Projects

Projects which focus on theoretical and practical aspects of compressed sensing, but are not supported via CoSIP can be associated to our priority program. The benefit would be that the members of such a project can, for instance, attend the annual CoSIP colloquium and will receive the same information about events, initiatives, etc. in the realm of compressed sensing as "regular" members. However, they can not receive any financial benefits.

If you yourself or a colleague you know would like to apply for her/his project to be associated, please contact cosip@math.tu-berlin.de.

CoSIP Visitors and Workshops

From next year on, we will also set up a visitor's program for which you can suggest international researchers. If selected CoSIP will take over the cost either in full or partially. One key requirement will be that the expertise of the CoSIP Visitor will be interesting for several CoSIP projects. Likewise from next year on, you can suggest conferences, workshops, or summer schools for being associated with CoSIP to receive partial funding from CoSIP.

The precise form of those proposals will be broadcasted at the beginning next year. The submission is then again via cosip@math.tu-berlin.de.

Special Offers for Female Participants

As we all know, in the areas of electrical engineering and mathematics, the number of female professors is significantly smaller than the number of their male colleagues. Hence we received additional funding for supporting female participants in various ways.

For this, we would like to set up an emailing list for female participants, also so that we get an overview of who is on board. Hence if you are a female participant yourself, please send your name to cosip@math.tu-berlin.de, or if a female participant is in your group, please ask her to notify us.

Winter School on Compressed Sensing at TU Berlin

The Winter School on Compressed Sensing associated with CoSIP which took place at the TU Berlin last week was very successful with more than 70 mostly young participants. We could listen to 14 lectures ranging from basic theory of compressed sensing over extensions of the theory such as matrix completion and phase retrieval to applications such as recovery of missing data. A tutorial at the end gave additional help for young participants to get accustomed to theoretical aspects of compressed sensing.

Webpage CoSIP

It is our intention to encourage and support interactions also between projects. For this, we will soon set up webpages, which every project can design to, in particular, present their methodologies and goals to the other participants of CoSIP.

If you have additional ideas in this direction, please let us know.

First CoSIP Colloquium

We were asked by several participants about the date of the first CoSIP colloquium. We are currently discussing with the DFG, but shall be able to announce the date - which will be in the middle of next year - very soon.

Workshop on "Data Science: Theory and Applications" at RWTH Aachen University

A one-day workshop "Data Science: Theory and Applications" took place at RWTH Aachen University on October 26th 2015. Experts from a variety of disciplines presented their work related to Data Science, covering its theoretical as well as practical aspects. 15 talks were given at the workshop on topics related to compressed sensing, statistics and machine learning and their applications. The full program and presentation slides are available at: http://ti.rwth-aachen.de/DS2015.
