Congratulations to Dr. Ballard and Dr. Devarakonda for their funded grant proposal from the Department of Energy titled Tensor-based Streaming Algorithms for Scientific Data Compression.
Dr. Ballard and Dr. Devarakonda will work with collaborators at Argonne National Laboratory, NC State University, and Tufts University to develop a suite of randomized and tensor-based techniques to address compression of data and models in scientific applications. The datasets they will tackle involve observations, experiments, and simulations that are generated by Department of Energy user facilities (e.g., the Advanced Photon Source). The project seeks to unlock the multidimensional structure of this data by computing compressed approximations via tensor decompositions.
