Masters Thesis Presentation & CS Undergraduates Honors Presentations
Join us Wednesday, April 16 at 2 PM! João De Oliveira Pinheiro thesis titled “Advances in Tensor Decompositions”, supervised by Dr. Grey Ballard, explores how mathematical insights and computational innovation converge in the evolving world of tensor decompositions.
Abstract: Tensors are essential in modern-day computational and data sciences. This work presents recent advances in tensor decompositions which are techniques that break down complex multidimensional arrays into smaller structured components. There are two projects presented in this thesis. The first project applies tensor decompositions on searches for new algorithms for fast matrix multiplication. The second project focuses on the development of scalable, adaptive methods for compressing massive data sets. Join to discover how mathematical insights and computational innovation converge in the evolving world of tensor decompositions.
We will have our Computer Science Undergraduates who will graduate with Honors to present their works in the week of April 21.
