Lehrinhalte
This graduate course is a foundation class on matrix analysis and computations, which are widely
used in many different fields, e.g., machine learning, computer vision, systems and control, signal and image processing, communications, networks, optimization, and many more…
Apart from the theory this course will also cover the design of efficient algorithm and it considers many different examples from the aforementioned fields including examples from social media and big data analysis, image processing and medical imaging, communication network optimization, and written text classification.
Specific topics: (i) basic matrix concepts, subspace, norms, (ii) linear least squares (iii) eigendecomposition, singular value decomposition, positive semidenite matrices, (iv) linear system of equations, LU decomposition, Cholesky decomposition (v) pseudo-inverse, QR decomposition (vi) advanced tensor decomposition, advanced matrix calculus, compressive sensing, structured matrix factorization
