The generalized Haar-Walsh transform on graph and further applications on matrices

Student-Run Research Seminar

Speaker: Yiqun Shao, UC Davis
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Thu, Oct 12 2017, 12:10PM

My research is a continuation of previous PHD student Jeff Irion's work. The GHWT, generalized Haar-Walsh transform, is useful for data analysis on graph, for example, data compression or noise reduction. It involves recursive partitioning of the graph through fiedler vector of graph laplacian, building wavelet dictionary with the partition tree and searching best basis of the data set on the graph.

We will first give a short description of GWHT. Then we will introduce a new best-basis search algorithm with time-frequency analysis. Finally, we will show how to extend the applications of GHWT to matrices, such as term-document matrix in text analysis.
