From tensor decomposition to slicing determinantal varieties
Student-Run Research Seminar| Speaker: | Tait Weicht, UC Davis |
| Location: | 3106 MSB |

I will be sharing some clever algorithms and useful techniques that I’ve learned in the course of a research project. Motivated by projected multi-reference alignment, the inverse problem I am studying, we will cover a well-known method for decomposing 3rd order tensors before going on to a more specialized method for how to solve linear systems with solutions that have a canonical polyadic decomposition. While these algorithms have deeper theoretical underpinnings in algebraic geometry, this talk will mostly focus on how to do the computations and the applications of these methods.
