CISE Seminar: Anand D. Sarwate, The University of New Jersey, RutgersFlexible Tensor Decompositions for Learning and Optimization Many measurements or signals are multidimensional, or tensor-valued. To fit this data in existing machine learning pipelines, this data is vectorized, causing a blowup in the dimensionality. An alternative approach is to use tensor decompositions to create more structured models that respect the multidimensional structure. In this work…

Geoeconomic Fragmentation and the World EconomyA trend toward geoeconomic fragmentation (GEF) has emerged as a significant challenge with far-reaching economic implications for countries across the world. Through which channels is GEF expected to impact the world economy? What are potential global and regional output losses of GEF? And how does the measurement of geopolitical distance between country pairs affect international…

CISE Seminar: Tobias Fischer, Associate Professor, Queensland University of TechnologyVisual Place Recognition: Navigating Without GPS Using Bio-Inspired Approaches Knowing your location is fundamental to navigation – for humans, animals, and autonomous systems alike. But how can robots determine their position with confidence and precision in environments where satellite systems are unavailable or unreliable? The central theme of this talk explores Visual Place Recognition (VPR),…
