Kelum Gajamannage, Low-rank data imputation using Hadamard deep autoencoders, with applications to fragmented trajectory reconstruction of collective motion

When: Friday, October 13 at 4:00 pm. Where: Fascitelli 040 Abstract: Data imputation is an essential preprocessing step in statistical learning that is to be performed before any technical analysis is conducted on partially observed data. Data originating from natural phenomena is low-rank due to diverse natural dependencies that a low-rank technique should primarily emphasize […]
