Welcome!
Higher-order tensor methods are intensively studied in many disciplines nowadays. The developments gradually allow us to move from classical vector and matrix based methods in applied mathematics and mathematical engineering to methods that involve tensors of arbitrary order. This transition is pivotal for signal processing, data analysis and many related fields. An important trend is the joint analysis of multiple data sets by coupled decompositions of several matrices and/or tensors.
The first two days of this summer school are intended as a basic yet solid introduction to tensor decompositions and applications in signal processing. This part consists of lectures by Lieven De Lathauwer and computer exercises. After this general introduction, the next three days will feature invited lectures by experts. The second part also includes an end-of-project knowledge transfer from ERC Biotensors (PI: Sabine Van Huffel) under the form of lectures and demos. Participants will be given the opportunity to present their own work in a poster and obtain feed-back from the course tutors.
The summer school is supported by the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP), the KU Leuven Arenberg Doctoral School for Science, Engineering & Technology (ADS), the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) / ERC Advanced Grant: BIOTENSORS (n° 339804) and the IEEE-EMBS Benelux chapter.
