Dictionary Learning – why we want to find structure in data
Univ.-Prof. Dr. Karin Schnass

In this talk we will first see why it is useful if data follows a low dimensional model, with simple examples such as lines or clusters. We will then discuss the type of structure corresponding to sparsity in a dictionary and some ideas how we could go about identifying (learning) such a dictionary from the data.

Dynamics in nonlinear PDEs
Univ.-Prof. Dr. Birgit Schörkhuber 

The description of dynamics in terms of time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs) plays a fundamental role in natural sciences and applications. In many models, nonlinearities appear naturally due to self-reinforcing processes. Despite huge progress in the last century, the mathematical understanding of nonlinear time-dependent PDEs is still limited, in particular, when it comes to the detailed description of the dynamics. Consequently, the development of new analytic tools is a very active and challenging area of mathematical research. In this talk, I will give a short overview on mathematical questions that arise in this context and phenomena that typically occur in nonlinear models, including the formation of singularities in finite time.

Im Anschluss daran laden wir zu einem kleinen Buffet ein.
