The Unreasonable Effectiveness of
Numerical Linear Algebra in Bayesian Inverse Problems

 

Abstract

Inverse problems deal with recovering unknown causes from incomplete, noisy indirect observations of their effect. This task may be very difficult even when the observation model is linear, especially if the forward map is very smoothing. In this talk we show how, recently, numerical linear algebra and Bayesian inference have joined forces to provide amazing solutions to a wide range of challenging inverse problems.

The Conference

This one-day meeting will start at 10am to allow same-day travel.
It will be held in Room 617 Wachman Hall, Temple University, 1805 North Broad street, just north of Montgomery Avenue.
It will be an opportunity for graduate students and postdocs to present their research, and to meet other researchers.
There will be contributed talks and a poster session.

There will be no registration fee. In order to guarantee appropriate space in the lecture rooms, we ask every participant to please register in advance, even if you are not planning to give a talk.
Lunch will be provided.
