Biography

Yanting's research interests are mainly in algorithm design and analysis for inverse problems arising in computational sensing using statistical inference and optimization techniques. Additionally, she is generally interested in applied probability and convex analysis. Her PhD research focused on algorithmic and theoretical studies of approximate message passing, as well as provably convergent optimization algorithms for nonlinear diffractive imaging. Her postdoctoral work developed principled methods for dead time compensation for single-photon detectors based on Markov chain modeling.

- TALK Prof. Greg Ongie presents talk at MERL entitled Learning to Solve Inverse Problems in Computational Imaging: Recent Innovations
  Date & Time: Tuesday, October 12, 2021; 1:00 PM EST
  Speaker: Prof. Greg Ongie, Marquette University
  MERL Host: Hassan Mansour
  Research Areas: Computational Sensing, Machine Learning, Signal Processing
  Brief
  - Deep learning is emerging as powerful tool to solve challenging inverse problems in computational imaging, including basic image restoration tasks like denoising and deblurring, as well as image reconstruction problems in medical imaging. This talk will give an overview of the state-of-the-art supervised learning techniques in this area and discuss two recent innovations: deep equilibrium architectures, which allows one to train an effectively infinite-depth reconstruction network; and model adaptation methods, that allow one to adapt a pre-trained reconstruction network to changes in the imaging forward model at test time.
- NEWS Mouhacine Benosman has been invited to speak at the data-centric engineering summit held at the Alan Turing Institute
  Date: September 22, 2021
  Where: The Alan Turing Institute
  MERL Contact: Mouhacine Benosman
  Research Area: Dynamical Systems
  Brief
  - Mouhacine Benosman will give a talk about merging physical models with data-driven and machine learning methods for real-world application. The talk will include results about data-driven auto-tuning for feedback controllers with application to power amplifiers, extremum seeking and Gaussian processes for reduction/estimation of fluid dynamics models with application to indoor airflow modeling, and safe reinforcement learning for safety-critical and Sim2Real applications.
