"PLEASE: Projections, Learning, and Sparsity for Efficient data-processing" (PLEASE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"Sparse models are at the core of many research domains where the large amount and high-dimensionality of digital data requires concise data descriptions for efficient information processing. A flagship application of sparsity is compressed sensing, which exploits sparsity for data acquisition using limited resources. Besides sparsity, a key pillar of compressed sensing is the use of random low-di ...
