Student Seminar Series
Mon, Nov 05, 2012 @ 12:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
University Calendar
The Student Seminar Series will allow students to practice their research talks by presenting to one another. Ph.D. students will present their research to fellow Ph.D. students at each seminar session, and each student will be able to gain feedback from their peers.
The MHI Ph.D. Scholars will give presentations at the 1st Student Seminar Series event on 11/5 and explain the structure. Then students could sign up for student seminars, which will be bi-weekly.
Invited: Electrical Engineering Ph.D. students (student organized event)
11/5 Presentation:
Speaker: Osonde Osoba, Electrical Engineering Ph.D. student
Talk Title: Noisy Expectation-Maximization and Some Applications
Talk Abstract: The expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is an iterative maximum-likelihood estimation scheme for corrupted data. Many generic statistical estimation methods are EM algorithms in disguise. I will talk about the Noisy Expectation-Maximization (NEM) algorithm. This is a modification of the EM scheme that achieves faster average convergence times than the regular EM algorithm. I will describe the theory behind the NEM algorithm. Then I will talk about some of the applications of the NEM algorithm.
Refreshments will be provided
