Greetings,

This Wednesday, we are pleased to have Vladimir Koltchinskii as a speaker. He will talk about estimation of low rank smooth kernels on weighted graphs. The title and abstract are below.

Title:

Estimation of Low Rank Smooth Kernels on Weighted Graphs.

Abstract:

We discuss a version of noisy matrix completion problem in
which the goal is to estimate a symmetric kernel defined on the vertex set of
a weighted graph based on i.i.d. noisy observations of the kernel at randomly
picked couples of vertices of the graph. The underlying assumption is that
