Great news!! A fast, butterfly (aka FFT-like), implementation of the Noiselet Transform [1] is now integrated into the LazyLinop toolbox [2] – “a python toolbox to ease and accelerate computations with (“matrix-free”) linear operators.” Thank you to Pascal Carrivain and Rémi Gribonval from the OCKHAM/INRIA team [3], in ENS Lyon, France (where I’m currently invited for a sabbatical year in 25-26) for this implementation. The idea came from common discussions we had together (I share my office with Pascal at ENS Lyon) about possible additional butterfly transformations to complete the (already long) list of operators integrated to LazyLinop. The whole Noiselet Tansform (and its inverse) is described here in the LazyLinop documentation, with a demonstration code in python. Enjoy!

It provides glue to combine linear operators as easily as NumPy arrays, PyTorch/CuPy compatibility, standard signal/image processing linear operators, as well as advanced tools to approximate large matrices by efficient butterfly operators."

Some comments on the Noiselet Transform (special "LazyLinopt update") | Laurent Jacques

Updates: (22/04/26) Great news!! A fast, butterfly (aka FFT-like), implementation of the Noiselet Transform (see below) is now integrated into the LazyLinop toolbox – “a python toolbox to ease and accelerate computations with (“matrix-free”) linear operators.

Back to the wonderful CIRM (my last time here was in 2018), in Marseille, France for the workshop on "Blind Inverse Problems in Imaging", organized by Luca Calatroni, Emmanuel Soubies, and Pierre Weiss. I'm eager to attend the seminars tomorrow. More information here: https://conferences.cirm-math.fr/3349.html #Imaging #InverseProblem

New publication https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.111.205143

New algorithm for the #inverseproblem of Kohn-Sham #densityfunctionaltheory (#dft), i.e. to find the #potential from the #density.

Outcome of a fun collaboration of @herbst with the group of Andre Laestadius at #oslomet to derive first mathematical error bounds for this problem

@iscompsensing Applications for the ISCS 2025 Workshop are now open! https://www.iscs2025.com

2-3 June 2025, Luxembourg

This is an interesting event for PhD students and researchers since this workshop (organized before the ISCS symposium) actually refers to a 2-day summer school with 4 key international researchers (more info in the link) in the field of #optimization #inverseproblem solving, #opticalimaging and #radar systems.

Topics covered by this workshop will be about: Proximal Neural Networks; Wider Horizons in Optical Imaging with the Mesolens; and 2 Hands-on Tutorials: Track 1: DeepInverse: A Pytorch Library For Solving Imaging Inverse Problems With Deep Learning; Track 2: Build Your Own Radar with MIT’s Next-Generation Kit

The 2025 International Symposium of Computational Sensing (#iscs2025) will be held in Clervaux, Luxembourg, from 4-6 June 2025. Preceding the symposium, a 2-day workshop featuring lectures and hands-on tutorials will be held at the University of Luxembourg from June 2-3, 2025.

Symposium

The International Symposium on Computational Sensing (ISCS) brings together researchers from optical microscopy, electron microscopy, RADAR, astronomical imaging, biomedical imaging, remote sensing, and signal processing. With a particular focus on applications and demonstrators, the purpose of

Let's start designing a new course for applied mathematics students in #UCLouvain, #EPL on high dimensional data analysis with 3 wonderful reference books #inverseproblem #highDimensional #statistics #optimization #Sparsity #teaching

(boosting appreciated) The deadline for the postdoc opening described below has been extended to September 30th, 2024.

We have one postdoc opening in my research group, the Image and Signal Processing Group (ISPGroup), Applied Mathematics department, UCLouvain, Belgium, to work on the QuadSense project, a new project funded by the Belgian Fund for Scientific Research - FNRS. Topics: #InverseProblem #RankOneProjection #Imaging #RadioInterferometry #ComputationalSensing More information about this project and conditions:

First day of “Deep learning, image analysis, inverse problems, and optimization (DIPOpt)” was very fruitful. Three talks by Martin Storath, Odyssée Merveille, and Xiaohao Cai. In addition, I had the chance to present a poster on Electron Ptychography.
