David Pfau : Feb 22nd

This week I'll be presenting a machine learning classic, Lee and Seung's "Algorithms for Non-negative Matrix Factorization".  It's a short paper, so you won't be too distracted from your CoSyNe preparations.  If I have time I'll also present some parts of "Online Learning for Matrix Factorization and Sparse Coding" by Mairal et al, so if you're so inclined please peruse that as well.
