Course Summary

In many scientific domains, there is a rapid increase of the volume, sampling rate, and heterogeneity of the acquired information. This amplifies the role of higher order tensors for modeling, processing, analysis and data-driven inference. The blend of repeated experiments and time dynamics of some data elements necessitates the development of novel data science methods, powerful machine learning techniques, and automated artificial intelligence tools. This short course will present the current state-of-the-art approaches for tensor-based linear modeling and space-kime analytics. We will present a generalized framework for modeling and prediction of scalar, matrix, or tensor outcomes from observed tensor inputs. In addition, we will demonstrate the complex-time (kime) representation of longitudinal data, where the temporal event order is generalized to the (unordered) complex plane. This generalization transformed classical time-series to 2D kime-surfaces. Various biomedical and health applications will be showcased.

Instructors

Maryam Bagherian, University of Michigan, Welch Lab, MIDAS

Dr. Bagherian is a Michigan Data Science Fellow and an expert in applied and computational mathematics. Her research is focused on developing ML/AI algorithms and data science methods, e.g., multidimensional multimodal big data modeling. The primary applications of her work are in biomedical data science, health informatics, and genomic studies. Dr. Bagherian has developed new online tensor recovery and decomposition methods for couple tensors with simultaneous auxiliary information. These techniques are applied to multi-omics, spatial transcriptomics, and genomics datasets.

Miaoyan Wang, Statistics, Wisconsin-Madison

Dr. Miaoyan Wang is an assistant professor of statistics at UW-Madison. She is also a faculty affiliate in the Institute for Foundations of Data Science, a multi-University TRIPODS Phase II Initiative. Her research is in machine learning theory, nonparametric statistics, higher-order tensors, and applications to genetics. Her interdisciplinary research efforts have been reflected in her training. In 2015-2018, she was a postdoc at the Department of EECS at UC Berkeley and a Simons Math+X postdoc at University of Pennsylvania. She received a PhD in Statistics from the University of Chicago in 2015. She has won NSF CAREER award, a Best Student Paper Award (with her as advisor) from American Statistical Association, the Madison Teaching and Learning Excellence Fellow, and multiple prestigious young researcher awards in statistics, machine learning, and genetics.

Raj Guhaniyogi, TAMU

Dr. Rajarshi Guhaniyogi received his PhD in Biostatistics at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, under the supervision of Dr. Sudipto Banerjee. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher with Dr. David B. Dunson in the Department of Statistical Science at Duke University prior to joining the Department of Statistics at UC Santa Cruz as an Assistant Professor in 2014. In 2021, Dr. Guhaniyogi was recruited as an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics at Texas A&M University where he is developing massive dimensional parametric and non-parametric Bayesian methods motivated by improving practical performance in real world applications in batch and online data settings, using statistical theory to justify and guide the development of new methods. Dr. Guhaniyogi research interests lie broadly in development of Bayesian parametric and non-parametric methodology in complex biomedical and machine learning applications. His ongoing research focus is on scalable and distributed Bayesian inference for big data, dimensionality reduction, functional and object data (networks, tensor) analysis. Rajarshi draws his motivation from applications primarily from neuroscience, genetics, epidemiology, environmental science, forestry and social science. Rajarshi is a recipient of the 2016 University of California Hellman Fellowship.
