IR Tools Training Event in June 2021

IR Tools is a MATLAB Package of Iterative Regularization Methods and Test Problems for Linear Inverse Problems, which was first released in Summer 2018.
The University of Bath is hosting a virtual IR Tools training event, aimed at postgraduate students and researchers who would like to learn more about IR Tools and its usage, as well as understand the theory underlying linear inverse problem solvers and get some hands-on experiences in dealing with large-scale discrete inverse problems. Here are a few details:

  • Dates and Times: the event will run from Wednesday 02/06/2021 to Friday 04/06/2021, from 1PM to 4:30PM BST.
  • Location: on zoom (link to be provided to participants in due time).
  • Instructors: the three IR Tools co-authors — Prof Per Christian Hansen (http://people.compute.dtu.dk/pcha/, DTU), Prof James Nagy (http://www.mathcs.emory.edu/~nagy/, Emory University), Dr Silvia Gazzola (https://people.bath.ac.uk/sg968/, University of Bath).
  • Prerequisites: access to MATLAB, basic familiarity with MATLAB, basic background on numerical linear algebra.

To register your interest in attending the event, please fill in and submit this questionnaire: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfdlWAkOap-c7Go62CXHqNwDrsQal7tvOpaNtogs7vR0WWIig/viewform?usp=sf_linkDeadline for applications: 05/05/2021. 
You can learn more about IR Tools by visiting the page: http://people.compute.dtu.dk/pcha/IRtools/. IR Tools is available through github: https://github.com/jnagy1/IRtools
Topics to be addressed during the event include: introduction to regularization methods and why do we need them, the singular value decomposition of a matrix as a tool for analyzing linear inverse problems, popular spectral filtetring methods, popular iterative regularization methods for linear systems, strategies for handling nonlinear structured inverse problems, applications to inverse problems in computed tomography.
