On the Notion of “Information” in Inverse Problems
In inverse problems, one would like to reconstruct a spatially variable function from measurements of a system in which this function appears as a coefficient or right-hand side. Examples include biomedical imaging and seismic imaging of the earth. In many inverse problems, practitioners have an intuitive notion of how much one “knows” about the coefficient in different […]

Stay Flexible, Get Lucky: Nonlinear Approximation and Random Sampling Meet Scientific Machine Learning
Nonlinear approximation and random sampling are two vital mathematical pillars of machine learning. On the one hand, nonlinear approximation provides flexible models, such as sparse polynomials or deep neural networks, able to accurately represent very complex functions. On the other hand, random sampling allows us to solve data-starved inverse problems via, e.g., compressive sensing. In […]
