Step 2

What is the difference between academic and industrial research projects? It is the focus. Narrow focus boosts the quality of a project and spares time. Applied scientists connect academic and industrial parts in theory and computational experiments. To narrow an industrial project one has to make a clear implementation plan. We discuss basic questions that an analyst and an expert discuss before planning.

The seminar

1. The warm-up 5-minute test
2. Linear models their role in neural networks and expert mixtures
3. Reporting in the academy and the industry
4. Plan the project
5. Game of planning: the crocodile
6. If someone did homework, we discuss

Homework

1. Step 1 homework reminder
2. Step 2 homework
3. Refresh in your memory the matrix decompositions and multilinear models for the next warm-up test, either
   1. look for Singular value decomposition, Principal component analysis, Tensor, Multilinear map, or
   2. do fun-reading, see 4.5 Singular Value Decomposition and 10.5 PCA in High Dimensions, and see L11-4, L11.5
