Spring 2001Joint IDR-IMA Workshop:Ideal Data RepresentationApril 9-13, 2001 Cosponsored by the Army Research Office Organizers: Ronald

Advances in communication, sensing, and computational power have led to an explosion of data. The size and varied formats for these datasets challenge existing techniques for transmission, storage, querying, display, and numerical manipulation. This leads to the paradoxical situation where experiments or numerical computations produce rich, detailed information, for which, at this point, no adequate analysis tools exist. Recently, a research consortium of scientists from various disciplines including mathematics, statistics, computer science and engineering has been formed to address this problem. The consortium, known as The Center for Ideal Data Representation (IDR) puts forward the premise that the performance required for handling the large data sets that arise in scientific applications will require significant advances in data representation and that these advances are most likely to come through the development of new theories and technologies in the area of multiscale decompositions. The primary focus of the IDR initiative is on redundant systems such as frames, dictionaries and libraries of bases, oversampled signals and more. The scientific advances of the consortium in data representation will have wide spread applications. The application areas that are already being addressed are image and signal processing (including compression, detection and registration) A/D and D/A conversion, computer graphics, networking trafficking, and interactive visualization of solutions to PDEs. There are currently fifteen members in the IDR center, and more than thirty junior members (post-doctoral fellows, and research students). In addition, the center has official ties with several groups and individuals inside and outside the U.S. More information on IDR can be found from the website: www.waveletidr.org The core of this workshop will be made up of IDR members and their associates, augmented with the invitation of several distinguished scientists. The program will consist of selected lectures, given by distinguished researchers in the field and in the application domains. Each such lecture will be followed by an informal discussion among the participants concerning present and future research challenges. Additional time will be allotted for free collaboration among the participants inside and outside the lecture areas. The research topics to be addressed during the workshop will include: (i) multiresolution and wavelet decompositions, (ii) wavelet frames and other redundant systems such as dictionaries and libraries of bases, (iii) nonlinear methods, including greedy algorithms and adaptive pursuit, (iv) other time-frequency decompositions (such as Gabor systems) (v) feature detection systems including curvelets and ridgelets. Special attention will be given to potential applications in (a) image and signal processing, (b) data compression and encoding, (c) network trafficking, (d) feature extraction and registration, (e) multiscale computer aided design, (f) visualization of solutions to PDEs, (g) processing digital terrain elevation maps, (h) biological sciences.
