Rémi Gribonval becomes IEEE Fellow

Remi Gribonval has been elevated to the grade of IEEE Fellow by the IEEE Board of Directors for contributions to the theory and applications of sparse signal processing.

Spotlight at NIPS ’13

“Reconciling ‘priors’ & ‘priors’ without prejudice?” (R. Gribonval and P. Machart) got accepted (with a spotlight talk) at NIPS ’13. You can find an extended research report on HAL for more details.

The slides of the workshop on sparsity and learning are available online
