From Turbulent Flows to Video Games: Managing Large-Scale Data with Tensor Decomposition

Abstract: The rapid advancement of large-scale parallel computing created a surge of interest in developing high-fidelity digital twins for complex systems. However, the computational demands for training these models are immense, requiring vast amounts of data. As the spatial and temporal resolution of simulations increases, even data storage becomes a critical bottleneck. This talk presents how low-rank tensor decomposition methods can be used to exploit the structure in large-scale data. We showcase a diverse array of applications, from 3D turbulent Navier-Stokes simulations to Minecraft gameplay videos, demonstrating the versatility and power of these techniques.
