The Underlying Topology of Data - Dept of Math seminar series

Abstract:  Topology is the branch of mathematics concerned with shapes and their spatial properties. In this talk I'll show how several ideas from classic algebraic topology --- like cohomology, classifying spaces and vector bundles --- can be used in machine learning tasks such as dimensionality reduction, time series analysis and data alignment.  Zoom link: https://lafayette.zoom.us/j/98860598360
