CoSy Seminar: A walk through a general TDA pipeline and applications

Everyone is welcome and lunch is provided for the first 40 registrants. If you don't want to have lunch, you are welcome without registration.

Register for the lunch sandwich (no later than Sunday October 15th).

Abstract: Topological Data Analysis (TDA) has become a very successful field of mathematics, with an enormous growth in the last decades and with applications to many different areas. The main tool used is the computation of persistent homology, whose results are codified under the form of barcodes (also known as persistence diagrams). There is a bunch of methods that allow to express those barcodes as vectors, so that they can be used as input to machine learning processes.   

In this talk, we will have a walk through a typical pipeline in TDA, together with a review of different categories of vectorization methods, to move later to its adaptation to a specific context: the topological characterization of the spatial distribution of cells in a biological tissue.   

This is a seminar in the seminar series held by CIM (Centre for Interdisciplinary Mathematics).
