Albion College Mathematics and Computer Science Colloquium



Title: Topological Modeling of Complex Data
Speaker:Gunnar Carlsson
Professor
Department of Mathematics
Stanford University
Palo Alto, California, USA
Abstract: One of the fundamental problems faced by science and industry is that of making sense of large and complex data sets. To approach this problem, we need new organizing principles and modeling methodologies. One such approach is through topology, the mathematical study of shape. The shape of the data, suitably defined, is an important component of exploratory data analysis. In this talk, we will discuss the topological approach, with numerous examples, and consider some questions about how it will develop as mathematics.

A talk given at Joint Mathematics Meetings on 10 January 2018.
