| Title of Talk | The Shape of Data: An Introduction to Topological Data Analysis |
| Abstract | What does it mean for data to have "shape"? Can this idea of "shape" help us better analyze data? In this talk, I will introduce some basic ideas of algebraic topology that allow us to describe the "shape" of a data set, and discuss how these ideas can help us analyze data. We'll also see an example of how these techniques have been applied to fMRI brain data. This talk is entirely self-contained and appropriate for undergraduates at any level. |
