Time: 4:10pm
Algebraic Topology can be used as a tool for the qualitative analysis of high dimensional data. Applications require the development of techniques which permit the estimation of homology in situations where one is onlky given a finite set of points (a "point cloud") sampled from an underlying space. We will discuss these methods and describe at least one example, from natural image statistics.
Talk followed by refreshments (e.g. pizza and beer) at a nearby establishment.
