Title: On the Applications of Topology
Abstract: In recent years, techniques originating in topology have been adapted to the study of large and complex data sets. In this talk I will present two of the most prominent topological methods: persistent homology and mapper. I will also show numerous applications to computer vision, biology, medicine etc. and briefly explain how they can be used in combination with traditional machine learning techniques.
