Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Topology, Geometry & Data Seminar - Jose Perea

November 17, 2015
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Dreese Lab 264

Title: Projective coordinates for the analysis of data

Speaker: Jose Perea (MSU)

Abstract: Why do we use topology to analyze data? Is it because it sounds good? maybe... or is it because we have readily computable invariants? perhaps...  but in the end, it is because we hope the invariants we compute can ultimately shed light on the data itself. I will show in this talk how one can use persistent (co)homology, the Brown representability theorem, and other tools, to produce maps from data to the appropriate real and complex projective spaces. I will give examples of how these projective coordinates provide useful representations for certain data sets.
