Title: A journey into the mathematical universe: Topological Data Analysis. A briefintroduction and some applications.
Abstract: Data Science is a highly evolving discipline that presents many challenges. Forexample, in the case of an epidemic, how can we identify which socio–economic and socialparameters, tourist mobility, prevention and control measures have the greatest impact onthe dynamics of an epidemic? In recent years Topological Data Analysis has proved to be apowerful tool, a lens to highlight some dominant features of collective phenomena andexplore large and complex data sets. In this lecture we will see a brief introduction and howthis new discipline is highly multidisciplinary within mathematics itself, bringing togetherareas such as Space–Time Analysis, Algebraic Topology, Complex Networks, Alg. Linear andComputation.
The seminar will take place in Room S08 at the Faculty of Sciences.
