Workshop on Topological Data Analysis and Clay Lectures

The Fields Institute is a centre for mathematical research activity - a place where mathematicians from Canada and abroad, from academia, business, industry and financial institutions, can come together to carry out research and formulate problems of mutual interest. Our mission is to provide a supportive and stimulating environment for mathematics innovation and education.The Fields Institute promotes mathematical activity in Canada and helps to expand the application of mathematics in modern society.

Fields Institute

This event is part of the Thematic Program on Toric Topology and Polyhedral Products.

<p>Topological Data Analysis combines ideas from topology and also algebra, geometry, and analysis, with methods from statistics and computer science, for the purpose of analyzing contemporary data sets for which standard approaches are unsatisfactory. A motivating idea is that there is an underlying ''shape'' to the data and that new variants of some of the sophisticated tools of modern mathematics may be brought to bear to elucidate and learn from this structure.</p><p>Please note that included in this workshop are special Clay Lectures by Gunnar Carlsson (Mon and Wed at 10:00) and Shmuel Weinberger (Tues and Thurs at 13:30) which you'll need to register for here individually or in addition to the main workshop.</p>
