Applied and Computational Math Seminar

What is persistence? 

Prof. Wojciech Chacholski, Department of Mathematics, KTH 

Location:  Hill 005
Date & time: Wednesday, 24 October 2018 at 5:00PM - 6:00PM

Abstract: It is not surprising that different units and scales are used to measure different phenomena. So why the Gromov-Hausdorff and bottleneck distances are the only one used to measure inputs and outcomes of topological data analysis applied to a variety of different data sets? My aim is to explain and illustrate a new approach to persistence. I will present both mathematical and real life data examples illustrating effectiveness of our approach to improve various classification tasks.
