Title: The underlying Topology of Data

Abstract: Topology is the branch of mathematics concerned with shapes and their spatial properties. In this talk I카지노 게임 컬렉션™ll show how several ideas from classic algebraic topology 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ like cohomology, classifying spaces and vector bundles 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ can be used in machine learning tasks such as dimensionality reduction, time series analysis and data alignment.

Dr. Perea earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Stanford 카지노게임사이트 in 2011, and a B.Sc. in Mathematics from Universidad del Valle (Summa cum laude and Valedictorian) in 2006. He was a postdoc in the depart- ment of Mathematics at Duke from 2011 to 2015, and a long term visitor of the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) at the 카지노게임사이트 of Minnesota during the Fall of 2014. In August of 2015 he joined Michigan State 카지노게임사이트 as an Assistant Professor with joint appointments in the department of Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering (CMSE), and the department of Mathematics. Dr. Perea moved to Northeastern 카지노게임사이트 in the Fall of 2021 as an Associate Professor in the department of Mathematics and the Khoury College of Computer Sciences.

The work of Dr. Perea has been supported by grants from DARPA, the National Science Foundation, the Center for Business and Social Analytics, and an NSF CAREER award.
