Welcome to the SF2956 HT21 Topological Data Analysis

Additional meeting where you can work and ask questions related to the projects and material of the course is scheduled for 27th October, 10:15-12:00 in the room D35.

Welcome to the course SF2956 HT 22 Topological Data Analysis!

We are glad to welcome you to SF2956 TDA course. Extracting actionable information from complex data may not be straightforward. Standard tools applied directly to data which is highly dimensional, or when noise is present can result in inaccurate and unreliable conclusions. For more accurate outcomes one strategy is to transform data into signatures that are less sensitive to the noise and irrelevant signals. There is a growing body of evidence from road network reconstructions, neuroscience, vehicle tracking, object recognition, protein structure understanding, suggesting effectiveness of topology based signatures. The aim of this course is to present how to extract topology based signatures and use them in practice.

For inspiration see Inspiration page and some of the projects student wrote in previous years of this course at Grades and projects page.
