CAT 2015
19th -20th June 2015
Topological Data Analysis
overview
One of the biggest challenges of the information age is the mining and understanding of data. Mathematics plays a crucial part in the development of essential tools for this. In the last 10-15 years topological methods and in particular persistent homology has matured into a field of its own right which has seen many applications in image recognition, biology and network analysis.
The purpose of this conference is to bring together international researchers working in topological data analysis and in particular persistent homology to discuss new developments and challenges for the future.
location
The conference will take place in lecture room L1 (Friday) and L3 (Saturday) of the Andrew Wiles Building at the Mathematical Institute in Oxford.
schedule
Gunnar Carlsson will give the departmental colloquium at 4:00pm and participants of the workshop are invited to the colloquium reception at 5:30pm. The conference will close on Saturday by 5:00pm.
