Afra Zomorodian: Persistent Homology and its Applications
In this talk, I motivate and describe persistent homology, an
algebraic tool that reveals the underlying structure of a multi-scale
view of a sampled space. After describing the theory, I present a few
applications briefly, including shape description, bilipid membrane
fusion, and localization. Time permitting, I will also talk about recent
results on multidimensional persistence.
