Title A (bittersweet) topological data analysis aperitif
Abstract In recent years the statistical analysis of topological signatures computable from a possibly high-dimensional point cloud has attracted increasing attention from a theoretical as well as applied point of view. In this talk I will informally review the basic techniques and main inferential results available in the TDA toolkit showing them in action (...with their pros-&-cons...) on two classification problems related to activity tracking tasks (joint with Tullia Padellini).
