Workshop: Introduction to TDA

Outline of the workshop (part of AMSI BioInfoSummer2022):


  • The course starts with brief description of the mathematical concepts of simplicial complexes and homology. We will then introduce PH and its properties.

  • We will then show and explore PH computations and what we can learn from them, and discuss applications (with a specific focus on biologically relevant contexts).


Keywords: Topological data analysis, data analysis, persistent homology, structured data, topological features.

Relevance: This workshop is intended for students and early career researchers interested in analysing complex biological data and systems.

Requirements: Basic knowledge of linear algebra, Julia and Python are helpful, but not necessary. A laptop is required to reproduce the computations.
