Workshop: Introduction to TDA
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.
