Shape of Data in Biology - Extending the PH Pipeline

Explore the application of topological data analysis in understanding complex biological systems through this insightful lecture. Dive into the power of persistent homology in analyzing knotted proteins and learn about the challenges in interpreting topological summaries. Discover hyperTDA, an innovative approach that encodes local topological information into a hypergraph, offering an interpretable and automated perspective on data analysis. Examine how this method can be applied to spatial curve datasets in ecology, physics, and biology, including its ability to differentiate between synthetic trajectories and quantify species movements in noisy or limited data scenarios. Gain valuable insights into the intersection of algebraic topology and biological data analysis, and understand how these advanced techniques can reveal hidden structures and patterns in complex scientific datasets.
