Abstract
One approach to studying large data sets is to interpret them as spatial objects and view the properties of data sets as configurations of these objects. In my talk I will give a gentle introduction to a relatively new field of topological data analysis, with a particular focus on persistent homology methods and Mapper. I will also discuss various applications to diverse fields such as materials physics, mathematical biology, genomics, and machine learning.
