Everything about Topological data analysis

Analysis of datasets using techniques from topology

In applied mathematics, topological data analysis (TDA) is an approach to the analysis of datasets using techniques from topology. Extraction of information from datasets that are high-dimensional, incomplete and noisy is generally challenging. TDA provides a general framework to analyze such data in a manner that is insensitive to the particular metric chosen and provides dimensionality reduction and robustness to noise. The topological foundation bestows functoriality—the consistent translation of objects and relationships among them, making it amenable to other modern mathematical tools. Wikipedia →
