Abtract: Machine learning using neural networks is a very powerful methodology which has demonstrated utility in many different situations. In this talk I will show how work in the mathematical discipline called topological data analysis can be used to (1) lessen the amount of data needed in order to be able to learn and (2) make the computations more transparent. We will work primarily w...
Abstract:We will discuss some connections between topology and number theory inspired by the studies of mapping degrees and achirality of manifolds
