Information on the Lecture: Geometric Data Science (WS 2020/2021)

General information

Topic

Geometric data arise naturally in many scientific fields such as computational anatomy, brain connectivity, molecular biology, meteorology, oceanology, online navigation, social networks, and finance. Moreover, in everyday-life applications, depth-enhanced image data is produced by time-of-flight sensors in cars, game consoles, and recently also cell phone cameras. Analyzing such geometric data is a major challenge, as the configuration spaces of e.g. curves, surfaces, diffeomorphisms, graphs, etc. are infinite-dimensional nonlinear manifolds or more general stratified spaces. This course develops theoretical foundations for geometric data science, which are rooted in infinite-dimensional Riemannian geometry and combine methods of machine learning, statistics, and stochastics.

Announcements

  • The first exercise sheet is due on November 11 at 10:15. 
  • The first exercise class will be held on November 13 at 12:15.
  • The last two exercise classes on February 5 and 12 will be held in a different format: we will collaboratively implement diffeomorphic landmark matching in the geomstats software library.
  • For this reason, there is no exercise sheet to be solved for the last session.
