Talk recording
Using Topological Data Analysis (TDA) and data sets of the immune response during COVID-19, we employ here the mapper algorithm to simplify and visualize high dimensional data sets. Persistent shapes of the simplicial complexes of the data are observed. While the algorithms in TDA can bring important information, the computational study of the simplicial complexes remains unknown and is going to be discussed in this talk.
