AGATE Seminar
Applied Geometry, Algebra, and Topology in Edinburgh
Applied Geometry, Algebra, and Topology in Edinburgh (AGATE)
AGATE is an informal seminar for anyone at the University of Edinburgh who is interested in applied aspects (broadly construed) of geometry, algebra and topology. AGATE’s remit spans topics including algebraic statistics, geometric deep learning, and topological data analysis. The seminar is open to computational, theoretical and statistical research as well as domain-specific applications.
When: Wednesdays 15:05 to 16:00
Autumn 2024 Location: 3.10/3.11 Dugald Stewart Building
Organizers: Sjoerd Beentjes, Darrick Lee, and Emily Roff
For the first semester, all talks will be by internal speakers. We welcome research talks and expository talks, by faculty, postdocs and students. You could tell us about your own latest paper, or something you’ve just read and found exciting. You could tell us the story of an interdisciplinary collaboration (what worked? what didn’t?). Or you might like to give a “What is…?”-style introduction to your broad area of research. To propose a talk, email Sjoerd, Darrick or Emily.
To join the mailing list, send an email to sympa at mlist.is.ed.ac.uk with nothing in the subject line and in the message body put the following:

Path Signatures in Machine Learning
The path signature is a way to represent a path as an infinite sequence of tensors. We provide a high level introduction to signatures, highlighting the algebraic and geometric aspects of this construction, and discuss how this can be used to study sequences (time series) in machine learning.
