Frank Stones Memorial Colloquium Talk Monday, March 25, 4:00 - 5:00 in TUC 352
Baris Coskunuzer from the University of Texas at Dallas will speak on Topological Machine Learning and Applications in Drug Discovery and Cancer Detection.
The talk will be in Tucker Technology Center 352, and refreshments will be served
beforehand at 3:30 pm in Tucker Technology Center 300.
Abstract: In this talk, we'll introduce fundamental techniques in topological machine learning
and showcase their application in two specific contexts. The first application is
on computer-aided drug discovery, utilizing Multiparameter Persistence for graph representation
learning. Our second application revolves around cancer detection from histopathological
images via cubical persistence. We apply our methodologies across five distinct cancer
types, demonstrating superior performance compared to state-of-the-art deep learning
methods. The talk is accessible to graduate students in math, science, and engineering,
assuming no prior background in topology or machine learning.
