Workshop on Topology: Identifying Order in Complex Systems

Geometries of sensor outputs, inference, fusion and information processing
Ronald Coifman
11:00am|Hill Center 705, Rutgers University

Our goal is to describe extensions of the main tools of signal processing, denoising feature extraction, prediction, regression, to deal with more general data sources such as heterogeneous nonlinearly correlated multisensor inputs, questionnaires...

Workshop on Topology: Identifying Order in Complex Systems

Topological order: umbilics in chiral liquid crystals
Gareth Alexander
9:30am|Hill Center 705, Rutgers University

Recent experimental advances have opened the door to laboratory realisations of a large range of complex textures with distinctive topological properties, including knots, skyrmions and “Hopf fibrations” in optics, fluids, helical magnets and liquid...
