The Mathematical Shape of Big Science Data
Quanta Magazine on topological data analysis (TDA) and Ayasdi's commercialization of it — using persistent homology to find structure in high-dimensional data where standard clustering fails. One of the more intellectually ambitious 2013 data science articles.
Big Data and the Topologist
Low Dimensional Topology blog post on what topologists bring to big data — specifically topological data analysis (TDA) and the Mapper algorithm for finding shape in high-dimensional datasets. An unusual perspective on why geometric intuition matters for data analysis.
