Topological Data Analysis and Applications (Dagstuhl Seminar 23192)

Authors: Ulrich Bauer, Vijay Natarajan, and Bei Wang

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 13, Issue 5 (2023)


Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 23192 "Topological Data Analysis and Applications". The seminar brought together researchers with backgrounds in mathematics, computer science, and different application domains with the aim of identifying and exploring emerging directions within computational topology for data analysis. This seminar was designed to be a followup event to two successful Dagstuhl Seminars (17292, July 2017; 19212, May 2019). The list of topics and participants were updated to reflect recent developments and to engage wider participation. Close interaction between the participants during the seminar accelerated the convergence between mathematical and computational thinking in the development of theories and scalable algorithms for data analysis, and the identification of different applications of topological analysis.

Parallel Computation of Alpha Complexes for Biomolecules

Authors: Talha Bin Masood, Tathagata Ray, and Vijay Natarajan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 164, 36th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2020)


Abstract
The alpha complex, a subset of the Delaunay triangulation, has been extensively used as the underlying representation for biomolecular structures. We propose a GPU-based parallel algorithm for the computation of the alpha complex, which exploits the knowledge of typical spatial distribution and sizes of atoms in a biomolecule. Unlike existing methods, this algorithm does not require prior construction of the Delaunay triangulation. The algorithm computes the alpha complex in two stages. The first stage proceeds in a bottom-up fashion and computes a superset of the edges, triangles, and tetrahedra belonging to the alpha complex. The false positives from this estimation stage are removed in a subsequent pruning stage to obtain the correct alpha complex. Computational experiments on several biomolecules demonstrate the superior performance of the algorithm, up to a factor of 50 when compared to existing methods that are optimized for biomolecules.

Topology, Computation and Data Analysis (Dagstuhl Seminar 19212)

Authors: Michael Kerber, Vijay Natarajan, and Bei Wang

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5 (2019)


Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 19212 "Topology, Computation and Data Analysis". The seminar brought together researchers with mathematical and computational backgrounds in addressing emerging directions within computational topology for data analysis in practice. This seminar was designed to be a followup event after a very successful Dagstuhl Seminar (17292; July 2017). The list of topics and participants were updated to keep the discussions diverse, refreshing, and engaging. This seminar facilitated close interactions among the attendees with the aim of accelerating the convergence between mathematical and computational thinking in the development of theories and scalable algorithms for data analysis.
