The first application is on computer-aide d drug discovery\, utilizing Multiparameter Persistence for graph represen tation learning. Our second application revolves around cancer detection f rom histopathological images via cubical persistence. We apply our methodo logies across five distinct cancer types\, demonstrating superior performa nce compared to state-of-the-art deep learning methods. The talk is access ible to graduate students in math\, science\, and engineering\, assuming n o prior background in topology or machine learning.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/BilTop/73/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
