DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/GEOTOP-A/61/
 ">Tropical Geometry of Phylogenetic Tree Space</a>\nby Anthea Monod (Imper
 ial College - UK) as part of GEOTOP-A seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nBHV space is 
 a well-studied moduli space of phylogenetic trees that appears in many sci
 entific disciplines\, including computational biology\, computer vision\, 
 combinatorics\, and category theory. Speyer and Sturmfels identify a homeo
 morphism between BHV space and a version of the Grassmannian using tropica
 l geometry\, endowing the space of phylogenetic trees with a tropical stru
 cture\, which turns out to be advantageous for computational studies. In t
 his talk\, I will present the coincidence between BHV space and the tropic
 al Grassmannian. I will then give an overview of some recent work I have d
 one that studies the tropical Grassmannian as a metric space and the pract
 ical implications of these results on probabilistic and statistical studie
 s on sets of phylogenetic trees.\n
