We announce the following talk as part of the SFB/Transregio 161:
Speaker: Ross Whitaker
Title: Summarizing and Understanding Ensembles of Complex, High-Dimensional Objects
Time: Thursday, 16 May 2019 at 3.30 am
Room: Powerwall Room University of Stuttgart, VISUS, cellar
Abstract:
A variety of technologies developed in diverse areas such as medical imaging, industrial inspection, and oil and gas present a common challenge-which is that the analysis of models and/or data present scientists with large collections, or ensembles, of complex data objects. Often times, data analysists or application scientists benefit from a holistic view of the data. These views could be concise summarizes that allow people to develop intuitions about overall patterns or to confirm very general expectations, e.g. regarding data quality. This talk describes the use of data depth and rank statistics for organizing and visualizing collections of complex data objects.
