Topological data analysis is an emerging field that applies the study of topological invariants to data. Perhaps the simplest of these invariants is the number of connected components or clusters. In this work, we explore a topological…
Topological data analysis asks when balls in a metric space $(X,d)$ intersect. Geometric data analysis asks how much balls have to be enlarged to intersect. We connect this principle to the traditional core geometric concept of curvature.…

Background: Over the last years, more and more biological data became available. Besides the pure amount of new data, also its dimensionality - the number of different attributes per data point - increased. Recently, especially the amount…
Data visualisation helps understanding data represented by multiple variables, also called features, stored in a large matrix where individuals are stored in lines and variable values in columns. These data structures are frequently called…
Two-dimensional data maps can visually reveal information about the relations between data instances. Popular techniques to construct data maps are t-SNE and UMAP. The resulting point-based visualizations, though, provide information only…
