| Abstract: |
|---|
| This talk covers an ingenious integral calculus based on Euler characteristic, stemming from work on sheaves due to MacPherson and Kashiwara in the 1970s, and connecting back further to classical integral geometry. I will emphasize its novel utility in data management, particularly in aggregation of redundant
data and inverse problems over sensor networks. As often happens, applying these tools to practical problems suggests a new generalization of this calculus with deep connections to Morse theory. |
