Quick List of Resources for Topological Data Analysis with Emphasis on Machine Learning

This is just a quick list of resourses on TDA that I put together for @rickasaurus after he was asking for links to papers, books, etc on Twitter and is by no means an exhaustive list.

Survey Papers

Both Carlsson's and Ghrist's survey papers offer a very good introduction to the subject

Topology and Data by Gunnar Carlsson
Barcodes: The Persistent Topology of Data by Robert Ghrist

Other Papers and Web Resources

Extracting insights from the shape of complex data using topology A good introductory paper in Nature on the Mapper algorithm.

La importancia del Software Libre en la Ciencia

Para el primer post en este blog deseo escribir sobre algo que realmente importa. Al menos para mí. Traté de llegar al punto medular de lo que está detrás de lo que me dedico: ¿Cuáles son las razones fundamentales por las que amo tanto al Software Libre?
