Let’s build open source tensor libraries for data science
[A version of this post appears on the O’Reilly Radar blog.] Tensor methods for machine learning are fast, accurate, and scalable, but we’ll need well-developed libraries. Data scientists frequently find themselves dealing with high-dimensional feature spaces.…

How signals, geometry, and topology are influencing data science
[A version of this post appears on the O’Reilly Strata blog.] I’ve been noticing unlikely areas of mathematics pop-up in data analysis. While signal processing is a natural fit, topology, differential and algebraic geometry aren’t exactly…
