Geomstats Hackathon
IHP. Salle 201
Geomstats Hackathon17-21 October 2022 - Institut Henri Poincaré
This hackathon is destined to anyone who is interested in implementations of statistics and learning on nonlinear manifolds. The goal is to gather future and current contributors of the open-source library Geomstats for a few days of collaborative coding.
About Geomstats
Geomstats is an open-source Python package for computations and statistics on nonlinear manifolds, such as hyperspheres, hyperbolic spaces, Lie groups of transformations, among others. As such, the package supports research within the fast growing field of Geometric (Deep) Learning.
In this context, Geomstats provides code to fulfill four objectives:
- Provide educational support to learn “hands-on” differential geometry and geometric statistics and learning, through its examples and visualizations.
- Foster research in differential geometry and geometric statistics by providing operations on manifolds to gain intuition on results of a research paper;
- Democratize the use of geometric statistics by implementing user-friendly geometric learning algorithms using Scikit-Learn API; and
- Provide a platform to share learning algorithms on manifolds.
The source code is freely available on GitHub. Geomstats has already found numerous applications, for example in the biomedical fields for machine learning applied to biological shape analysis. Typical usecases can be found within the notebooks folder.
Registration
To participate in the hackathon, please contact us at Courriel before September 16.
