Uploaded February 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

Recorded 26 February 2026. Andrew Blumberg of Columbia University presents "Manifold Learning and Optimal Transport in Genomics, Pt. 2/2" at IPAM's Mathematics of Cancer: Open Mathematical Problems Workshop.
Abstract: The purpose of this tutorial is to survey aspects of geometric data analysis that have seen substantial application in scientific inference from genomic data, with a particular focus on ideas coming from manifold learning (broadly construed) and closely related techniques from optimal transport.
