Topological data analysis (TDA) is rapidly developing as a way of finding structure in data that can bring analytical insights. It has great potential in Health Informatics and Bioinformatics -- both of which need ways to distill the essence form the sea of data that threatens to drown conventional analysis. This project provides travel support for students to attend a workshop on Topological Data Analysis at the 7th ACM-BCB, the conference for ACM SigBIO, on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics. As such, it will increase exposure of students in BCB to the tools and researchers in TDA, and students in TDA to the rich and varied data sets in BCB. Thus, this project, and the workshop in general, will facilitate new collaborations between the TDA experts and BCB researchers that can lead to new analyses for increased understanding in medicine and health. Priority will be given to supporting student applicants from groups that are underrepresented in science. Slides from presentations as well as videos of the talks will be made available to the public on the conference web page.

拓扑数据分析(TDA)作为一种在数据中发现结构的方法正在迅速发展，这种方法可以带来分析方面的见解。它在健康信息学和生物信息学方面具有巨大的潜力--这两者都需要从威胁淹没传统分析的海量数据中提取本质。该项目为学生参加第七届ACM-BCB的拓扑数据分析研讨会提供差旅支持，这是ACM SigBIO关于生物信息学、计算生物学和健康信息学的会议。因此，它将增加BCB的学生对TDA的工具和研究人员的接触，以及TDA的学生对BCB丰富多样的数据集的接触。因此，该项目和整个研讨会将促进TDA专家和BCB研究人员之间的新合作，从而产生新的分析，以增进对医学和卫生的了解。将优先支持来自科学界代表性不足的群体的学生申请者。发言的幻灯片以及演讲的视频将在会议网页上向公众提供。
