Justin Solomon, an Associate Professor in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), is leveraging geometric techniques to tackle complex problems in data science. Quite often, these problems are seemingly unrelated to shapes. For example, when a…

Using the principles of geometry, Justin Solomon, an associate professor in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, is tackling complex problems in data science and computer graphics. Building on Euclid’s ancient foundations of geometry, Solomon is leveraging geometric techniques to solve problems that are seemingly unrelated to shapes. He asserts that the language…

Over two millennia ago, Greek mathematician Euclid laid the groundwork for the modern understanding of geometry. Today, that work serves as the bedrock for researchers like Justin Solomon, who uses geometry to address complex problems - many of which seem unrelated to shapes at first glance. Solomon is an associate professor at MIT's Department of…

Mathematician Justin Solomon is using modern geometric techniques to solve complex problems, often unrelated to shapes. He explains that geometric tools can be used to compare datasets, providing insight into the performance of machine-learning models. He asserted the significance of distance, similarity, curvature, and shape, all derived from geometry, in discussing data. His Geometric Data…
