An introduction to Graph Theory

-


Fr. Antony Puthussery CMI, CHRIST University, Bangalore was the resource person who gave an introduction to Graph Theory for Data Science students at CHRIST, Lavasa in August 2019. They were informed that the first paper on graph theory came in 1835 which is a year after Graph theory was initiated. At present papers are available for Data Science, Data Analytics, Business Analytics etc.

Through a world map and some connected points, the students got an idea of network connection, connection of servers, nodes (points), connection (branches), etc. they were given detailed information about applications of graph theory. They came to know that Google Map shows connections (paths/branches) from one location (point/node) to another. It uses GPS (working in the front end) and calculation of the fastest and shortest path (working in the back end). Although these maps have written-algorithms (30 years back) but can be modified anytime.

It was interesting to know that Social Media also shows connections of different people (points) from any part of the world. They were also briefed about Face Recognition which represent connections from one part of face to another as detected by any security system. The study of Face Recognition is a part of Image Processing. Fr. Antony Puthussery mentioned that Neural Network is used for optimisation and it has a molecular graph. He also spoke about Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, which is the seen application of Graph theory where one can use data and convert it into knowledge to analyse it further. The Data science students also got a very information about Graph, which is a collection of two things namely points/nodes (very important) and lines/connections. In all it was a very informative session and the students thanked Fr. Antony Puthussery for sharing the information. The lecture was coordinated by Dr Samiksha Shukla, HOD, Data Science.
