DESCRIPTION:The use of algebraic methods -- specifically group theory\, re
 presentation theory\, and even some concepts from algebraic geometry -- is
  an emerging new direction in machine learning. The purpose of this tutori
 al is to give an entertaining but informative introduction to the backgrou
 nd to these developments and sketch some of the many possible applications
 \, including multi-object tracking\, learning rankings\, and constructing 
 translation and rotation invariant features for image recognition. The tut
 orial is intended to be palatable by a non-specialist audience with no pri
 or background in abstract algebra.
