We discuss the task of reconstructing the topological map of an environment based on the sequences of locations visited by a mobile agent ? this occurs in systems neuroscience, where one runs into the task of reconstructing the global topological map of the environment based on activation patterns of the place coding cells in hippocampus area of the brain. A similar task appears in the context of establishing wifi connectivity maps.
