Algebraic Geometry for statisticsStatistics

I have heard about uses of Algebraic Geometry in statisticsStatistics and Machine Learning. I wanted to try to learn a bit about this topics. I don't know nearly anything about algebraic geometryAlgebraic Geometry, but I have background in math, and I know about basic group theory, rings fields and some commutative algebra. My questions are:

  1. What are the Algebriac Geometric concepts I should learn that are connected to applications in statStats/ML (I suppose only a portion of what is usually taught in Algebraic Geometric courses and books is useful).

  2. Can you recommend some books / introductory papers for someone with my background? I don't mean standard textbooks for AG but something that focuses on concepts used in applications.
