I will explain how essential information about the structure of symplectic manifolds is captured by algebraic data, and specifically by the non-commutative mixed Hodge structure on the cohomology of the Fukaya category. I will discuss computable Hodge theoretic invariants arising from twist functors, and from geometric extensions. I will also explain how the instanton-corrected Chern-Simons theory fits in the framework of normal functions in non-commutative Hodge theory and will give applications to explicit descriptions of quantum Lagrangian branes. This is a joint work with L. Katzarkov and M. Kontsevich.
