Topology-induced Operators Reveal Complementary Graph Representations without Training

The paper demonstrates that high‑quality graph embeddings can be produced without complex models or training by propagating random features through topological structures derived from random walks and anonymous walks. These training‑free embeddings capture node proximity and structural roles, respectively, and perform competitively on node, edge, and graph tasks while often requiring less computation. Combining the two embedding types further improves inference quality for some tasks.

Combinatorial Network-Based Manifold Topological Deep Learning for Image Analysis

Combinatorial Network-Based Manifold Topological Deep Learning (CNMTDL) is a new framework that represents medical images as discrete manifolds and decomposes them into three Hodge components. Features from these components are concatenated and fed into a combinatorial complex architecture, enabling higher‑order message passing between 0‑cells and 2‑cells via attention‑based blocks. CNMTDL was evaluated on six 2D and 3D datasets from the MedMNIST v2 benchmark, showing improved performance for medical image analysis.

Topological Neural Operators

arXiv:2606. 09806v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Topological Neural Operators (TNOs), a principled framework for operator learning on cell complexes that lifts neural operators (NOs) from functions on points and/or edges to topological domains.
