Look Before You Lift: Visual and Quantitative Diagnostics for Topological Deep Learning

arXiv:2608. 15388v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Topological deep learning (TDL) methods rely on lifting raw data into higher-order discrete domains such as simplicial complexes, cell complexes, and hypergraphs.

HOPSE: Scalable Higher-Order Positional and Structural Encoder for Combinatorial Representations

arXiv:2505. 15405v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have proven highly effective at modeling relational data, pairwise connections cannot fully capture multi-way relationships naturally present in complex real-world systems.

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.

TopoAgent: A Structure-Aware Perception-to-Reasoning Framework for Diagram-to-Graph Topology Extraction with Large Vision-Language Models

The paper introduces TopoBench-180, a human‑verified benchmark of 180 structural diagrams with canonical graph annotations, and TopoAgent, a perception‑to‑reasoning framework that extracts graph topology from diagrams using large vision‑language models. TopoAgent combines grounded perception, global structural priors, node inventory construction, local‑to‑global relation reasoning, and consistency enforcement to progressively build the target graph. Experiments demonstrate that TopoAgent surpasses strong baselines, particularly in edge extraction, thereby advancing multimodal structured understanding for diagram‑to‑graph tasks.

Unreduced Persistence Diagrams for Topological Machine Learning

arXiv:2507. 07156v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Supervised machine learning pipelines trained on features derived from persistent homology have been experimentally observed to ignore much of the information contained in a persistence diagram.

Graph-Augmented Topological Internalization with Dual-Stream Classifiers for Medical Report Generation

The paper introduces GDMRG, a Graph-Augmented Dual-Stream Medical Report Generation framework that incorporates a Topological Knowledge Internalization module using a Graph Convolutional Network to encode disease co-occurrence priors. It employs a dual-stream classifier—one branch generating diagnostic prompts under topological constraints and an auxiliary branch dynamically calibrating decision boundaries for imbalanced samples—alongside a Diagnosis-Guided Spatial Attention mechanism to align visual features with clinical semantics. Experiments on MIMIC-CXR show competitive clinical efficacy and natural language fluency, with strong zero-shot performance on IU X-Ray.
