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.

arXiv:2510. 04100v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Topological mapping offers a compact and robust representation for navigation, but progress in the field is hindered by the lack of standardized evaluation metrics, datasets, and protocols.

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.

Spatial understanding is crucial for foundation models (FMs), and maps have long helped humans organize and reason about geographic information. This study examines whether choropleth maps remain useful for machine spatial understanding when models can directly process structured geodata.
arXiv:2607. 29440v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term multimodal memory must support not only retrieving relevant information but also computing over observations accumulated across interactions.
