arXiv:2606. 11911v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Persistence diagrams are common representations in topological data analysis, but they do not naturally live in a vector space, and the statistical tools developed for comparing them have largely evolved separately from those used for downstream prediction.
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.
arXiv:2601. 21207v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Combinatorial and topological structures, such as graphs, simplicial complexes, and cell complexes, form the foundation of geometric and topological deep learning (GDL and TDL) architectures.
The paper introduces an unsupervised framework that merges manifold learning with rank‑based interpretable graph embeddings to address the Geometric and Interpretability Gaps in visual representation learning. By first analyzing contextual information on the dataset manifold and then producing sparse, self‑explainable embeddings, the method achieves dimensionality reduction while preserving or improving performance in image retrieval and semi‑supervised Graph Convolutional Network classification. Experiments across varied datasets confirm that these context‑aware representations maintain high downstream effectiveness.
arXiv:2607. 28259v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce Topoformer, a lightweight and scalable framework for graph representation learning that encodes topological structure into attention-friendly sequences.
The paper introduces a compositional graph embedding framework based on Aitchison geometry, where nodes are represented as simplex-valued mixtures over latent archetypal factors. By embedding these mixtures using isometric log-ratio coordinates, the method preserves Aitchison distances while allowing unconstrained optimization in Euclidean space, yielding intrinsically interpretable embeddings. The approach achieves competitive performance on node classification and link prediction tasks and enables principled component restriction through subcompositional coherence, allowing analysis of how archetype groups influence representations and predictions.
