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.

From Persistence to Survival: Hypothesis Testing, Effect Sizes and Vectorisation for Topological Features

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.

Persistent Homology of Time Series through Complex Networks

The paper introduces a unified pipeline that classifies univariate time series by first converting them into graphs using one of five constructions from three families (visibility, transition, proximity). The resulting graph is turned into a dissimilarity matrix, from which a Vietoris–Rips filtration produces persistence diagrams that are vectorized via persistence landscapes and topological summary statistics. Experiments on twelve UCR benchmarks reveal that no single graph construction dominates, diffusion distance consistently outperforms shortest-path metrics, and persistence-based features remain robust to noise.

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.

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.
