Message-passing graph persistence

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces Message‑Passing Graph Persistence (MGP), a new family of topological descriptors that integrates message‑passing into graph filtrations. By updating node embeddings at each filtration step and using them to determine persistence events and component representatives, MGP remains invariant under graph isomorphism and is proven to be strictly more expressive than existing PH‑based descriptors. Experiments on expressivity benchmarks and various graph classification and regression datasets demonstrate that MGP outperforms other PH‑based methods on most 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.

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.
