The article introduces a new non‑archimedean metric, the cophenetic metric, defined on persistent homology classes of all degrees. It demonstrates that zeroth persistent homology combined with this metric and various hierarchical clustering algorithms yields statistically verifiable, commensurate topological information on multiple datasets. The resulting clusters, evaluated by silhouette score and Rand index, perform well, and the metric enables visualization of inter‑relations among persistent homology classes across all degrees via rooted trees.

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.

The paper demonstrates that persistent homology, a tool from topological data analysis, can objectively and interpretable distinguish artistic styles. It shows that PH can differentiate between artists from different currents, between artists within the same current, and can separate an artist’s real works from AI‑generated images in that artist’s style.
