Real Tree Vineyards have Vines

Michael Hull, Thomas Payne, Thomas Weighill

We show that every vineyard can be decomposed into vines, that is, every path in the space of persistence diagrams can be decomposed into a sequence of paths in $\mat…

Measuring Spatial Clustering via Metropolis-Hastings Diffusion Distance

Thomas Weighill, Chidinma Williams

We propose a novel measure of the discrepancy between two probability distributions and on a graph - which we call the diffusion distance - that measures the rate of conver…

Topological optimization with birth and death cochains

Thomas Weighill, Ling Zhou

We introduce the notion of birth and death cochains as generalized versions of birth and death simplices in persistent cohomology. We show that birth and death cochains (unlike bir…

Through the Grapevine: Vineyard Distance as a Measure of Topological Dissimilarity

Alvan Arulandu, Daniel Gottschalk, Thomas Payne +2

We introduce a new measure of distance between datasets, based on vineyards from topological data analysis, which we call the vineyard distance. Vineyard distance measures the exte…

Classification of Firn Data via Topological Features

Sarah Day, Jesse Dimino, Matt Jester +2

In this paper we evaluate the performance of topological features for generalizable and robust classification of firn image data, with the broader goal of understanding the advanta…

Generalized Dimension Reduction Using Semi-Relaxed Gromov-Wasserstein Distance

Ranthony A. Clark, Tom Needham, Thomas Weighill

Dimension reduction techniques typically seek an embedding of a high-dimensional point cloud into a low-dimensional Euclidean space which optimally preserves the geometry of the in…
