ALBATROSS: Cheap Filtration Based Geometry via Stochastic Sub-Sampling

Andrew J. Stier, Naichen Shi, Raed Al Kontar +2

Topological data analysis (TDA) detects geometric structure in biological data. However, many TDA algorithms are memory intensive and impractical for massive datasets. Here, we int…
