Doughnut or Mickey Mouse? Detecting Toroidal Structure in Data through Persistent Cup-Length
Ekaterina S. Ivshina, Galit Anikeeva, Ling Zhou
Understanding the structure of high-dimensional data is fundamental to neuroscience and other data-intensive scientific fields. While persistent homology effectively identifies bas…
