Neural Persistence is a prominent measure for quantifying neural network complexity, proposed in the emerging field of topological data analysis in deep learning. In this work, however, we find both theoretically and empirically that the…
Persistent homology, the study of holes that appear in data as one thickens balls centered around its points over time, has theoretically guaranteed stability. That is, small data perturbations guarantee small changes in the lifetimes of…
Persistent homology has become an important tool for extracting geometric and topological features from data, whose multi-scale features are summarized in a persistence diagram. From a statistical perspective, however, persistence diagrams…
Throughout this paper, a persistence diagram ${\cal P}$ is composed of a set $P$ of planar points (each corresponding to a topological feature) above the line $Y=X$, as well as the line $Y=X$ itself, i.e., ${\cal P}=P\cup\{(x,y)|y=x\}$.…
We study the problem of estimating a sequence of evolving probability distributions from historical data, where the underlying distribution changes over time in a nonstationary and nonparametric manner. To capture gradual changes, we…

We introduce principal curves in Wasserstein space, and in general compact metric spaces. Our motivation for the Wasserstein case comes from optimal-transport-based trajectory inference, where a developing population of cells traces out a…
