The machinery of topological data analysis becomes increasingly popular in a broad range of machine learning tasks, ranging from anomaly detection and manifold learning to graph classification. Persistent homology is one of the key…

Many social networks, e.g., Slashdot and Twitter, can be represented as directed graphs (digraphs) with two types of links between entities: mutual (bi-directional) and one-way (uni-directional) connections. Social science theories reveal…

In data clustering, it is often desirable to find not just a single partition into clusters but a sequence of partitions that describes the data at different scales (or levels of coarseness). A natural problem then is to analyse and compare…
