Morphological neurons, that is morphological operators such as dilation and erosion with learnable structuring elements, have intrigued researchers for quite some time because of the power these operators bring to the table despite their…

We propose to study neural networks' loss surfaces by methods of topological data analysis. We suggest to apply barcodes of Morse complexes to explore topology of loss surfaces. An algorithm for calculations of the loss function's barcodes…

Consider the space of continuous functions on a geometric tree $X$ whose persistent homology gives rise to a finite generic barcode $D$. We show that there are exactly as many path connected components in this space as there are merge trees…

Topological data analysis uses tools from topology -- the mathematical area that studies shapes -- to create representations of data. In particular, in persistent homology, one studies one-parameter families of spaces associated with data,…

Persistent homology (PH) has been widely applied to graph data to extract topological features. However, little attention has been paid to how different distance functions on a graph affect the resulting persistence barcodes and their…

A central challenge in topological data analysis is the interpretation of barcodes. The classical algebraic-topological approach to interpreting homology classes is to build maps to spaces whose homology carries semantics we understand and…

Functional brain connectivity changes dynamically over time, making its representation challenging for learning on non-Euclidean data. We present a framework that encodes dynamic functional connectivity as an image representation of…

Complex networks encountered in biology are often characterized by significant structural diversity. Whether it be differences in the three-dimensional structure of allosteric proteins, or the variation among the micro-scale structures of…

Neuronal morphology encodes critical information about circuit function, development, and disease, yet current methods analyze topology or graph structure in isolation. We introduce GraPHFormer, a multimodal architecture that unifies these…

Classification of large and dense networks based on topology is very difficult due to the computational challenges of extracting meaningful topological features from real-world networks. In this paper we present a computationally tractable…

In medical image analysis, feature engineering plays an important role in the design and performance of machine learning models. Persistent homology (PH), from the field of topological data analysis (TDA), demonstrates robustness and…

This paper is a cursory study on how topological features are preserved within the internal representations of neural network layers. Using techniques from topological data analysis, namely persistent homology, the topological features of a…

Neural networks can be thought of as applying a transformation to an input dataset. The way in which they change the topology of such a dataset often holds practical significance for many tasks, particularly those demanding non-homeomorphic…

Link prediction is an important learning task for graph-structured data. In this paper, we propose a novel topological approach to characterize interactions between two nodes. Our topological feature, based on the extended persistent…

Understanding the structure of high-dimensional data is fundamental to neuroscience and other data-intensive scientific fields. While persistent homology effectively identifies basic topological features such as "holes," it lacks the…

In many scenarios, especially biomedical applications, the correct delineation of complex fine-scaled structures such as neurons, tissues, and vessels is critical for downstream analysis. Despite the strong predictive power of deep learning…

Tumor shape is a key factor that affects tumor growth and metastasis. This paper proposes a topological feature computed by persistent homology to characterize tumor progression from digital pathology and radiology images and examines its…

Neural network training is commonly based on SGD. However, the understanding of SGD's ability to converge to good local minima, given the non-convex nature of loss functions and the intricate geometric characteristics of loss landscapes,…

We propose a statistical framework to identify topological differences in two populations of random geometric objects. The proposed framework involves first associating a topological signature with random geometric objects and then…

This work presents a procedure to extract morphological information from neuronal cells based on the variation of shape functionals as the cell geometry undergoes a dilation through a wide interval of spatial scales. The targeted shapes are…
