The persistence diagram, which describes the topological features of a dataset, is a key descriptor in Topological Data Analysis. The "Discrete Morse Sandwich" (DMS) method has been reported to be the most efficient algorithm for computing…
This paper presents an algorithm for the efficient approximation of the saddle-extremum persistence diagram of a scalar field. Vidal et al. introduced recently a fast algorithm for such an approximation (by interrupting a progressive…
We consider the problem of efficiently computing a discrete Morse complex on simplicial complexes of arbitrary dimension and very large size. Based on a common graph-based formalism, we analyze existing data structures for simplicial…
We present a parallelizable algorithm for computing the persistent homology of a filtered chain complex. Our approach differs from the commonly used reduction algorithm by first computing persistence pairs within local chunks, then…
This paper presents an efficient algorithm for the progressive approximation of Wasserstein barycenters of persistence diagrams, with applications to the visual analysis of ensemble data. Given a set of scalar fields, our approach enables…
Matrix reduction is the standard procedure for computing the persistent homology of a filtered simplicial complex with $m$ simplices. Its output is a particular decomposition of the total boundary matrix, from which the persistence diagrams…
The Morse-Smale complex is a well studied topological structure that represents the gradient flow behavior between critical points of a scalar function. It supports multi-scale topological analysis and visualization of feature-rich…
Numerous models for supervised and reinforcement learning benefit from combinations of discrete and continuous model components. End-to-end learnable discrete-continuous models are compositional, tend to generalize better, and are more…
In this paper, we introduce the persistence transformation, a novel methodology in Topological Data Analysis (TDA) for applications in time series data which can be obtained in various areas such as science, politics, economy, healthcare,…
Discrete Morse theory emerged as an essential tool for computational geometry and topology. Its core structures are discrete gradient fields, defined as acyclic matchings on a complex $C$, from which topological and geometrical informations…
0-dimensional persistent homology is known, from a computational point of view, as the easy case. Indeed, given a list of $n$ edges in non-decreasing order of filtration value, one only needs a union-find data structure to keep track of the…
This paper presents a practical approach for the optimization of topological simplification, a central pre-processing step for the analysis and visualization of scalar data. Given an input scalar field f and a set of "signal" persistence…
The Discrete Morse Theory of Forman appeared to be useful for providing filtration-preserving reductions of complexes in the study of persistent homology. So far, the algorithms computing discrete Morse matchings have only been used for…
We describe a method for approximating a single-variable function $f$ using persistence diagrams of sublevel sets of $f$ from height functions in different directions. We provide algorithms for the piecewise linear case and for the smooth…
In this paper we consider Sparse Fourier Transform (SFT) algorithms for approximately computing the best $s$-term approximation of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) $\mathbf{\hat{f}} \in \mathbb{C}^N$ of any given input vector…
Counting the number of perfect matchings in bipartite graphs, or equivalently computing the permanent of 0-1 matrices, is an important combinatorial problem that has been extensively studied by theoreticians and practitioners alike. The…
Despite the recent visually-pleasing results achieved, the massive computational cost has been a long-standing flaw for diffusion probabilistic models (DPMs), which, in turn, greatly limits their applications on resource-limited platforms.…
In the segmentation of fine-scale structures from natural and biomedical images, per-pixel accuracy is not the only metric of concern. Topological correctness, such as vessel connectivity and membrane closure, is crucial for downstream…
This paper presents a computational framework for the concise encoding of an ensemble of persistence diagrams, in the form of weighted Wasserstein barycenters [100], [102] of a dictionary of atom diagrams. We introduce a multi-scale…
Topological data analysis can reveal higher-order structure beyond pairwise connections between vertices in complex networks. We present a new method based on discrete Morse theory to study topological properties of unweighted and…
