• Authors: Yueqi Cao, Anthea Monod
• Abstract summary: Persistent homology produces a statistical summary in the form of a persistence diagram. Despite its widespread use, persistent homology is simply impossible to implement when a dataset is very large. We show that the mean of the persistence diagrams of subsamples is a valid approximation of the true persistent homology of the larger dataset.

• Abstract: Persistent homology is an important methodology from topological data analysis which adapts theory from algebraic topology to data settings and has been successfully implemented in many applications. It produces a statistical summary in the form of a persistence diagram, which captures the shape and size of the data. Despite its widespread use, persistent homology is simply impossible to implement when a dataset is very large. In this paper we address the problem of finding a representative persistence diagram for prohibitively large datasets. We adapt the classical statistical method of bootstrapping, namely, drawing and studying smaller multiple subsamples from the large dataset. We show that the mean of the persistence diagrams of subsamples -- taken as a mean persistence measure computed from the subsamples -- is a valid approximation of the true persistent homology of the larger dataset. We give the rate of convergence of the mean persistence diagram to the true persistence diagram in terms of the number of subsamples and size of each subsample. Given the complex algebraic and geometric nature of persistent homology, we adapt the convexity and stability properties in the space of persistence diagrams together with random set theory to achieve our theoretical results for the general setting of point cloud data. We demonstrate our approach on simulated and real data, including an application of shape clustering on complex large-scale point cloud data.

  Symbolic regression plays a crucial role in scientific research thanks to its capability of discovering concise and interpretable mathematical expressions from data.

We compare our method to recently proposed competing approaches on various numerical experiments and demonstrate its superiority in terms of numerical stability and computational cost.

  The reliability of graph embeddings depends on how much the geometry of the continuous space matches the graph structure. We introduce a new class of manifold, named soft manifold, that can solve this situation. Using soft manifold for graph embedding, we can provide continuous spaces to pursue any task in data analysis over complex datasets.

  Real-world datasets are subject to noisy observations and sampling, so that distilling information about the underlying manifold is a major challenge. We propose a method for manifold learning that utilises a symmetric version of optimal transport with a quadratic regularisation. We prove that the resulting kernel is consistent with a Laplace-type operator in the continuous limit, establish robustness to heteroskedastic noise and exhibit these results in simulations.
