Metrics for Learning in Topological Persistence
Persistent homology analysis provides means to capture the connectivity structure of data sets in various dimensions. On the mathematical level, by defining a metric between the objects that persistence attaches to data sets, we can stabilize invariants characterizing these objects. We outline how so called contour functions induce relevant metrics for stabilizing the rank invariant. On the practical level, the stable ranks are used as fingerprints for data. Different choices of contour lead to different stable ranks and the topological learning is then the question of finding the optimal contour. We outline our analysis pipeline and show how it can enhance classification of physical activities data. As our main application we study how stable ranks and contours provide robust descriptors of spatial patterns of atmospheric cloud fields.
