Persistence B-Spline Grids: Stable Vector Representation of Persistence Diagrams Based on Data Fitting
Many attempts have been made in recent decades to integrate machine learning (ML) and topological data analysis. A prominent problem in applying persistent homology to ML tasks is finding a vector representation of a persistence diagram (PD), which is a summary diagram for representing topological features. From the perspective of data fitting, a stable vector representation, namely, persistence B-spline grid (PBSG), is proposed based on the efficient technique of progressive-iterative approximation for least-squares B-spline function fitting. We theoretically prove that the PBSG method is stable with respect to the metric of 1-Wasserstein distance defined on the PD space. The proposed method was tested on a synthetic data set, data sets of randomly generated PDs, data of a dynamical system, and 3D CAD models, showing its effectiveness and efficiency

Persistence Spheres: a Bi-continuous Linear Representation of Measures for Partial Optimal Transport
We improve and extend persistence spheres, introduced in~\cite{pegoraro2025persistence}. Persistence spheres map an integrable measure $μ$ on the upper half-plane, including persistence diagrams (PDs) as counting measure…
Point CloudsFrom Persistence to Survival: Hypothesis Testing, Effect Sizes and Vectorisation for Topological Features
Persistence diagrams are common representations in topological data analysis, but they do not naturally live in a vector space, and the statistical tools developed for comparing them have largely evolved separately from …
