Discrete transforms of quantized persistence diagrams

Topological data analysis leverages topological features to analyze datasets, with applications in diverse fields like medical sciences and biology. A key tool of this theory is the persistence diagram, which encodes topological information but poses challenges for integration into standard machine learning pipelines. We introduce Qupid (QUantized Persistence and Integral transforms of Diagrams), a novel and simple method for vectorizing persistence diagrams. First, Qupid uses a binning procedure to turn persistence diagrams into finite measures on a grid and then applies discrete transforms to these measures. Key features are the choice of log-scaled grids that emphasize information contained near the diagonal in persistence diagrams, combined with the use of discrete transforms to enhance and efficiently encode the obtained topological information. We conduct an in-depth experimental analysis of Qupid, showing that the simplicity of our method results in very low computational costs while preserving highly competitive performances compared to state-of-the-art methods across numerous classification tasks on both synthetic and real-world datasets. Finally, we provide experimental evidence that our method is robust to a decrease in the grid resolution used.
