Stochastic Dynamics on Persistence Diagram Space via Reinforcement Learning

2026-08-06 · Farzana Nasrin arxiv

Persistence diagrams (PDs) provide stable and interpretable summaries of multiscale topological structure. While substantial progress has been made in the statistical analysis of PDs, existing literature often treats diagrams as static objects and provide limited frameworks for probabilistic modeling and stochastic evolution on PD space. We introduce a reinforcement learning framework for stochastic dynamics on PD space, where diagrams evolve through topology aware local edit operations. The dynamics define controlled Markov processes on spaces of finite PDs with variable cardinality. We establish conditions under which the induced Markov chains are irreducible, aperiodic, and geometrically ergodic, implying the existence of unique stationary probability laws on PD space. To guide the dynamics toward scientifically relevant topological targets, we formulate objectives that encompass distribution matching, task specific topological statistics, and structure-preserving compression. The resulting rewards balance task specific distributional targets, diagram fidelity, and complexity reduction, and yield a framework for adaptive topological simplification and probabilistic modeling. Experiments on synthetic and neuroimaging PDs demonstrate that the proposed framework can preserve dominant topological structure while reducing diagram complexity.

Embeddings of Persistence Diagrams into Hilbert Spaces

2019-05-11 · Peter Bubenik, Alexander Wagner

Since persistence diagrams do not admit an inner product structure, a map into a Hilbert space is needed in order to use kernel methods. It is natural to ask if such maps necessarily distort the metric on persistence dia…

Revisiting the Sliced Wasserstein Kernel for persistence diagrams: a Figalli-Gigli approach

2026-02-06 · Marc Janthial, Théo Lacombe arxiv

The Sliced Wasserstein Kernel (SWK) for persistence diagrams was introduced in (Carri{è}re et al. 2017) as a powerful tool to implicitly embed persistence diagrams in a Hilbert space with reasonable distortion. This kern…
