S Topology studies shapes without using distances!
S Topology is based on some special “functions” for classifying or acting over topological spaces
S We will use HOMOLOGY for classifying objects!
Are they equivalent?
They are TOPOLOGICALLY equivalent
Because you can define a continuous transformation without drilling, cutting or twisting the objects
Benefits
S Topology natural provides clustering
S Topology acts well both on small and big dataset
S Topology is robust to noise: the holes will survive
Topological Data Analysis
S Biology–Immune System dynamics
S Medicine – Cancer detection from medical images
S Optimization– Sensor network
Point Cloud Data – Timed Point Cloud Data – Networks
DETAILS TIME
S Simplicial Complex: is a collection of simplices – higher dimensional triangle
S Simplical complex lets you to do a finite coverage of a geometrical object
How to build a topological space
How to build a Simplicial Complex
S From Point Cloud Data – points in Rd d-dimensions: Vietoris-Rips, Cech or with Witness complexes
S From Undirected Weighted Networks: clique-complexes
S From Directed Weighted Networks: neighborhood-complexes
Vietoris-Rips Complexes
Clique-Complex
Neighborhood-Complex
How to characterize a simplicial complex
S Using HOMOLOGY. It counts the number of n-dimensional holes. Betti Number is the output of Homology and can be used for deriving equivalence classes: “clustering”
Persistent Homology
S It is the implementation of homology by using an incremental filtered algorithm
Graphical representations of Betti Numbers
S persistent-barcode or persistent-diagram
jHoles: java tool for computing PHOM (persistent homology)
