Topological Data Analysis and Applications (Dagstuhl Seminar 23192)

Authors: Ulrich Bauer, Vijay Natarajan, and Bei Wang

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 13, Issue 5 (2023)


Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 23192 "Topological Data Analysis and Applications". The seminar brought together researchers with backgrounds in mathematics, computer science, and different application domains with the aim of identifying and exploring emerging directions within computational topology for data analysis. This seminar was designed to be a followup event to two successful Dagstuhl Seminars (17292, July 2017; 19212, May 2019). The list of topics and participants were updated to reflect recent developments and to engage wider participation. Close interaction between the participants during the seminar accelerated the convergence between mathematical and computational thinking in the development of theories and scalable algorithms for data analysis, and the identification of different applications of topological analysis.

Efficient Computation of Image Persistence

Authors: Ulrich Bauer and Maximilian Schmahl

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 258, 39th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2023)


Abstract
We present an algorithm for computing the barcode of the image of a morphism in persistent homology induced by an inclusion of filtered finite-dimensional chain complexes. The algorithm makes use of the clearing optimization and can be applied to inclusion-induced maps in persistent absolute homology and persistent relative cohomology for filtrations of pairs of simplicial complexes. The clearing optimization works particularly well in the context of relative cohomology, and using previous duality results we can translate the barcodes of images in relative cohomology to those in absolute homology. This forms the basis for an implementation of image persistence computations for inclusions of filtrations of Vietoris-Rips complexes in the framework of the software Ripser.

Efficient Two-Parameter Persistence Computation via Cohomology

Authors: Ulrich Bauer, Fabian Lenzen, and Michael Lesnick

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 258, 39th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2023)


Abstract
Clearing is a simple but effective optimization for the standard algorithm of persistent homology (ph), which dramatically improves the speed and scalability of ph computations for Vietoris-Rips filtrations. Due to the quick growth of the boundary matrices of a Vietoris-Rips filtration with increasing dimension, clearing is only effective when used in conjunction with a dual (cohomological) variant of the standard algorithm. This approach has not previously been applied successfully to the computation of two-parameter ph. We introduce a cohomological algorithm for computing minimal free resolutions of two-parameter ph that allows for clearing. To derive our algorithm, we extend the duality principles which underlie the one-parameter approach to the two-parameter setting. We provide an implementation and report experimental run times for function-Rips filtrations. Our method is faster than the current state-of-the-art by a factor of up to 20.

On Computing Homological Hitting Sets

Authors: Ulrich Bauer, Abhishek Rathod, and Meirav Zehavi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 251, 14th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2023)


Abstract
Cut problems form one of the most fundamental classes of problems in algorithmic graph theory. In this paper, we initiate the algorithmic study of a high-dimensional cut problem. The problem we study, namely, Homological Hitting Set (HHS), is defined as follows: Given a nontrivial r-cycle z in a simplicial complex, find a set 𝒮 of r-dimensional simplices of minimum cardinality so that 𝒮 meets every cycle homologous to z. Our first result is that HHS admits a polynomial-time solution on triangulations of closed surfaces. Interestingly, the minimal solution is given in terms of the cocycles of the surface. Next, we provide an example of a 2-complex for which the (unique) minimal hitting set is not a cocycle. Furthermore, for general complexes, we show that HHS is W[1]-hard with respect to the solution size p. In contrast, on the positive side, we show that HHS admits an FPT algorithm with respect to p+Δ, where Δ is the maximum degree of the Hasse graph of the complex 𝖪.

Quasi-Universality of Reeb Graph Distances

Authors: Ulrich Bauer, Håvard Bakke Bjerkevik, and Benedikt Fluhr

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 224, 38th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2022)


Abstract
We establish bi-Lipschitz bounds certifying quasi-universality (universality up to a constant factor) for various distances between Reeb graphs: the interleaving distance, the functional distortion distance, and the functional contortion distance. The definition of the latter distance is a novel contribution, and for the special case of contour trees we also prove strict universality of this distance. Furthermore, we prove that for the special case of merge trees the functional contortion distance coincides with the interleaving distance, yielding universality of all four distances in this case.

Gromov Hyperbolicity, Geodesic Defect, and Apparent Pairs in Vietoris-Rips Filtrations

Authors: Ulrich Bauer and Fabian Roll

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 224, 38th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2022)


Abstract
Motivated by computational aspects of persistent homology for Vietoris–Rips filtrations, we generalize a result of Eliyahu Rips on the contractibility of Vietoris–Rips complexes of geodesic spaces for a suitable parameter depending on the hyperbolicity of the space. We consider the notion of geodesic defect to extend this result to general metric spaces in a way that is also compatible with the filtration. We further show that for finite tree metrics the Vietoris–Rips complexes collapse to their corresponding subforests. We relate our result to modern computational methods by showing that these collapses are induced by the apparent pairs gradient, which is used as an algorithmic optimization in Ripser, explaining its particularly strong performance on tree-like metric data.

The Reeb Graph Edit Distance Is Universal

Authors: Ulrich Bauer, Claudia Landi, and Facundo Mémoli

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 164, 36th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2020)


Abstract
We consider the setting of Reeb graphs of piecewise linear functions and study distances between them that are stable, meaning that functions which are similar in the supremum norm ought to have similar Reeb graphs. We define an edit distance for Reeb graphs and prove that it is stable and universal, meaning that it provides an upper bound to any other stable distance. In contrast, via a specific construction, we show that the interleaving distance and the functional distortion distance on Reeb graphs are not universal.

Fast Algorithms for Minimum Cycle Basis and Minimum Homology Basis

Authors: Abhishek Rathod

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 164, 36th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2020)


Abstract
We study the problem of finding a minimum homology basis, that is, a shortest set of cycles that generates the 1-dimensional homology classes with ℤ₂ coefficients in a given simplicial complex K. This problem has been extensively studied in the last few years. For general complexes, the current best deterministic algorithm, by Dey et al. [Dey et al., 2018], runs in O(N^ω + N² g) time, where N denotes the number of simplices in K, g denotes the rank of the 1-homology group of K, and ω denotes the exponent of matrix multiplication. In this paper, we present two conceptually simple randomized algorithms that compute a minimum homology basis of a general simplicial complex K. The first algorithm runs in Õ(m^ω) time, where m denotes the number of edges in K, whereas the second algorithm runs in O(m^ω + N m^{ω-1}) time. We also study the problem of finding a minimum cycle basis in an undirected graph G with n vertices and m edges. The best known algorithm for this problem runs in O(m^ω) time. Our algorithm, which has a simpler high-level description, but is slightly more expensive, runs in Õ(m^ω) time.

GPU-Accelerated Computation of Vietoris-Rips Persistence Barcodes

Authors: Simon Zhang, Mengbai Xiao, and Hao Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 164, 36th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2020)


Abstract
The computation of Vietoris-Rips persistence barcodes is both execution-intensive and memory-intensive. In this paper, we study the computational structure of Vietoris-Rips persistence barcodes, and identify several unique mathematical properties and algorithmic opportunities with connections to the GPU. Mathematically and empirically, we look into the properties of apparent pairs, which are independently identifiable persistence pairs comprising up to 99% of persistence pairs. We give theoretical upper and lower bounds of the apparent pair rate and model the average case. We also design massively parallel algorithms to take advantage of the very large number of simplices that can be processed independently of each other. Having identified these opportunities, we develop a GPU-accelerated software for computing Vietoris-Rips persistence barcodes, called Ripser++. The software achieves up to 30x speedup over the total execution time of the original Ripser and also reduces CPU-memory usage by up to 2.0x. We believe our GPU-acceleration based efforts open a new chapter for the advancement of topological data analysis in the post-Moore’s Law era.

Parametrized Complexity of Expansion Height

Authors: Ulrich Bauer, Abhishek Rathod, and Jonathan Spreer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 144, 27th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2019)


Abstract
Deciding whether two simplicial complexes are homotopy equivalent is a fundamental problem in topology, which is famously undecidable. There exists a combinatorial refinement of this concept, called simple-homotopy equivalence: two simplicial complexes are of the same simple-homotopy type if they can be transformed into each other by a sequence of two basic homotopy equivalences, an elementary collapse and its inverse, an elementary expansion. In this article we consider the following related problem: given a 2-dimensional simplicial complex, is there a simple-homotopy equivalence to a 1-dimensional simplicial complex using at most p expansions? We show that the problem, which we call the erasability expansion height, is W[P]-complete in the natural parameter p.

On the Metric Distortion of Embedding Persistence Diagrams into Separable Hilbert Spaces

Authors: Mathieu Carrière and Ulrich Bauer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 129, 35th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2019)


Abstract
Persistence diagrams are important descriptors in Topological Data Analysis. Due to the nonlinearity of the space of persistence diagrams equipped with their diagram distances, most of the recent attempts at using persistence diagrams in machine learning have been done through kernel methods, i.e., embeddings of persistence diagrams into Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces, in which all computations can be performed easily. Since persistence diagrams enjoy theoretical stability guarantees for the diagram distances, the metric properties of the feature map, i.e., the relationship between the Hilbert distance and the diagram distances, are of central interest for understanding if the persistence diagram guarantees carry over to the embedding. In this article, we study the possibility of embedding persistence diagrams into separable Hilbert spaces with bi-Lipschitz maps. In particular, we show that for several stable embeddings into infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces defined in the literature, any lower bound must depend on the cardinalities of the persistence diagrams, and that when the Hilbert space is finite dimensional, finding a bi-Lipschitz embedding is impossible, even when restricting the persistence diagrams to have bounded cardinalities.

Strong Equivalence of the Interleaving and Functional Distortion Metrics for Reeb Graphs

Authors: Ulrich Bauer, Elizabeth Munch, and Yusu Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 34, 31st International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2015)


Abstract
The Reeb graph is a construction that studies a topological space through the lens of a real valued function. It has been commonly used in applications, however its use on real data means that it is desirable and increasingly necessary to have methods for comparison of Reeb graphs. Recently, several metrics on the set of Reeb graphs have been proposed. In this paper, we focus on two: the functional distortion distance and the interleaving distance. The former is based on the Gromov-Hausdorff distance, while the latter utilizes the equivalence between Reeb graphs and a particular class of cosheaves. However, both are defined by constructing a near-isomorphism between the two graphs of study. In this paper, we show that the two metrics are strongly equivalent on the space of Reeb graphs. Our result also implies the bottleneck stability for persistence diagrams in terms of the Reeb graph interleaving distance.

Tutorial
Theory and Practice of Higher-type Computation (Tutorial)

Authors: Martin Escardó

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 11, 6th International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA'09) (2009)


Abstract
In higher-type computation, established by Kleene and Kreisel in the late 1950's (independently), one works with the data types obtained from the discrete natural numbers by closing under finite products and function spaces. For the theory of higher-type programming languages, it is natural to work with a corresponding hierarchy, or type structure, of domains, identified by Ershov and Scott in the late 1960's (again independently). The Kleene-Kreisel and Ershov-Scott hierarchies account for total and partial computation respectively. In this tutorial I'll explain the theory and practice of higher-type computation and programming languages, and develop old and new applications. From a theoretical point of view, I'll present Kleene-Kreisel spaces and Ershov-Scott domains, and relate the two. Moreover, I'll discuss common generalizations, chiefly QCB spaces and equilogical spaces, which admit further useful closure properties, and their relationship to TTE (Schroeder, Simpson. Scott, Bauer, Weihrauch and many others). I'll also present a natural higher-type model of computation/programming language, namely PCF (Platek, Scott, Plotkin). From a practical point of view, I'll introduce a fragment of the language Haskell as a faithful implementation of PCF. Moreover, I'll develop and run several examples (and prove theorems about them), pertaining to (i) exhaustive search of infinite sets in finite time in particular Ulrich Berger's algorithm and generalizations), and (ii) computation with real numbers (in particular Alex Simpson's integration algorithm and generalizations).

Realisability and Adequacy for (Co)induction

Authors: Ulrich Berger

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 11, 6th International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA'09) (2009)


Abstract
We prove the correctness of a formalised realisability interpretation of extensions of first-order theories by inductive and coinductive definitions in an untyped $\lambda$-calculus with fixed-points. We illustrate the use of this interpretation for program extraction by some simple examples in the area of exact real number computation and hint at further non-trivial applications in computable analysis.
