Media Exposition
Greedy Permutations and Finite Voronoi Diagrams (Media Exposition)

Authors: Oliver A. Chubet, Paul Macnichol, Parth Parikh, Donald R. Sheehy, and Siddharth S. Sheth

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


Abstract
We illustrate the computation of a greedy permutation using finite Voronoi diagrams. We describe the neighbor graph, which is a sparse graph data structure that facilitates efficient point location to insert a new Voronoi cell. This data structure is not dependent on a Euclidean metric space. The greedy permutation is computed in O(nlog Δ) time for low-dimensional data using this method [Sariel Har-Peled and Manor Mendel, 2006; Donald R. Sheehy, 2020].

Nearly-Doubling Spaces of Persistence Diagrams

Authors: Donald R. Sheehy and Siddharth S. Sheth

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


Abstract
The space of persistence diagrams under bottleneck distance is known to have infinite doubling dimension. Because many metric search algorithms and data structures have bounds that depend on the dimension of the search space, the high-dimensionality makes it difficult to analyze and compare asymptotic running times of metric search algorithms on this space. We introduce the notion of nearly-doubling metrics, those that are Gromov-Hausdorff close to metric spaces of bounded doubling dimension and prove that bounded k-point persistence diagrams are nearly-doubling. This allows us to prove that in some ways, persistence diagrams can be expected to behave like a doubling metric space. We prove our results in great generality, studying a large class of quotient metrics (of which the persistence plane is just one example). We also prove bounds on the dimension of the k-point bottleneck space over such metrics. The notion of being nearly-doubling in this Gromov-Hausdorff sense is likely of more general interest. Some algorithms that have a dependence on the dimension can be analyzed in terms of the dimension of the nearby metric rather than that of the metric itself. We give a specific example of this phenomenon by analyzing an algorithm to compute metric nets, a useful operation on persistence diagrams.

Sketching Persistence Diagrams

Authors: Donald R. Sheehy and Siddharth Sheth

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 189, 37th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2021)


Abstract
Given a persistence diagram with n points, we give an algorithm that produces a sequence of n persistence diagrams converging in bottleneck distance to the input diagram, the ith of which has i distinct (weighted) points and is a 2-approximation to the closest persistence diagram with that many distinct points. For each approximation, we precompute the optimal matching between the ith and the (i+1)st. Perhaps surprisingly, the entire sequence of diagrams as well as the sequence of matchings can be represented in O(n) space. The main approach is to use a variation of the greedy permutation of the persistence diagram to give good Hausdorff approximations and assign weights to these subsets. We give a new algorithm to efficiently compute this permutation, despite the high implicit dimension of points in a persistence diagram due to the effect of the diagonal. The sketches are also structured to permit fast (linear time) approximations to the Hausdorff distance between diagrams - a lower bound on the bottleneck distance. For approximating the bottleneck distance, sketches can also be used to compute a linear-size neighborhood graph directly, obviating the need for geometric data structures used in state-of-the-art methods for bottleneck computation.

A Sparse Delaunay Filtration

Authors: Donald R. Sheehy

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 189, 37th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2021)


Abstract
We show how a filtration of Delaunay complexes can be used to approximate the persistence diagram of the distance to a point set in ℝ^d. Whereas the full Delaunay complex can be used to compute this persistence diagram exactly, it may have size O(n^⌈d/2⌉). In contrast, our construction uses only O(n) simplices. The central idea is to connect Delaunay complexes on progressively denser subsamples by considering the flips in an incremental construction as simplices in d+1 dimensions. This approach leads to a very simple and straightforward proof of correctness in geometric terms, because the final filtration is dual to a (d+1)-dimensional Voronoi construction similar to the standard Delaunay filtration. We also, show how this complex can be efficiently constructed.

Visualizing Sparse Filtrations

Authors: Nicholas J. Cavanna, Mahmoodreza Jahanseir, and Donald R. Sheehy

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


Abstract
Over the last few years, there have been several approaches to building sparser complexes that still give good approximations to the persistent homology. In this video, we have illustrated a geometric perspective on sparse filtrations that leads to simpler proofs, more general theorems, and a more visual explanation. We hope that as these techniques become easier to understand, they will also become easier to use.
