Auto-TLDR; Topological Data Analysis with Persistence Curves

Poster Similar

Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a rising field in machine learning. TDA considers the shape of data set. Persistence diagrams, one of main tools in TDA, store topological information about the data. Persistence curves, a recently developed framework, provides a canonical and flexible way to encode the information presented in persistence diagrams into vectors. Based on persistence curves, we (1) provide new sets of features for time series, (2) prove that these features are robust to noise, (3) propose a hybrid metric that takes both geometric and topological information of the time series into account. Finally, we apply these metrics to the UCR Time Series Classification Archive. These empirical results show that our metrics perform better than the relevant benchmark in most cases.
