A prominent problem in applying persistent homology to ML tasks is finding a vector representation of a persistence diagram (PD), which is a summary diagram for representing topological features. From the perspective of data fitting, a stable vector representation, namely, persistence B-spline grid (PBSG), is proposed based on the efficient technique of progressive-iterative approximation for least-squares B-spline function fitting. We theoretically prove that the PBSG method is stable with respect to the metric of 1-Wasserstein distance defined on the PD space. The proposed method was tested on a synthetic data set, data sets of randomly generated PDs, data of a dynamical system, and 3D CAD models, showing its effectiveness and efficiency","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.08417v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.08417v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"persistence-b-spline-grids-stable-vector","repo_url":"https://github.com/ZC119/PB","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"topological-data-analysis","task_name":"Topological Data Analysis"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
