Visualization tools

Persistent Homology Explorer

This is a tool for understanding Vietoris-Rips and Cech persistent homology. Change the dataset, number of points, and the radius while watching everything update live.

Torus walk slider

A plotly visualization for understanding higher dimensional random walks on CW complexes. This particular example shows a one-dimensional walk on a CW decomposition of a torus.

Open source code

I am a maintainer of several libraries in the scikit-tda ecosystem, a collection of TDA tools designed to work within scikit-learn pipelines.

  • persim – distances and vectorizations for persistence diagrams, including persistence images and bottleneck/Wasserstein distances
  • ripser – fast Vietoris-Rips persistent homology for point cloud data, wrapping the optimized C++ ripser library
  • kepler-mapper – implementation of the Mapper algorithm for topological data visualization
  • tadasets – synthetic datasets and point clouds for benchmarking and testing TDA methods

I also contributed to two open source libraries developed at Geometric Data Analytics:

  • topological-parallax – computes the topological mismatch between a pre-trained model and a dataset, providing a geometric measure of model-data alignment
  • dispers – a Python interface for distributed persistence, enabling scalable TDA computations across large datasets

Research code

  • PL_fMRI – persistence landscape analysis of fMRI data; code accompanying the work on topological features of ACC activation
  • MPFigs – Plotly code for building figures useful to understand multiparameter persistent homology
  • MBDS21_TDA – tutorial notebooks introducing TDA methods, developed for the 2021 Midwest Big Data Summer School
  • MBDS19_TDA – similar to the above
