Researchers have developed a new framework called TI$^2$PS that integrates topological data analysis with inverse surrogate modeling to estimate parameters for agent-based models (ABMs) of multicellular pattern formation. This method uses Betti vectors to represent spatial configurations and enables direct inference of ABM parameters from target patterns. In a validation study using zebrafish pigment pattern formation, TI$^2$PS successfully estimated parameters and outperformed the conventional PointNet++ method, achieving better results with only 10% of the training data.
