Researchers have developed a new metric called the Sierpiński-Knopp (SK) Wasserstein distance for comparing persistence diagrams. This distance metric maps diagram points to a unit interval using a space-filling curve, enabling efficient one-dimensional matching. The SK-Wasserstein distance is shown to control the classical 2-Wasserstein distance, can be embedded into a Hilbert space, and generates a Gaussian kernel compatible with learning methods. Experiments demonstrate significant speedups over existing methods, with SK-Wasserstein distance-based clustering achieving competitive results. AI
