New Sierpiński-Knopp Wasserstein distance speeds up persistence diagram analysis

Researchers have introduced a new metric called the Sierpiński-Knopp (SK) Wasserstein distance, designed for efficiently comparing persistence diagrams. This metric maps diagram points to a unit interval, enabling faster one-dimensional optimal assignment. The SK-Wasserstein distance is shown to control the classical 2-Wasserstein distance and can be embedded into a Hilbert space, making it compatible with various machine learning methods. Experiments demonstrate significant speedups over existing approximations, with SK-Wasserstein distance-based clustering achieving competitive results. AI
