TopoFisher learns topological summaries by maximizing Fisher information

Researchers have developed TopoFisher, a novel differentiable pipeline that learns topological summaries by maximizing Fisher information. This method optimizes trainable filtrations, vectorizations, and compressors without requiring posterior samples or supervised targets, while maintaining topological inductive bias. Experiments show TopoFisher outperforms fixed topological vectorizations and achieves higher Fisher information than state-of-the-art cosmological summaries in complex inference problems like weak gravitational lensing, using significantly fewer parameters.
