Application driven Topological Data Analysis

Lead Research Organisation: University of Oxford
Department Name: Mathematical Institute

Abstract

Modern science and technology generates data at an unprecedented rate. A major challenge is that this data is often complex, high dimensional, may include temporal and/or spatial information. The "shape" of the data can be important but it is difficult to extract and quantify it using standard machine learning or statistical techniques. For example, an image of blood vessels near a tumor looks very different than an image of healthy blood
vessels; statistics alone cannot quantify this shape because it is the shape that matters. The focus of this proposal is to study the shape of data, through the development of new mathematics and algorithms, and build on existing data science techniques in order to obtain and interpret the shape of data. A theoretical field of mathematics that enables the study of shapes is topology. The ability to compute the shape (its topology) of complicated shapes is only possible with advanced mathematics and algorithms. The field known as topological data analysis (TDA), enables one to use topology to study the shape of data, such as loops in a blood vessel network. In particular, an algorithm within TDA known as persistent homology, provides a topological summary of the shape of the data (e.g., features such as holes) at multiple scales. A key success of persistent homology is the ability to provide robust results, even if the data are noisy. There are theoretical and computational challenges in the application of these algorithms to large scale, real-world data.

The aim of this project is to build on current persistent homology tools, extending it theoretically, computationally, and adapting it for practical applications. Our core team is composed of experts in pure and applied mathematicians, computer scientists, and statisticians whose combined expertise covers cutting edge pure mathematics, mathematical modeling, algorithm design and data analysis. This core team will work closely with our collaborators in a range of scientific and industrial domains. Some of the application challenges we have set out include:

Can we detect a tumor by looking at the shape of images of blood vessels? Can we design new materials by looking at the shape of molecules using topology? How can we design such molecules? Can we detect anomalies in security data? And importantly, how can we accelerate algorithms to obtain topological characteristics of data in real time?

Planned Impact

IMPACT

The proposed centre involves a number of collaborators, providing some immediate pathways to impact. Each will provide access to appropriate data and will evaluate research and outcomes from the viewpoint of potential exploiters (potential users and investors) rather than only from mathematical and computing perspectives.

(1) GCHQ has pointed us towards relevant data sets within the public domain for security-research.

(2) BSMbench have supplied data sets appropriate to PH, from their own sector, including data previously used to benchmark other analytics methods.

(3) We have access to time series data sets; and are discussing interest in TDA with IFPEN.

We will arrange meetings with commercial data-analytics experts from a variety of commercial companies that have already expressed their need to understand the possibilities that TDA may hold. These include Tesco/Dunnhumby, Lloyds Bank, Morgan Stanley, GSK, HSBC, iProspect, Unilever, BT, and others.

We will work with one SME initially, delivering B2B services, while aiming to grow this further: Kognitio is a specialist in parallel processing.

To build upon the state-of-the-art in domain-specific data analysis techniques, we will also closely collaboration with the following academic end-users to maximise impact and translation of our research framework:

(4) High-resolution, spatio-temporal vascular image data, Dept of Oncology (Oxford)

(5) Databases of hypothetical nano-crystal structures from Materials Innovation Factory (Liverpool) and Laboratory of Molecular Simulations (EPFL)

(6) Data from Monte Carlo simulations of phases of matter, Dept of Physics (Swansea)

Through the co-creation of new theory that is implemented to provide scientific breakthroughs, such advances will impact the mathematical, computational, scientific, and corporate sectors.

The centre will host two large conferences for researchers and an international conference to propagate PH methods across UK HEIs. We will disseminate our research both in generalist journals as well as specialised journals so that the developed framework is widely disseminated. Our goal is to catalyse an active application-driven TDA community within the UK through annual meetings with presentation of progress and papers. We aim to build a strong UK community focussed on research and translation of next generation TDA concepts and technologies.

Description Persistent homology is a popular tool in topological data analysis (TDA) that allows one to identify and quantify geometrical features in (high dimensional) data. These features are related to connected components, holes and cavities. We extend the theoretical aspects of TDA and build new algorithms beyond the standard persistent homology (PH) to tackle concrete data science questions arising from applications. Thus far, there are nearly 300 research manuscripts.

1. Theoretical advances
- mathematical theorems for data on manifolds/non-manifolds,
- development of three new invariants for multi-parameter persistent homology
- random topology of manifolds in presence of boundary
- asymptotic bounds for the vanishing and non-vanishing regions of the first Betti number of the path homology of random directed graphs
- development of a new stable invariant from path homology for graphs
- smoothness and persistence map for application in machine learning. Specifically, proved that persistent homology has a derivative almost everywhere,
- proposed a new isometry invariant that is faithful (almost always) and stable, refining persistent homology
- analysed information loss for persistent homology
- considered the space of barcodes and found 'matching' for maps between barcodes that are not nested

2. Algorithms and software
- compute barcode bases of persistence modules,
- bridge between TDA and other techniques in algebraic topology (sparse oracle linear algebra in rust (SOLAR) and exhact homological algebra for computational topology (exhact)
- topological approach to distinguish and compare posterior distributions,
- topological methods to study knots and open knots,
- algorithmic reconstruction of the fiber of persistent homology on cell complexes
- software for multi-parameter persistence landscapes
- software to compute HN-filtration invariants for multi parameter persistent homology

3. Applications and comparing datasets
- protein-protein interactions,
- commercial data,
- biological spatial networks (vascular),
- multi-cellular organisation (eg different immune cell patterns)
- folding and structure of knotted proteins
- topological phase transitions in statistical physics at different parameter values (eg critical temperature and exponents),
- neurons by studying topology of the dynamics of Grid cells,
- neurons by studying the 3D tree structure,
- modelling proteins and periodic structures of solid crystalline materials using geometric data science (complete and continuous classifications up to isometry and other geometric similarities for any finite sets).
Exploitation Route Other mathematicians may use the connections we've made between topological data analysis and other areas of mathematics ranging from mathematical models, dynamical systems, machine learning, differential geometry, Morse theory, sheaf theory and homotopy theory.

We demonstrate that computations are possible for larger and more complicated data. These outcomes have opened the possibilities to other application areas (eg tumour vasculature, urban social structures, biological (proteome) network structures, statistical physics and chemical/material structures). The release of well documented code in openly available repositories has led to researchers outside the Centre for TDA to their use for protein structure analysis, vascular network quantification, and tumour/immune heterogeneity. Other potential areas include neuroscience, crystal structure prediction, protein structure prediction, spatio-temporal parameter inference, directed graph hypothesis testing, and superconducting materials. Researchers in industry and academia that are generating high-throughput spatial, temporal and genomic data are interested in TDA, which has a broad range of applications, including cancer research, immunology and developmental biology.

We have released material to increase the accessibility of TDA:
- TDA minicourse for non-mathematicians: https://youtu.be/QCyhs9aX-PQ
- Review what are higher order networks? https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.11329
- Lecture notes of Computational Algebraic Topology: https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/nanda/cat/TDANotes.pdf
- Discrete Morse theory 2.0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ2FIyg7NJ4

Description The non-academic impacts are wide ranging from theoretical foundations of the methodology and algorithms to applications in other sectors. The tutorials, TDA mini-course for industry and non-mathematicians, and lectures to companies' research groups has resulted in interest from clinical, pharmaceutical, and the wider B2C sector. There are concrete applications to the world's largest crystal structural database, where the geometric data analysis methods have detected five pairs of suspicious entries and now under investigation. Topological data analysis was one of the data integration methods used in the analysis of a COVID-19 patient dataset to predict disease severity. TDA has also been investigated improve clinical detection and prognosis in cancer and neuroscience. We have received follow-on grants from technology companies and pharmaceuticals, both interested in applications of TDA to biomedical problems.

Title Probing center vortices and deconfinement in SU(2) lattice gauge theory with persistent homology - analysis workflow 
Description This repository contains the analysis code used to prepare the plots and results included in Probing center vortices and deconfinement in SU(2) lattice gauge theory with persistent homology. The analysis code is split into two Jupyter notebooks: 'twist_analysis.ipynb' and 'knn_analysis.ipynb', covering the Sections IV.A and IV.B of the paper respectively. Additionally, the repository contains some saved calculations in 'intermediate_data.zip' that greatly speed up the computations if the original seeds are used. Running all the code with this intermediate data will take less than a minute, and running it without will take several hours. There is also other useful code including that used to compute the persistent homology of configurations and that used to package the data into netCDF4 format. Further details are given in the file 'README.md'.

Results and Impact TALK TITLE: Multiscale approaches to modelling vascular tumour growth. ABSTRACT: Understanding how vascular networks deliver nutrients and chemotherapy to solid tumours, how these networks evolve and how they may be manipulated to improve patient outcomes remain a major focus of cancer research. Such knowledge is important accurately to predict a tumour's response to radiotherapy and for establishing whether a particular patient's response can be enhanced by treatment with vascular targeting agents. Mathematical and computational models have the potential to provide valuable insight into the biophysical mechanisms that regulate tumour blood flow, transport and vascular remodelling, and a variety of models have been proposed. In this talk, I will explain how integrating data from in vitro and in vivo experiments within multiscale computational models can be used: (i) to propose new mechanisms for tumour hypoxia, and (ii) to characterise the morphology of vascular networks.

This talk is part of the Biological and Biomedical Physics series.

Results and Impact I was a member of the Programming Committee for the event. I also gave several talks and chaired several sessions.

TALK 1: Algebraic geometry in topological data analysis - with Parker Edwards, Emilie Dufresne, Jonathan D. Hauenstein.
TALK 1 ABSTRACT: I will discuss an adaptive algorithm for finding provably dense samples of points on a real algebraic variety given the variety's defining polynomials as input. Our algorithm utilizes methods from numerical algebraic geometry to give formal guarantees about the density of the sampling and it also employs geometric heuristics to reduce the size of the sample. As persistent homology methods consume significant computational resources that scale poorly in the number of sample points, our sampling minimization makes applying these methods more feasible. I will also present results of applying persistent homology to point samples generated by an implementation of the algorithm.

CHAIR 1 TITLE: Algebraic geometry, data science and fundamental physics. - with Yang-Hui He, Fabian Ruehle.
CHAIR 1 ABSTRACT: There has been an increasing interaction between computational algebraic geometry, data science and fundamental theoretical physics. This is rooted in the tradition that the 2 pillars of theoretical physics- general relativity and the standard model of particle physics, as well as their best candiate unified theory of superstrings - are physical realizations of the study of gauge connections and Riemannian metrics on manifolds. In the last couple of years, problems such as mapping the Calabi-Yau landscape, translating problems in particle theory to precise problems in algebraic and differential geometry, using the latest techniques in machine-learning, etc., have taken off in the theoretical physics community.

CHAIR 2&3 TITLE: Geometry and topology in applications - with Jacek Brodzki. Part 1 & 2

CHAIR 2 ABSTRACT for Parts 1 & 2: This symposium will bring together leading practitioners, mid-carreer scientists as well as PhD students and postdoctoral fellows who are interested in the theory and practice of the applications of geometry and topology in real life problems. The spectrum of possible applications is very wide, and covers the sciences, biology, medicine, materials science, and many others. The talks will address the theoretical foundations of the methodology as well as the state of the art of geometric and topological modelling.

Impact reported is not listed: As programme committee, I saw the major advances in applied algebra and topology.

Results and Impact TITLE: Comparing models and biological data using computational algebra and topology
ABSTRACT: Many biological problems, such as tumor-induced angiogenesis (the growth of blood vessels to provide nutrients to a tumor), or signaling pathways involved in the dysfunction of cancer (sets of molecules that interact that turn genes on/off and ultimately determine whether a cell lives or dies), can be modeled using differential equations. There are many challenges with analyzing these types of mathematical models, for example, rate constants, often referred to as parameter values, are difficult to measure or estimate from available data. I will present mathematical methods we have developed to enable us to compare mathematical models with experimental data. Depending on the type of data available, and the type of model constructed, we have combined techniques from computational algebraic geometry and topology, with statistics, networks and optimization to compare and classify models without necessarily estimating parameters. Specifically, I will introduce our methods that use computational algebraic geometry (e.g., Gröbner bases) and computational algebraic topology (e.g., persistent homology). I will present applications of our methodology on datasets involving cancer. Time permitting, I will conclude with our current work for analyzing spatio-temporal datasets with multiple parameters using computational algebraic topology. Mathematically, this is studying a module over a multivariate polynomial ring, and finding discriminating and computable invariants.

Results and Impact TITLE: Approaches to modelling tumour-immune interactions. ABSTRACT: While the presence of immune cells within solid tumours was initially viewed positively, as the host fighting to rid itself of a foreign body, we now know that the tumour can manipulate
immune cells so that they promote, rather than inhibit, tumour growth. Immunotherapy aims to
correct for this by boosting and/or restoring the normal function of the immune system.
Immunotherapy has delivered some extremely promising results. However the complexity of the
tumour-immune interactions means that it can be difficult to understand why one patient responds
well to immunotherapy while another does not. In this talk, we will show how mathematical
modelling can contribute to resolving this issue and present recent results which illustrate the
complementary insight that different modelling approaches can deliver.

Results and Impact TITLE: Topological data analysis for investigation of dynamics and networks

ABSTRACT: Persistent homology (PH) is a technique in topological data analysis that allows one to examine features in data across multiple scales in a robust and mathematically principled manner, and it is being applied to an increasingly diverse set of applications. We investigate applications of PH to dynamics and networks, focusing on two settings: dynamics on a network and dynamics of a network.

Dynamics on a network: a contagion spreading on a network is influenced by the spatial embeddedness of the network. In modern day, contagions can spread as a wave and through the appearance of new clusters via long-range edges, such as international flights. We study contagions by constructing 'contagion maps' that use multiple contagions on a network to map the nodes as a point cloud. By analyzing the topology, geometry, and dimensionality of manifold structure in such point clouds, we reveal insights to aid in the modelling, forecast, and control of spreading processes.

Dynamics of a network: one can construct static graph snapshots to represent a network that changes in time (e.g. edges are added/removed). We show that partitionings of a network of random-graph ensembles into snapshots using existing methods often lack meaningful temporal structure that corresponds to features of the underlying system. We apply persistent homology to track the topology of a network over time and distinguish important temporal features from trivial ones. We define two types of topological spaces derived from temporal networks and use persistent homology to generate a temporal profile for a network. We show that the methods we apply from computational topology can distinguish temporal distributions and provide a high-level summary of temporal structure.

Together, these two investigations illustrate that persistent homology can be very illuminating in the study of networks and their applications.
