Topological Data Analysis of Decision Boundaries with Application to Model Selection
Proceedings of the 36th International Conference on Machine Learning, PMLR 97:5351-5360, 2019.
Abstract
We propose the labeled Cech complex, the plain labeled Vietoris-Rips complex, and the locally scaled labeled Vietoris-Rips complex to perform persistent homology inference of decision boundaries in classification tasks. We provide theoretical conditions and analysis for recovering the homology of a decision boundary from samples. Our main objective is quantification of deep neural network complexity to enable matching of datasets to pre-trained models to facilitate the functioning of AI marketplaces; we report results for experiments using MNIST, FashionMNIST, and CIFAR10.
