Certifying Robustness via Topological Representations (2501.10876v1)

Abstract: We propose a neural network architecture that can learn discriminative geometric representations of data from persistence diagrams, common descriptors of Topological Data Analysis. The learned representations enjoy Lipschitz stability with a controllable Lipschitz constant. In adversarial learning, this stability can be used to certify $\epsilon$-robustness for samples in a dataset, which we demonstrate on the ORBIT5K dataset representing the orbits of a discrete dynamical system.
