In "A Topology Layer for Machine Learning," are the topological priors learned by the network or imposed by humans?
In this paper by Gabrielsson, Nelson, et al. the authors "present a differentiable topology layer that can, among other things, construct a loss on the output of a deep generative network to ...

Reference request: Network/graph topology inference
I am a mathematician looking for a survey/book on methods for inference of graph/network topology (structure). Specifically, the kind of problem I am looking to study is as follows:
Given a graph $...

Topological rather than metric based machine learning theory?
The first notion of continuity in a math class is usually the one based on metric spaces. In particular, the $\epsilon,\delta$ definition of continuity.
But in topology, a more general notion of ...

Neural networks, mapping features to polar coordinates to deal with uncertain inputs
Let's say you've got a neural network which takes in a vector of real numbers as input. Additionally, let's say you're uncertain about the values of some components of the vector, and your level of ...

Deep learning with global connections/correlations
Deep learning for 1D/2D inputs usually assume some sort of local connections, whether it is using local filters, or recurrent connections etc. What if for our problem we think a connection between ...

Topology of Confidence Intervals
I hope this is the right site to post this.
The example I have in my mind is a GLMM model, where we infer random effects, and a random effect caterpillar plot (with confidence intervals):
Now, ...

Where can I get real data of big network topology? [closed]
I want to model how traffic will flow on real networks (not just the internet, also, say, Intel's internal LAN).
Is there a place I can get real network topologies data I can use?
