Beyond The Concept of Manifolds: Principal Trees, Metro Maps, and Elastic Cubic Complexes

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Enginee ((LNCSE,volume 58))

Multidimensional data distributions can have complex topologies and variable local dimensions. To approximate complex data, we propose a new type of low-dimensional “principal object”: a principal cubic complex. This complex is a generalization of linear and non-linear principal manifolds and includes them as a particular case. To construct such an object, we combine a method of topological grammars with the minimization of an elastic energy defined for its embedment into multidimensional data space. The whole complex is presented as a system of nodes and springs and as a product of one-dimensional continua (represented by graphs), and the grammars describe how these continua transform during the process of optimal complex construction
