Topological Deep Learning with State-Space Models: A Mamba Approach for Simplicial Complexes

Marco Montagna, Simone Scardapane, Lev Telyatnikov·September 18, 2024

Summary

The novel architecture for topological deep learning, focusing on simplicial complexes, introduces a Mamba state-space model-based approach to address limitations of Graph Neural Networks in handling higher-order interactions. This method enables direct communication between all higher-order structures, outperforming state-of-the-art models for simplicial complexes. The paper combines sequence modeling with topological deep learning, using Mamba on simplicial complexes derived from graph datasets. It facilitates efficient information propagation across different ranks in a single step, making it suitable for experiments on various graph datasets converted to simplicial complexes. The proposed approach also evaluates the impact of an efficient batching technique on memory usage, training time, and performance, demonstrating its effectiveness compared to state-of-the-art models for simplicial complexes.
