arXiv:2606.15452v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rare events in time series are critical to model but hard to learn due to data scarcity. Current generative models struggle with extreme values. We observe that rare events leave distinct topological fingerprints - transitions in Betti numbers from point-cloud embeddings - that are more stable and discriminative than statistical moments. We introduce PHINN, a flow-matching framework using dynamic Betti curves as conditioning signals and a persistence landscape loss for homology consistency. It scales to multivariate data, includes a natural-langu
The increasing sophistication of generative AI models demands better handling of edge cases, pushing research into novel mathematical approaches like topological data analysis.
This development could significantly improve the reliability and safety of AI systems by enabling them to accurately model and predict rare, high-impact events across various domains.
Generative AI models can now potentially overcome the data scarcity problem for rare events, leading to more robust risk management, financial modeling, and scientific simulations.
