Topological Deep Learning

Topological Deep Learning (TDL) is a framework that extends deep learning beyond graphs to higher-order topological domains such as simplicial complexes, cell complexes, and hypergraphs. Formalized by Hajij et al. (2023), TDL provides a unified mathematical language for defining message-passing schemes across cells of different ranks, enabling neural networks to model multi-way interactions that pairwise graph edges cannot capture. It is relevant to researchers working with relational, geometric, or biological data exhibiting group-level dependencies.
