In this talk, I will talk about topological data analysis (TDA) and itsapplication in biomolecular data analysis, in particular, drug design. I willbriefly introduce the TDA-based learning models, including simplicial complexgeneration, feature generation, and their combination with learning models.Further, I will discuss our recently-proposed persistent spectral based machinelearning (PerSpect ML) models. Persistent spectral models, including persistentspectral graph, persistent spectral simplicial complex, and persistent spectralhypergraph, are based on spectral graph theory, spectral simplicial complextheory, and spectral hypergraph theory, respectively. Different from allprevious spectral models, a filtration process is introduced to generatemultiscale spectral models. More specifically, from the filtration process, aseries of nested topological representations, i,e., graphs, simplicialcomplexes, and hypergraphs, can be systematically generated and their spectralinformation can be obtained. Persistent spectral variables are defined as thefunction of spectral variables over the filtration value. We test our models onthe most commonly-used databases, including PDBbind-2007, PDBbind-2013, andPDBbind-2016. Our results are better than all existing models, for all thesedatabases, as far as we know.
