In label-noise learning, the noise transition matrix reveals how an instance transitions from its clean label to its noisy label. Accurately estimating an instance's noise transition matrix is crucial for estimating its clean label.
In this work, we investigate the geometry of the k-th homology embedding and focus on cases reminiscent of spectral clustering. Namely, we analyze the connected sum of manifolds as a perturbation of the direct sum of their homology embeddings.
