Topology can extract the structural information in a dataset efficiently. In this paper, we attempt to incorporate topological information into a multiple output Gaussian process model for transfer learning purposes. To achieve this goal, we extend the framework of circular coordinates into a novel framework of mixed valued coordinates to take linear trends in the time series into consideration. One of the major challenges to learn from multiple time series effectively via a multiple output Gaussian process model is constructing a functional kernel. We propose to use topologically induced clustering to construct a cluster based kernel in a multiple output Gaussian process model. This kernel not only incorporates the topological structural information, but also allows us to put forward a unified framework using topological information in time and motion series.

Topological Data Analysis (TDA) provides novel approaches that allow us to analyze the geometrical shapes and topological structures of a dataset. As one important application, TDA can be used for data visualization and dimension reduction. We follow the framework of circular coordinate representation, which allows us to perform dimension reduction and visualization for high-dimensional datasets on a torus using persistent cohomology. In this paper, we propose a method to adapt the circular coordinate framework to take into account sparsity in high-dimensional applications. We use a generalized penalty function instead of an $L_{2}$ penalty in the traditional circular coordinate algorithm. We provide simulation experiments and real data analysis to support our claim that circular coordinates with generalized penalty will accommodate the sparsity in high-dimensional datasets under different sampling schemes while preserving the topological structures.
