“…To address this issue, Topological Data Analysis (TDA) [28] has shown over the years its ability to reveal, in a generic, robust and efficient manner, the main structural patterns hidden in complex datasets, in particular for visual data analysis tasks [44]. Successful applications have been documented in multiple fields (turbulent combustion [19], [41], material sciences [43], [81], nuclear energy [57], fluid dynamics [49], [63], bioimaging [3], [14], quantum chemistry [64], [65] or astrophysics [79], [82]). Among the representations studied in TDA, the merge tree [22] (Fig.…”
