Abstract:After a somewhat rocky start, geometry and topology have established a foothold in machine learning. Message passing, either on graphs or higher-order complexes, is one of the main drivers of geometric deep learning, and paradigms that were once considered to be firmly in the realm of the abstract-like sheaves-have been "tamed" to serve as novel inductive biases for model architectures in topological deep learning. The veritable diversity of models, however, is in stark contrast to the scarcity of suitable benchmark datasets. As a result, researchers often resort to lifting existing graph datasets to include higher-order information. In this opinion paper, I want to encourage the community to also source new datasets, which may be used to prop up the foundations of our research field.
