Abstract
One way to learn the topology of principal manifolds known only through a finite set of points is to locate some prototypes representative of the set of points in the ambient space, and to build a graph connecting them. Then the topological characteristics of interest can be extracted from the resulting graph. This paper studies the GenerativeGaussian Graph proposed by Aupetit that allows modelling the connectedness of some principal manifolds. In the practical implementation of this algorithm, two parameters are required to be chosen (the number of prototypes and a threshold to prune the graph). The goal of this pa-per is to develop an automatic method for choosing the values these parameters.
