Abstract
Abstract Topological properties play a crucial role in the analysis, reconstruction, and generation of 3D shapes. Yet, most existing research focuses primarily on geometric features, due to the lack of effective representations for topology. In this paper, we introduce TopoGen , a method that extracts both discrete and continuous topological descriptors–Betti numbers and persistence points–using persistent homology. These features provide robust characterizations of 3D shapes in terms of their topology. We incorporate them as conditional guidance in generative models for 3D shape synthesis, enabling topology‐aware generation from diverse inputs such as sparse and partial point clouds, as well as sketches. Furthermore, by modifying persistence points, we can explicitly control and alter the topology of generated shapes. Experimental results demonstrate that TopoGen enhances both diversity and controllability in 3D generation by embedding global topological structure into the synthesis process.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
