In 2004, Carter, Elhamdadi and Saito defined a homology theory for set-theoretic Yang–Baxter operators (we will call it the “algebraic” version in this paper). In 2012, Przytycki defined another homology theory for pre-Yang–Baxter operators which has a nice graphic visualization (we will call it the “graphic” version in this paper). We show that they are equivalent. The “graphic” homology is also defined for pre-Yang–Baxter operators, and we give some examples of its one-term and two-term homologies. In the two-term case, we have found torsion in homology of Yang–Baxter operator that yields the Jones polynomial.
