The precision study of dark matter using weak lensing by large scale structure is strongly constrained by the accuracy with which one can measure galaxy shapes. Several methods have been devised but none have demonstrated the ability to…

We suggest a two-dimensional wavelet devised to deduce the large-scale structure of a physical field (e.g., the Galactic magnetic field) from its integrals along straight paths from irregularly spaced data points to a fixed interior point…

Given a data set and a subset of labels the problem of semi-supervised learning on point clouds is to extend the labels to the entire data set. In this paper we extend the labels by minimising the constrained discrete $p$-Dirichlet energy.…
