A data-driven framework is presented, that enables the prediction of quantities, either observations or parameters, given sufficient partial data. The framework is illustrated via a computational model of the deposition of Cu in a Chemical…

We introduce a theory of local kernels, which generalize the kernels used in the standard diffusion maps construction of nonparametric modeling. We prove that evaluating a local kernel on a data set gives a discrete representation of the…

We consider a collection of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ measured at $m$ times, which are encoded in an $n \times d \times m$ data tensor. Our objective is to define a single embedding of the $n$ points into Euclidean space which summarizes…

We propose a manifold matching approach to generative models which includes a distribution generator (or data generator) and a metric generator. In our framework, we view the real data set as some manifold embedded in a high-dimensional…
