Modern machine learning increasingly leverages the insight that high-dimensional data often lie near low-dimensional, non-linear manifolds, an idea known as the manifold hypothesis. By explicitly modeling the geometric structure of data…

We derive bounds for the Orlicz norm of the deviation of a random variable defined on $\mathbb{R}^n$ from its Gaussian mean value. The random variables are assumed to be smooth and the bound itself depends on the Orlicz norm of the…
