The problem of computing a bi-Lipschitz embedding of a graphical metric into the line with minimum distortion has received a lot of attention. The best-known approximation algorithm computes an embedding with distortion $O(c^2)$, where $c$…

Modern datasets across many disciplines increasingly consist of time-evolving, potentially infinite-dimensional random objects, such as dynamic functional data, which are naturally modeled in Hilbert spaces. In these settings,…

Symmetric functions, which take as input an unordered, fixed-size set, are known to be universally representable by neural networks that enforce permutation invariance. These architectures only give guarantees for fixed input sizes, yet in…

We study the problem of embedding shortest-path metrics of weighted graphs into $\ell_p$ spaces. We introduce a new embedding technique based on low-depth decompositions of a graph via shortest paths. The notion of Shortest Path…

We propose a novel node embedding of directed graphs to statistical manifolds, which is based on a global minimization of pairwise relative entropy and graph geodesics in a non-linear way. Each node is encoded with a probability density…

We give a simple example of a countable metric space $M$ that does not embed bi-Lipschitz with distortion strictly less than 2 into any Asplund space. Actually, if $M$ embeds with distortion strictly less than 2 to a Banach space $X$, then…

Fix $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and $0 < \delta < 1$. We study how large $N$ must be so that every $\delta$-dense subset $\mathcal{D} \subset \{0,1\}^N$ (meaning $|\mathcal{D}| \geq \delta 2^N$) contains the image of a metric embedding $f: \{0,1\}^k…

Embedding high-dimensional data into a low-dimensional space is an indispensable component of data analysis. In numerous applications, it is necessary to align and jointly embed multiple datasets from different studies or experimental…

We give the first non-trivial decremental dynamic embedding of a weighted, undirected graph $G$ into $\ell_p$ space. Given a weighted graph $G$ undergoing a sequence of edge weight increases, the goal of this problem is to maintain a…

By representing words with probability densities rather than point vectors, probabilistic word embeddings can capture rich and interpretable semantic information and uncertainty. The uncertainty information can be particularly meaningful in…

We study the problem of finding a minimum-distortion embedding of the shortest path metric of an unweighted graph into a "simpler" metric $X$. Computing such an embedding (exactly or approximately) is a non-trivial task even when $X$ is the…

This paper is concerned with embeddings of homogeneous spaces into Euclidean spaces. We show that any homogeneous metric space can be embedded into a Hilbert space using an almost bi-Lipschitz mapping (bi-Lipschitz to within logarithmic…

We initiate the study of metric embeddings with \emph{outliers}. Given some metric space $(X,\rho)$ we wish to find a small set of outlier points $K \subset X$ and either an isometric or a low-distortion embedding of $(X\setminus K,\rho)$…
