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 $(X\setminus K,\rho)$…

Ordinal embedding aims at finding a low dimensional representation of objects from a set of constraints of the form "item $j$ is closer to item $i$ than item $k$". Typically, each object is mapped onto a point vector in a low dimensional…

For any finite point set in $D$-dimensional space equipped with the 1-norm, we present random linear embeddings to $k$-dimensional space, with a new metric, having the following properties. For any pair of points from the point set that are…

A general position map $f:K\to M$ of a $k$-dimensional simplicial complex to a $2k$-dimensional manifold (for $k=1$, of a graph to a surface) is a $\mathbb Z_2$-embedding if $|f\sigma \cap f\tau|$ is even for any non-adjacent $k$-faces…

Metric embedding is a powerful tool used extensively in mathematics and computer science. We devise a new method of using metric embeddings recursively, which turns out to be particularly effective in $\ell_p$ spaces, $p>2$, yielding…

Under which conditions and with which distortions can we preserve the pairwise-distances of low-complexity vectors, e.g., for structured sets such as the set of sparse vectors or the one of low-rank matrices, when these are mapped in a…

We consider the task of fitting low-dimensional embeddings to high-dimensional data. In particular, we study the $k$-Euclidean Metric Violation problem ($\textsf{$k$-EMV}$), where the input is $D \in \mathbb{R}^{\binom{n}{2}}_{\geq 0}$ and…

Ordinal Embedding places n objects into R^d based on comparisons such as "a is closer to b than c." Current optimization-based approaches suffer from scalability problems and an abundance of low quality local optima. We instead consider a…

We present and study approximate notions of dimensional and margin complexity, which correspond to the minimal dimension or norm of an embedding required to approximate, rather then exactly represent, a given hypothesis class. We show that…

A common technique for compressing a neural network is to compute the $k$-rank $\ell_2$ approximation $A_{k,2}$ of the matrix $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times d}$ that corresponds to a fully connected layer (or embedding layer). Here, $d$ is the…

Researchers have recently suggested that models share common representations. In our work, we find numerous geometric similarities across the token embeddings of large language models. First, we find ``global'' similarities: token…

The kernel $k$-means is an effective method for data clustering which extends the commonly-used $k$-means algorithm to work on a similarity matrix over complex data structures. The kernel $k$-means algorithm is however computationally very…

We consider the problem of constructing small coresets for $k$-Median in Euclidean spaces. Given a large set of data points $P\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, a coreset is a much smaller set $S\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, so that the $k$-Median costs of…
