Conformal prediction provides distribution-free coverage guaranties for regression; yet existing methods assume Euclidean output spaces and produce prediction regions that are poorly calibrated when responses lie on Riemannian manifolds. We…
The reach of a submanifold is a crucial regularity parameter for manifold learning and geometric inference from point clouds. This paper relates the reach of a submanifold to its convexity defect function. Using the stability properties of…
Fine regularity of stochastic processes is usually measured in a local way by local H\"older exponents and in a global way by fractal dimensions. Following a previous work of Adler, we connect these two concepts for multiparameter Gaussian…
We study the estimation of the reach, an ubiquitous regularity parameter in manifold estimation and geometric data analysis. Given an i.i.d. sample over an unknown $d$-dimensional $\mathcal{C}^k$-smooth submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^D$, we…
An integral stability estimate is proved for refraction coefficients of two conformal metrics in a plane domain in terms of its travel times. No assumption on absence of conjugate points of geodesics is made.
Conformal prediction provides finite-sample, distribution-free coverage under exchangeability, but standard constructions may lack robustness in the presence of outliers or heavy tails. We propose a robust conformal method based on a…
The set B of geodesic rays avoiding a suitable obstacle in a complete negatively curved Riemannian manifold determines a spectrum S. While various properties of this spectrum are known, we define and study dimension functions on S in terms…
Consider the problem of estimating the $\gamma$-level set $G^*_{\gamma}=\{x:f(x)\geq\gamma\}$ of an unknown $d$-dimensional density function $f$ based on $n$ independent observations $X_1,...,X_n$ from the density. This problem has been…
We address the problem of curvature estimation from sampled compact sets. The main contribution is a stability result: we show that the gaussian, mean or anisotropic curvature measures of the offset of a compact set K with positive…
Conformal geodesics are distinguished curves on a conformal manifold, loosely analogous to geodesics of Riemannian geometry. One definition of them is as solutions to a third order differential equation determined by the conformal…
A $W^{1,p}$-metric on an $n$-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold naturally induces a distance function, provided $p$ is sufficiently close to $n$. If a sequence of metrics $g_k$ converges in $W^{1,p}$ to a limit metric $g$, then the…
The theory of geodesic regression aims to find a geodesic curve which is an optimal fit to a given set of data. In this article we restrict ourselves to the Riemannian manifold of positive definite operators (matrices) on a Hilbert space of…
In this paper we consider adaptive sampling's local-feature size, used in surface reconstruction and geometric inference, with respect to an arbitrary landmark set rather than the medial axis and relate it to a path-based adaptive metric on…
Conformal prediction provides a distribution-free framework for uncertainty quantification via prediction sets with exact finite-sample coverage. In low dimensions these sets are easy to interpret, but in high-dimensional or structured…
We investigate the Hausdorff measure and content on a class of quasi self-similar sets that include, for example, graph-directed and sub self-similar and self-conformal sets. We show that any Hausdorff measurable subset of such a set has…
Active contour models based on partial differential equations have proved successful in image segmentation, yet the study of their geometric formulation on arbitrary geometric graphs is still at an early stage. In this paper, we introduce…
In this paper, we study relative metric regularity of set-valued mappings with emphasis on directional metric regularity. We establish characterizations of relative metric regularity without assuming the completeness of the image spaces, by…
Conformal prediction provides rigorous, distribution-free uncertainty guarantees, but often yields prohibitively large prediction sets in structured domains such as routing, planning, or sequential recommendation. We introduce "graph-based…
In this paper, we consider the travel time tomography problem for conformal metrics on a bounded domain, which seeks to determine the conformal factor of the metric from the lengths of geodesics joining boundary points. We establish forward…
Inferring time-varying graph structures from high-dimensional nodal observations is a fundamental problem arising in neuroscience, finance, climatology, and beyond. Two intrinsic challenges govern this problem: maintaining the…
