We consider learning in an adversarial environment, where an $\varepsilon$-fraction of samples from a distribution $P$ are arbitrarily modified (global corruptions) and the remaining perturbations have average magnitude bounded by $\rho$…

Wasserstein gradient flow (WGF) is a common method to perform optimization over the space of probability measures. While WGF is guaranteed to converge to a first-order stationary point, for nonconvex functionals the converged solution does…

Multilinear Discriminant Analysis (MDA) is a powerful dimension reduction method specifically formulated to deal with tensor data. Precisely, the goal of MDA is to find mode-specific projections that optimally separate tensor data from…

Learning disentangled representations without supervision or inductive biases, often leads to non-interpretable or undesirable representations. On the other hand, strict supervision requires detailed knowledge of the true generative…

The use of optimal transport cost for learning generative models has become popular with Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks (WGAN). Training of WGAN relies on a theoretical background: the calculation of the gradient of the optimal…

In many data classification problems, there is no linear relationship between an explanatory and the dependent variables. Instead, there may be ranges of the input variable for which the observed outcome is signficantly more or less likely.…
