The numerical simulation of realistic reactive flows is a major challenge due to the stiffness and high dimension of the corresponding kinetic differential equations. Manifold-based model reduction techniques address this problem by…

We address the problem of estimating topological features from data in high dimensional Euclidean spaces under the manifold assumption. Our approach is based on the computation of persistent homology of the space of data points endowed with…

The space of embedded submanifolds plays an important role in applications such as computational anatomy and shape analysis. We can define two different classes on Riemannian metrics on this space: so-called outer metrics are metrics that…

We start by considering the problem of estimating intrinsic distances on a smooth submanifold. We show that minimax optimality can be obtained via a reconstruction of the surface, and discuss the use of a particular mesh construction -- the…

We introduce Hodge Diffusion Maps, a novel manifold learning algorithm designed to analyze and extract topological information from high-dimensional data-sets. This method approximates the exterior derivative acting on differential forms,…

In this work, we propose to study the global geometrical properties of generative models. We introduce a new Riemannian metric to assess the similarity between any two data points. Importantly, our metric is agnostic to the parametrization…

Representing images and videos with Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) matrices, and considering the Riemannian geometry of the resulting space, has been shown to yield high discriminative power in many visual recognition tasks.…

Fitting an unknown number of hyperplanes to data is a fundamental yet challenging problem in machine learning, characterized by its non-convexity, non-differentiability, and unknown model order. Existing approaches often struggle with local…

Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) is one of the most popular methods for dimensionality reduction and visualization of high dimensional data. Apart from these tasks, it also found applications in the field of geometry processing for the…

Diffusion models indirectly estimate the probability density over a data space, which can be used to study its structure. In this work, we show that geodesics can be computed in diffusion latent space, where the norm induced by the…

Given a graph or similarity matrix, we consider the problem of recovering a notion of true distance between the nodes, and so their true positions. We show that this can be accomplished in two steps: matrix factorisation, followed by…

Flow matching has emerged as a simulation-free alternative to diffusion-based generative modeling, producing samples by solving an ODE whose time-dependent velocity field is learned along an interpolation between a simple source…

We compute the length of geodesics on a Riemannian manifold by regular polynomial interpolation of the global solution of the eikonal equation related to the line element $ds^2=g_{ij}dx^idx^j$ of the manifold. Our algorithm approximates the…

This paper advocates a novel framework for segmenting a dataset in a Riemannian manifold $M$ into clusters lying around low-dimensional submanifolds of $M$. Important examples of $M$, for which the proposed clustering algorithm is…

The geodesic flow on a finite discrete q-manifold with or without boundary is defined as as a permutation of its ordered q-simplices. This allows to define geodesic sheets and a notion of sectional curvature.

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…

Nonlinear dimensionality reduction methods provide a valuable means to visualize and interpret high-dimensional data. However, many popular methods can fail dramatically, even on simple two-dimensional manifolds, due to problems such as…

Invariant manifolds of unstable periodic orbits organize the dynamics of chaotic orbits in phase space. They provide insight into the mechanisms of transport and chaotic advection and have important applications in physical situations…

Neural samplers such as variational autoencoders (VAEs) or generative adversarial networks (GANs) approximate distributions by transforming samples from a simple random source---the latent space---to samples from a more complex distribution…

Training model to generate data has increasingly attracted research attention and become important in modern world applications. We propose in this paper a new geometry-based optimization approach to address this problem. Orthogonal to…
