The Wasserstein distance received a lot of attention recently in the community of machine learning, especially for its principled way of comparing distributions. It has found numerous applications in several hard problems, such as domain…

Since the popularization of the Stiefel manifold for numerical applications in 1998 in a seminal paper from Edelman et al., it has been exhibited to be a key to solve many problems from optimization, statistics and machine learning. In…

We study the algebraic complexity of Euclidean distance minimization from a generic tensor to a variety of rank-one tensors. The Euclidean Distance (ED) degree of the Segre-Veronese variety counts the number of complex critical points of…

Optimization over the Stiefel manifold is a fundamental computational problem in many scientific and engineering applications. Despite considerable research effort, high-dimensional optimization problems over the Stiefel manifold remain…

We present two algorithms for large-scale low-rank Euclidean distance matrix completion problems, based on semidefinite optimization. Our first method works by relating cliques in the graph of the known distances to faces of the positive…

We provide two closed-form geodesic formulas for a family of metrics on Stiefel manifold, parameterized by two positive numbers, having both the embedded and canonical metrics as special cases. The closed-form formulas allow us to compute…

In this paper, a descent method for nonsmooth multiobjective optimization problems on complete Riemannian manifolds is proposed. The objective functions are only assumed to be locally Lipschitz continuous instead of convexity used in…

Wasserstein gradient flows on probability measures have found a host of applications in various optimization problems. They typically arise as the continuum limit of exchangeable particle systems evolving by some mean-field interaction…

The closest tensors of higher symmetry classes are derived in explicit form for a given elasticity tensor of arbitrary symmetry. The mathematical problem is to minimize the elastic length or distance between the given tensor and the closest…

We introduce a framework to study the transformation of problems with manifold constraints into unconstrained problems through parametrizations in terms of a Euclidean space. We call these parametrizations "trivializations". We prove…

$\newcommand{\eps}{\varepsilon}$ In this paper, we consider two important problems defined on finite metric spaces, and provide efficient new algorithms and approximation schemes for these problems on inputs given as graph shortest path…

The Euclidean distance geometry problem arises in a wide variety of applications, from determining molecular conformations in computational chemistry to localization in sensor networks. When the distance information is incomplete, the…

To improve our understanding of connected systems, different tools derived from statistics, signal processing, information theory and statistical physics have been developed in the last decade. Here, we will focus on the graph comparison…

For optimization problems on Riemannian manifolds, many types of globally convergent algorithms have been proposed, and they are often equipped with the Riemannian version of the Armijo line search for global convergence. Such existing…

We propose an inexact optimization algorithm on Riemannian manifolds, motivated by quadratic discrimination tasks in high-dimensional, low-sample-size (HDLSS) imaging settings. In such applications, gradient evaluations are often biased due…

We propose a unifying algorithm for non-smooth non-convex optimization. The algorithm approximates the objective function by a convex model function and finds an approximate (Bregman) proximal point of the convex model. This approximate…

The symplectic Stiefel manifold, denoted by $\mathrm{Sp}(2p,2n)$, is the set of linear symplectic maps between the standard symplectic spaces $\mathbb{R}^{2p}$ and $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$. When $p=n$, it reduces to the well-known set of $2n\times…

In the Euclidean setting, the proximal gradient method and its accelerated variants are a class of efficient algorithms for optimization problems with decomposable objective. In this paper, we develop a Riemannian proximal gradient method…

One of the common tasks in unsupervised learning is dimensionality reduction, where the goal is to find meaningful low-dimensional structures hidden in high-dimensional data. Sometimes referred to as manifold learning, this problem is…

Manifold learning methods play a prominent role in nonlinear dimensionality reduction and other tasks involving high-dimensional data sets with low intrinsic dimensionality. Many of these methods are graph-based: they associate a vertex…
