arXiv:2608. 02576v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider optimization problems defined on product spaces of simplices.
arXiv:2503. 24075v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-rank optimization problems with sparse simplex constraints involve variables that must satisfy nonnegativity, sparsity, and sum-to-1 conditions, making their optimization particularly challenging due to the interplay between low-rank structures and constraints.
arXiv:2510. 21033v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a theory of iso-Riemannian optimization for problems constrained to learned data manifolds, a setting in which classical Riemannian optimization - and Riemannian gradient descent in particular - can be poorly suited.
arXiv:2606. 01216v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The elementwise Hadamard product of two low-rank matrices provides a parameter-efficient model for data with multiplicative structure, but its modeling is challenging due to the presence of additional symmetries under coupled row/column scalings between the two factors.
arXiv:2607. 22004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Energy natural gradient descent (ENGD) aligns parameter updates with the curvature of an underlying function-space energy, but existing formulations assume an unconstrained Euclidean parameter domain.
arXiv:2606. 12120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank optimal transport (OT) mitigates the quadratic scaling of classical solvers, yet existing approaches rely heavily on first-order mirror-descent updates that require careful hyperparameter tuning and ignore the optimization landscape's curvature.
arXiv:2603. 09793v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Bayesian optimization is a data-efficient technique that has been shown to be extremely powerful to optimize expensive, black-box, and possibly noisy objective functions.
arXiv:2405. 18220v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Tensor-based discrete density estimation requires flexible modeling and proper divergence criteria to enable effective learning; however, traditional approaches using $\alpha$-divergence face analytical challenges due to the $\alpha$-power terms in the objective function, which hinder the derivation of closed-form update rules.
arXiv:2601. 21487v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study minimization of smooth functions over feasible sets that have smooth embedded-manifold structure throughout or only on selected regions, using linear minimization oracles (LMOs) to determine search directions under user-chosen norms.
Point cloud denoising is essentially a geometric recovery task that aims to reconstruct the intrinsic structure of a smooth 2D Riemannian manifold embedded in R^3 from noisy, discrete ambient-space samples. Despite the remarkable progress of modern manifold-aware encoders and generative transport models in geometric representation learning, a fundamental objective-geometry mismatch remains underexplored.
arXiv:2510. 09468v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Latent manifolds of autoencoders provide low-dimensional representations of data, which can be studied from a geometric perspective.
arXiv:2608. 06218v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study Muon, a recently proposed matrix-aware optimization method, in the context of the Stiefel manifold.
arXiv:2606. 10019v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a fast and correspondence-free local point cloud registration method that leverages geometric surface structure and reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) embeddings.
