The paper introduces a geometry‑aware graph construction method that adaptively selects Gaussian kernel bandwidths per node to align the kernel’s spectral complexity with the intrinsic dimensionality of the underlying manifold. By matching the kernel’s effective rank to a local intrinsic dimension estimate derived from a minimum spanning tree, the method operates within a manifold‑consistent log‑log scaling regime. Experiments on CIFAR‑100 demonstrate that this adaptive bandwidth approach consistently improves leave‑one‑out classification and label propagation accuracy compared to fixed‑bandwidth and other adaptive techniques.

The paper introduces a Nested Inductive Bias framework that uses a two‑stage diffeomorphic composition to pull back non‑Euclidean target geometries onto symmetric positive definite (SPD) manifolds. This approach allows the construction of curvature‑aligned Riemannian classifiers that respect both matrix constraints and the intrinsic relational geometry of data. Empirical results on kinematic, signal processing, and synthetic benchmarks show that class separability degrades when metric curvature does not match the data distribution, and the authors also propose the Rational Conformal Metric (RCM) for robust vectorized architectures.
Curvature-Aware Radius Shrinkage for Adaptive Nearest Neighbor Classification (CARSANN) is a geometry-driven framework that adapts the spatial support of each neighborhood based on local geometric complexity. It estimates intrinsic dimensionality with TwoNN, builds an intrinsic representation via PCA, and uses a shape-operator-based estimate of local mean curvature to shrink the radius in highly curved regions while keeping a broader support in flatter areas. Experiments on over 70 OpenML datasets show that CARSANN consistently outperforms standard k‑NN and rivals other adaptive nearest‑neighbor methods, achieving a mean balanced accuracy increase from 0.6506 to 0.7528 and statistically significant improvements on most datasets.
