Graph-Regularized Low-Rank Matrix Completion by Variable Projection

arXiv:2607. 09546v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We address the low-rank matrix completion problem by incorporating graph regularization into the existing Riemannian Trust-Region Matrix Completion (RTRMC) framework.

Low-rank Distributional Matrix Completion

arXiv:2606. 04176v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a distributional generalization of the matrix completion problem in which each entry of the target matrix is a probability distribution rather than a scalar.

Riemannian Optimization for Hadamard Products of Low-Rank Matrices

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.

Optimization on the Oblique Manifold for Sparse Simplex Constraints via Multiplicative Updates

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.

A Riemannian Approach to Low-Rank Optimal Transport

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.
