Learning representations that are robust to nuisance factors is essential for reliable deployment, but remains challenging when the representations lie on non-Euclidean manifolds. Existing debiasing m...
Semantic-preserving transformations can induce substantial motion in learned representations, while small changes may strongly affect model predictions, raising a basic question: what local metric bes...

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.

LocaLeJEPA extends Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPA) by introducing a manifold-theoretic reformulation that aligns representation learning with non‑Euclidean geometric priors. It incorporates a locally Euclidean distribution‑matching regularizer, LocaLeReg, to stabilize training and scale to large models. Experiments on ImageNet‑1K show that LocaLeJEPA outperforms the original LeJEPA across both hyperbolic and Euclidean backbones, improving linear and k‑NN classification as well as downstream tasks.

arXiv:2410. 10137v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We develop Riemannian approaches to variational autoencoders (VAEs) for PDE-type ambient data with regularizing geometric latent dynamics, which we refer to as VAE-DLM, or VAEs with dynamical latent manifolds.
