arXiv:2606. 11263v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spectral methods rely fundamentally on the stability of principal eigenspaces under random perturbations.
The paper introduces the Sparse Landmark Embedding (SLE) kernel, a new framework that removes the need for conditionally negative definite (CND) distance measures in kernel methods and Gaussian Processes. By embedding each input into a sparse feature vector using compactly supported bump functions centered at all training points, any standard positive semi-definite (PSD) kernel can be applied in this embedding space, guaranteeing PSD for arbitrary distance measures. The authors provide theoretical guarantees on PSD, sparsity, stability, and universal approximation, and show through experiments with geodesic and Wasserstein distances that the SLE kernel matches or surpasses domain-specific baselines in predictive accuracy and uncertainty quantification.

arXiv:2602. 02908v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion models trained on different, non-overlapping subsets of a dataset often produce strikingly similar outputs when given the same noise seed.
The paper introduces a framework for restricted inference on random dot product graphs whose latent positions lie on an unknown low‑dimensional support manifold. It proposes semisupervised decision rules that employ Isomap manifold learning to build a low‑dimensional Euclidean representation of the observed graph, and then apply an isometrically invariant function to map point configurations to actions. The authors analyze how the risk of these rules converges to that of an oracle rule as the amount of auxiliary data sampled from the manifold increases.
