arXiv:2606. 00413v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) makes high-dimensional regression tractable by projecting the covariates onto a low-dimensional subspace that preserves the conditional mean of the response.
arXiv:2608. 12757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Laplacian-regularized minimization is fundamental in signal processing and machine learning, but is limited by the dense and ill-conditioned nature of the graph Laplacian pseudoinverse.
arXiv:2606. 19411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Selecting a small, diverse, high-quality subset from a massive pool of candidates is a recurring primitive in modern machine learning -- data curation and coreset selection for training and fine-tuning large models, active-learning batch acquisition, prompt and exemplar selection for in-context learning, retrieval diversification, and experimental design.
arXiv:2608. 08704v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kernel spectral clustering with a single bandwidth can be inadequate for data exhibiting multiple characteristic pairwise-distance scales, a problem particularly prevalent in the high-dimensional regime.
The paper introduces a new dimensionality reduction technique that enhances nearest‑neighbour relationships to estimate high‑information projections. It constructs a matrix encoding local covariance via nearest‑neighbour pairs and shows that, under standard regularity conditions, this matrix consistently estimates the Density Information Matrix (DIM), a non‑parametric analogue of the Fisher Information Matrix. The authors also demonstrate the method’s practical usefulness for clustering and outlier detection.
