NeuralSRNF: Neural Square Root Normal Fields for the Statistical Shape Analysis and Generation of Nonrigid 3D and 4D Objects

NeuralSRNF is a new framework that enables efficient statistical shape analysis and generation of genus‑zero 3D and 4D objects undergoing nonrigid deformations. It replaces costly numerical SRNF inversion with a continuous, resolution‑agnostic neural representation that accurately reconstructs shapes and computes inverse SRNF maps in under 3 s, compared to over 10 min for traditional methods. Experiments on multiple datasets show that NeuralSRNF outperforms existing techniques in accuracy and speed across tasks such as geodesic computation, deformation transfer, statistical summarization, and shape generation.

Curvature-Aware Radius Shrinkage for Adaptive Nearest Neighbor Classification

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.

Rashomon Alignment

We propose Rashomon Alignment (RA), a new measure to assess functional similarity between two models. Existing functional similarity measures are distributional, quantifying differences between outputs of models applied to real-world data.
