Beyond Unimodal Bases: Pullback Geometry for Multimodal Data

The paper introduces a pullback Riemannian geometry tailored for multimodal data by employing a latent Gaussian mixture model. It defines a smooth, positive‑definite metric based on responsibility‑weighted component precision, extending the standard single‑Gaussian construction. Experiments on synthetic, multi‑view image, and MNIST datasets demonstrate reduced transport distortion, accurate trajectory recovery, and more realistic interpolation.

Common Covariance Geometry and Certification for Brownian Kernel Ladders

The paper introduces a new representation‑adaptive kernel class that, on a fixed sample, yields a union of reproducing‑kernel Hilbert‑space ellipsoids instead of a single ellipsoid. It defines a minimum‑trace common covariance dominating the empirical union generated by Brownian kernel ladders, and derives exact formulations, statistical and computational consequences, and a universal Gaussian‑complexity bound. The work further develops geometric reductions, deterministic depth laws, and exact empirical Kolmogorov‑width formulas, providing both lower and upper certificates for covariance certification and illustrating the distinction between successful covariance certification and predictive selection.

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.
