A Simplified View of the Jacobian Conjecture

Read the original on Towards Data Science →

The full conjecture is stated over abstract fields, but the counterexample is a concrete 3D function that we can explain and visualize using familiar geometric ideas and a little algebra. The post A Simplified View of the Jacobian Conjecture appeared first on Towards Data Science .

Generalization in Nonlinear Least Squares via Learned Feature Geometry

arXiv:2606. 08799v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the generalization of ridge-regularized nonlinear least-squares models via on-average algorithmic stability, deriving error bounds for local minimizers in terms of a data-dependent effective dimension that reflects the geometry of the gradient model at the trained parameters, through the empirical Jacobian Gram matrix and a residual--curvature term.

The Reverse Telescoping Coordinate System for Positive Definite Matrices: Geometry, Computation, and Generative Modeling

arXiv:2606. 15442v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We design a new unconstrained coordinate system where a $p\times p$ symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrix $\Theta$ is represented by a reverse telescoping map $\Theta(x)=\rm{RT}(x)$, with $x=(v,d,r)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^{(p-1)}\times\mathbb{R}^{p(p-1)/2}$, representing respectively the log volume or log determinant; and the shape, as encoded by log relative diagonal scales and partial covariances among the nodes.
