Common-Center Geometry and Certified Radial Reconstruction for Energy-Form Full Conformal Regions

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper investigates the geometry of full conformal prediction (FullCP) regions produced by an empirical energy‑form pairwise score. It shows that convexity of the candidate score alone does not ensure connected FullCP regions, and establishes conditions under which comparison regions share a common minimizer, making the exact conformal region star‑shaped. For power distances with exponent β≥1 the geometry is deterministic, and for β between 1 and 2 explicit Lipschitz bounds allow certified inner and outer radial envelopes with Hausdorff guarantees.

Projected Riemannian Gradient Descent for the Bures-Wasserstein Barycenter: Dimension-Independent Linear Convergence at Unit Step Size

The paper introduces a Projected Riemannian Gradient Descent (RGD) algorithm for computing the Bures‑Wasserstein barycenter of positive definite matrices, achieving dimension‑independent linear convergence at unit step size. It resolves a previous dichotomy by showing that clipping eigenvalues to a fixed interval yields a closed‑form, non‑expansive projection in the BW metric, allowing the algorithm to match the empirical speed of unit‑step RGD while maintaining theoretical guarantees. The method also extends to the invariant matrix projection problem, providing a unified dimension‑independent analysis.

Analytical Evaluation of DCA Convergence Properties for Minimizing Prediction Functions of Gaussian RBF Support Vector Regression

arXiv:2606. 03559v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For nonconvex optimization problems whose objective is the prediction function of a trained Support Vector Regression (SVR) model with the Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) kernel (RBF-SVR), we present a framework that applies the difference of convex functions (DC) algorithm (DCA) by exploiting the analytical structure of the RBF kernel to construct an explicit DC decomposition.
