Deep Learning for Random Objects in Metric Spaces: Beyond Manifold Assumptions

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces a deep learning framework for regression with random objects in metric spaces, bypassing restrictive manifold or Euclidean embedding assumptions. It provides statistical consistency, convergence rates, and conditions that mitigate the curse of dimensionality for hierarchically compositional regression functions. Extensive simulations and two digital health case studies with distribution-valued outcomes demonstrate competitive predictive performance over existing methods.

Representation Learning for Equivariant Inference with Guarantees

arXiv:2505. 19809v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In many real-world applications of regression, conditional probability estimation, and uncertainty quantification, exploiting symmetries rooted in physics or geometry can dramatically improve generalization and sample efficiency.

Constant-Curvature Sliced Gromov-Wasserstein for Heterogeneous Cross-Curvature Alignment

The paper introduces Constant‑Curvature Sliced Gromov‑Wasserstein (CCSGW), a new divergence for aligning probability distributions on heterogeneous constant‑curvature spaces such as hyperbolic and spherical manifolds. It extends sliced Gromov‑Wasserstein by adding geodesic‑based one‑dimensional projections for spherical spaces, enabling efficient and principled comparison across manifolds with different curvatures while preserving intrinsic geometric relationships. The authors provide theoretical analysis showing that CCSGW controls intrinsic geometric discrepancy and demonstrate consistent performance gains when integrated into mixed‑curvature learning tasks like graph anomaly detection, node classification, and multimodal learning.

Nested Inductive Bias Framework for SPD Manifold Learning

The paper introduces a Nested Inductive Bias framework that uses a two‑stage diffeomorphic composition to pull back non‑Euclidean target geometries onto symmetric positive definite (SPD) manifolds. This approach allows the construction of curvature‑aligned Riemannian classifiers that respect both matrix constraints and the intrinsic relational geometry of data. Empirical results on kinematic, signal processing, and synthetic benchmarks show that class separability degrades when metric curvature does not match the data distribution, and the authors also propose the Rational Conformal Metric (RCM) for robust vectorized architectures.
