Learning representations that are robust to nuisance factors is essential for reliable deployment, but remains challenging when the representations lie on non-Euclidean manifolds. Existing debiasing m...
Semantic-preserving transformations can induce substantial motion in learned representations, while small changes may strongly affect model predictions, raising a basic question: what local metric bes...

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.
