Iso-Riemannian Optimization on Learned Data Manifolds

arXiv:2510. 21033v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a theory of iso-Riemannian optimization for problems constrained to learned data manifolds, a setting in which classical Riemannian optimization - and Riemannian gradient descent in particular - can be poorly suited.

GeoFlowVLM: Geometry-Aware Joint Uncertainty for Frozen Vision-Language Embedding

arXiv:2605. 13352v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Standard dual-encoder vision-language models that map images and text to deterministic points on a shared unit hypersphere through $\ell_2$ normalization typically expose neither \emph{aleatoric} uncertainty (cross-modal ambiguity) nor \emph{epistemic} uncertainty (lack of training-distribution support).

Text Has Curvature

The paper investigates whether natural language text possesses an intrinsic curvature, proposing a new metric called Texture that captures word-level discrete curvature. Texture is defined as a signed two-axis curvature of the word-in-context belief field, measuring how context from one side contracts or expands the semantic effect of context from the other side. The authors provide empirical and theoretical evidence of non-flat semantic inference, define Texture formally, and demonstrate its practical utility in improving long-context inference and retrieval-augmented generation.
