Model complexity is an important factor to consider when selecting among graphical models. When all variables are observed, the complexity of a model can be measured by its standard dimension, i.e. the number of independent parameters. When hidden variables are present, however, standard dimension might no longer be ap…
We introduce a notion of "effective dimension" of a statistical model based on the number of cubes of size 1/n needed to cover the model space when endowed with the Fisher Information Matrix as metric, n being the number of observations. The number of observations fixes a natural scale or resolution. The eff…
Sliced inverse regression (SIR) is a pioneer tool for supervised dimension reduction. It identifies the effective dimension reduction space, the subspace of significant factors with intrinsic lower dimensionality. In this paper, we propose to refine the SIR algorithm through an overlapping slicing scheme. The new algor…
We obtain an Einstein metric of constant negative curvature given an arbitrary boundary metric in three dimensions, and a conformally flat one given an arbitrary conformally flat boundary metric in other dimensions. In order to compute the on-shell value of the gravitational action for these solutions, we propose to in…
New theory shows deep networks adapt to data's intrinsic dimensionality even when data isn't on a low-dimensional manifold.
problem Existing theories on deep nonparametric regression assume data lie on a low-dimensional manifold, which is often not the case in real-world applications.
method Introduces effective Minkowski dimension to characterize the intrinsic dimension of data subsets and proves sample complexity depends on this new complexity notation.
result Deep neural networks can adapt to the effective Minkowski dimension of data, circumventing the curse of dimensionality for moderate sample sizes.

We prove the existence of Sasakian-Einstein metrics on infinitely many rational homology spheres in all odd dimensions greater than 3. In dimension 5 we obain somewhat sharper results. There are examples where the number of effective parameters in the Einstein metric grows exponentially with dimension.
This paper proposes a novel kernel approach to linear dimension reduction for supervised learning. The purpose of the dimension reduction is to find directions in the input space to explain the output as effectively as possible. The proposed method uses an estimator for the gradient of regression function, based on the…
We present MDP Playground, a testbed for Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents with dimensions of hardness that can be controlled independently to challenge agents in different ways and obtain varying degrees of hardness in toy and complex RL environments. We consider and allow control over a wide variety of dimensions, i…
The current study proposes a dimension reduction method, stepwise support vector machine (SVM), to reduce the dimensions of large p small n datasets. The proposed method is compared with other dimension reduction methods, namely, the Pearson product difference correlation coefficient (PCCs), recursive feature eliminati…
Our goal in this paper is to develop an effective estimator of fractal dimension. We survey existing ideas in dimension estimation, with a focus on the currently popular method of Grassberger and Procaccia for the estimation of correlation dimension. There are two major difficulties in estimation based on this method. …
In this text we give a decomposition result on polynomial poly-vector fields generalizing a result on the decomposition of homogeneous Poisson structures. We discuss consequences of this decomposition result in particular for low dimensions and low degrees. We provide the tools to calculate simple cubic Poisson structu…
Recently we introduced T-duality in the study of topological insulators, and used it to show that T-duality trivialises the bulk-boundary correspondence in 2 dimensions. In this paper, we partially generalise these results to higher dimensions and briefly discuss the 4D quantum Hall effect.
The correspondence between Riemann-Finsler geometries and effective field theories with spin-independent Lorentz violation is explored. We obtain the general quadratic action for effective scalar field theories in any spacetime dimension with Lorentz-violating operators of arbitrary mass dimension. Classical relativist…
The aim of this paper is to give an upper bound for the dimension of a torus T which acts on a GKM manifold M effectively. In order to do that, we introduce a free abelian group of finite rank, denoted by A(Γ,α,∇), from an (abstract) (m,n)-type GKM graph (Γ,α,∇). Here, an (m,n)-type GKM …
We study the relationship between national culture and the disposition effect by investigating international differences in the degree of investors' disposition effect. We utilize brokerage data of 387,993 traders from 83 countries and find great variation in the degree of the disposition effect across the world. We fi…
Variable selection and dimension reduction are two commonly adopted approaches for high-dimensional data analysis, but have traditionally been treated separately. Here we propose an integrated approach, called sparse gradient learning (SGL), for variable selection and dimension reduction via learning the gradients of t…
