Matrix profile has been recently proposed as a promising technique to the problem of all-pairs-similarity search on time series. Efficient algorithms have been proposed for computing it, e.g., STAMP, STOMP and SCRIMP++. All these algorithms use the z-normalized Euclidean distance to measure the distance between subsequ…
Unified framework for hyperbolic embeddings from mixed data types.
Although recovering an Euclidean distance matrix from noisy observations is a common problem in practice, how well this could be done remains largely unknown. To fill in this void, we study a simple distance matrix estimate based upon the so-called regularized kernel estimate. We show that such an estimate can be chara…
Study infinite Euclidean distance discriminants of algebraic varieties.
This paper addresses the problem of low-rank distance matrix completion. This problem amounts to recover the missing entries of a distance matrix when the dimension of the data embedding space is possibly unknown but small compared to the number of considered data points. The focus is on high-dimensional problems. We r…
Euclidean nets reveal properties of higher-dimensional manifolds.
We investigate some geometric properties of the real algebraic variety of symmetric matrices with repeated eigenvalues. We explicitly compute the volume of its intersection with the sphere and prove a Eckart-Young-Mirsky-type theorem for the distance function from a generic matrix to points in . We exhibit conne…
The original k-means clustering method works only if the exact vectors representing the data points are known. Therefore calculating the distances from the centroids needs vector operations, since the average of abstract data points is undefined. Existing algorithms can be extended for those cases when the sole input i…
Classical multidimensional scaling only works well when the noisy distances observed in a high dimensional space can be faithfully represented by Euclidean distances in a low dimensional space. Advanced models such as Maximum Variance Unfolding (MVU) and Minimum Volume Embedding (MVE) use Semi-Definite Programming (SDP…
Rigidity theorem for discrete metric spaces embedded in Riemannian surfaces.
This paper proposes a representational model for grid cells. In this model, the 2D self-position of the agent is represented by a high-dimensional vector, and the 2D self-motion or displacement of the agent is represented by a matrix that transforms the vector. Each component of the vector is a unit or a cell. The mode…
Matrix Factorization is a popular non-convex optimization problem, for which alternating minimization schemes are mostly used. They usually suffer from the major drawback that the solution is biased towards one of the optimization variables. A remedy is non-alternating schemes. However, due to a lack of Lipschitz conti…
We introduce a model of the set of all Polish (=separable complete metric) spaces: the cone of distance matrices, and consider geometric and probabilistic problems connected with this object. The notion of the universal distance matrix is defined and we proved that the set of such matrices is everywhere dense …

We proved a matrix Li-Yau-Hamilton type gradient estimates for the positive solutin of the heat equation on complete Kaehler manifolds with nonnegative bisectional curvature. As a consequence we obtain a comparison theorem for the distance function under this curvature assumption.
We give a new, very general, formulation of the compressed sensing problem in terms of coordinate projections of an analytic variety, and derive sufficient sampling rates for signal reconstruction. Our bounds are linear in the coherence of the signal space, a geometric parameter independent of the specific signal and m…

This paper considers the problem of completing a matrix with many missing entries under the assumption that the columns of the matrix belong to a union of multiple low-rank subspaces. This generalizes the standard low-rank matrix completion problem to situations in which the matrix rank can be quite high or even full r…
Efficiently implements MEG for low-rank matrix optimization problems.
In this paper, we prove gap results for constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces. Firstly, we find a natural inequality for CMC surfaces which imply convexity for distance function. We then show that if is a complete, properly embedded CMC surface in the Euclidean space satisfying this inequality, then is either …

Study shows singular set of distance functions is delta-convex.
Many interesting machine learning problems are best posed by considering instances that are distributions, or sample sets drawn from distributions. Previous work devoted to machine learning tasks with distributional inputs has done so through pairwise kernel evaluations between pdfs (or sample sets). While such an appr…
We report on experimental measurement of the Hilbert-Schmidt distance between two two-qubit states by many-particle interference. We demonstrate that our three-step method for measuring distances in Hilbert space is far less complex than reconstructing density matrices and that it can be applied in quantum-enhanced mac…
The matrix completion problem consists of finding or approximating a low-rank matrix based on a few samples of this matrix. We propose a new algorithm for matrix completion that minimizes the least-square distance on the sampling set over the Riemannian manifold of fixed-rank matrices. The algorithm is an adaptation of…
Spectral clustering is one of the most widely used techniques for extracting the underlying global structure of a data set. Compressed sensing and matrix completion have emerged as prevailing methods for efficiently recovering sparse and partially observed signals respectively. We combine the distance preserving measur…
Algorithm reconstructs vertex positions in random geometric graphs with improved accuracy.
We introduce an universum of the Polish (=complete separable metric) space - the convex cone of distance matrices and study its geometry. It happened that the generic Polish spaces in this sense of this universum is so called Urysohn spaces defined by P.S.Urysohn in 20-th, and generic metric triple (= metric space with…
We study the stability of the Positive Mass Theorem using the Intrinsic Flat Distance. In particular we consider the class of complete asymptotically flat rotationally symmetric Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and no interior closed minimal surfaces whose boundaries are either outermost minimal h…
This paper corrects the proof of the Theorem 2 from the Gower's paper \cite[page 5]{Gower:1982} as well as corrects the Theorem 7 from Gower's paper \cite{Gower:1986}. The first correction is needed in order to establish the existence of the kernel function used commonly in the kernel trick e.g. for -means clusterin…
