In this article we define and study a notion of asymptotic rank for metric spaces and show in our main theorem that for a large class of spaces, the asymptotic rank is characterized by the growth of the higher filling functions. For a proper, cocompact, simply-connected geodesic metric space of non-curvature in the sen…
We propose a low-rank approach to learning a Mahalanobis metric from data. Inspired by the recent geometric mean metric learning (GMML) algorithm, we propose a low-rank variant of the algorithm. This allows to jointly learn a low-dimensional subspace where the data reside and the Mahalanobis metric that appropriately f…
We prove an obstruction at the level of rational cohomology in small degrees to the existence of positively curved metrics with large symmetry rank. The symmetry rank bound is logarithmic in the dimension of the manifold. As an application, we provide evidence for a generalized conjecture of Hopf that says that no symm…
FLRML efficiently handles large-scale, high-dimensional data for metric learning.
problem Metric learning for large-scale, high-dimensional datasets is computationally expensive and memory-intensive.
method FLRML reformulates low-rank metric learning as an unconstrained optimization problem on the Stiefel manifold, enabling efficient mini-batch processing.
result FLRML achieves high accuracy with significantly reduced computational and memory costs.
Image ranking is to rank images based on some known ranked images. In this paper, we propose an improved linear ordinal distance metric learning approach based on the linear distance metric learning model. By decomposing the distance metric A as LTL, the problem can be cast as looking for a linear map between two …
We obtain Ricci flat Kähler metrics on complex symmetric spaces of rank two by using an explicit asymptotic model whose geometry at infinity is interpreted in the wonderful compactification of the symmetric space. We recover the metrics of Biquard-Gauduchon in the Hermitian case and obtain in addition several new metri…

problem Identifying geodesic orbit spaces for compact Lie groups of specific rank.
method Classification of simply connected geodesic orbit spaces where G is a compact Lie group of rank two.
result Only certain spheres and projective spaces, with metrics induced from Hopf fibrations, are geodesic orbit spaces for compact Lie groups of rank two.
The symmetry-rank of a riemannian manifold is by definition the rank of its isometry group. We determine precisely which smooth closed manifolds admit a positively curved metric with maximal symmetry-rank.
We study a remarkable class of paracontact metric manifolds which have no contact metric counterpart: the paracontact metric (−1,μ)-spaces which are not paraSasakian (i.e. have h=0). We present explicit examples with h of every possible constant rank and some with non-constant r…
We extend the recently introduced theory of Lovasz-Bregman (LB) divergences (Iyer & Bilmes 2012) in several ways. We show that they represent a distortion between a "score" and an "ordering", thus providing a new view of rank aggregation and order based clustering with interesting connections to web ranking. We show ho…

The paper introduces metrics to rank potential outcomes for better decision-making.
problem Optimal action selection in uncertain situations using causal reasoning.
method Introducing two new metrics: probabilities of potential outcome ranking (PoR) and probability of achieving the best potential outcome (PoB). Establishing identification theorems and deriving bounds for these metrics, and presenting estimation methods.
result The estimators' finite-sample properties and their application to a real-world dataset are demonstrated.
Let X be quasi-isometric to either the mapping class group equipped with the word metric, or to Teichmuller space equipped with either the Teichmuller metric or the Weil-Petersson metric. We introduce a unified approach to study the coarse geometry of these spaces. We show that the quasi-Lipschitz image in X of a box i…
Hashing, or learning binary embeddings of data, is frequently used in nearest neighbor retrieval. In this paper, we develop learning to rank formulations for hashing, aimed at directly optimizing ranking-based evaluation metrics such as Average Precision (AP) and Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG). We first o…
We study non-paraSasakian paracontact metric (κ,μ)-spaces with κ=−1 (equivalent to h2=0 but h=0). These manifolds, which do not have a contact geometry counterpart, will be classified locally in terms of the rank of h. We will also give explicit examples of every possible constant rank of h.
Ranking is a key aspect of many applications, such as information retrieval, question answering, ad placement and recommender systems. Learning to rank has the goal of estimating a ranking model automatically from training data. In practical settings, the task often reduces to estimating a rank functional of an object …
We define and study the renormalized volume for geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifolds, including with rank-1 cusps. We prove a variation formula, and show that for certain families of convex co-compact hyperbolic metrics $g_\eps$ degenerating to a geometrically finite hyperbolic metric g0 with rank-1 cus…
This paper investigates the theoretical foundations of metric learning, focused on three key questions that are not fully addressed in prior work: 1) we consider learning general low-dimensional (low-rank) metrics as well as sparse metrics; 2) we develop upper and lower (minimax)bounds on the generalization error; 3) w…
We give an explicit description of all complete G-invariant Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on the tangent bundle $T(G/K)\cong G^\bbC/K^\bbC$ of rank-one Riemannian symmetric spaces G/K of compact type, in terms of associated vector-functions.
