We introduce the concept of Hypoelliptic Diffusion Maps (HDM), a framework generalizing Diffusion Maps in the context of manifold learning and dimensionality reduction. Standard non-linear dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., LLE, ISOMAP, Laplacian Eigenmaps, Diffusion Maps) focus on mining massive data sets using w…
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for manifold learning that combines the Earthmover's distance (EMD) with the diffusion maps method for dimensionality reduction. We demonstrate the potential benefits of this approach for learning shape spaces of proteins and other flexible macromolecules using a simulated dat…
Diffusion maps are an emerging data-driven technique for non-linear dimensionality reduction, which are especially useful for the analysis of coherent structures and nonlinear embeddings of dynamical systems. However, the computational complexity of the diffusion maps algorithm scales with the number of observations. T…
We address the problem of influence maximization when the social network is accompanied by diffusion cascades. In prior works, such information is used to compute influence probabilities, which is utilized by stochastic diffusion models in influence maximization. Motivated by the recent criticism on the effectiveness o…
Diffusion maps are a commonly used kernel-based method for manifold learning, which can reveal intrinsic structures in data and embed them in low dimensions. However, as with most kernel methods, its implementation requires a heavy computational load, reaching up to cubic complexity in the number of data points. This l…

The approach exploits the diffusion strategy from distributed learning in the one bit compressed sensing framework. To estimate a common sparse vector cooperatively from only the sign of measur…

Spectral methods that are based on eigenvectors and eigenvalues of discrete graph Laplacians, such as Diffusion Maps and Laplacian Eigenmaps are often used for manifold learning and non-linear dimensionality reduction. It was previously shown by Belkin and Niyogi \cite{belkin_niyogi:2007} that the eigenvectors and eige…
Diffusion maps are a nonlinear manifold learning technique based on harmonic analysis of a diffusion process over the data. Out-of-sample extensions with computational complexity O(N), where N is the number of points comprising the manifold, frustrate applications to online learning applications requiring…
We introduce, test and discuss a method for classifying and clustering data modeled as directed graphs. The idea is to start diffusion processes from any subset of a data collection, generating corresponding distributions for reaching points in the network. These distributions take the form of high-dimensional numerica…
High order discretization schemes of SDEs by using free Lie algebra valued random variables are introduced by Kusuoka, Lyons-Victoir, Ninomiya-Victoir and Ninomiya-Ninomiya. These schemes are called KLNV methods. They involve solving the flows of vector fields associated with SDEs and it is usually done by numerical me…
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) produces data about activity inside the brain, from which spatial maps can be extracted by independent component analysis (ICA). In datasets, there are n spatial maps that contain p voxels. The number of voxels is very high compared to the number of analyzed spatial maps. Cl…
Let x denote a diffusion process defined on a closed compact manifold. In an earlier article, the author introduced a new approach to constructing admissible vector fields on the associated space of paths, under the assumption of ellipticity of x. In this article, this method is extended to yield similar results fo…
Distributed adaptive networks achieve better estimation performance by exploiting temporal and as well spatial diversity while consuming few resources. Recent works have studied the single task distributed estimation problem, in which the nodes estimate a single optimum parameter vector collaboratively. However, there …
Complex biological systems have been successfully modeled by biochemical and genetic interaction networks, typically gathered from high-throughput (HTP) data.
