Researchers use information geometry to analyze and improve DRWs for node classification.
problem Lack of theoretical foundations for Discriminative Random Walks (DRWs).
method Revisit DRWs through information geometry, treating hitting-time laws as a statistical manifold. Derived closed-form expressions and introduced sensitivity scores.
result Introduced a sensitivity score that bounds maximal first-order change in DRW betweenness under unit Fisher perturbations.
In this paper we establish a gap theorem for the complex geometry of smoothly bounded convex domains which informally says that if the complex geometry near the boundary is close to the complex geometry of the unit ball, then the domain must be strongly pseudoconvex. One consequence of our general result is the followi…
Enhanced 3D shape analysis using information geometry.
problem Challenges in comparing 3D point clouds due to their unstructured nature and complex geometry.
method Information geometric framework for 3D point cloud shape analysis using Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) on a statistical manifold. Proposed MSKL divergence with upper and lower bounds.
result MSKL provides stable and monotonically varying values that directly reflect geometric variation, outperforming traditional distances and existing KL approximations.
In this survey, we describe the fundamental differential-geometric structures of information manifolds, state the fundamental theorem of information geometry, and illustrate some use cases of these information manifolds in information sciences. The exposition is self-contained by concisely introducing the necessary con…
GS-B3SE improves label shift estimation by smoothing priors on a graph.
problem Label shift adaptation when source and target distributions share conditional but not marginal probabilities.
method Graph-Smoothed Bayesian Black-Box Shift Estimator (GS-B3SE) places Laplacian-Gaussian priors on log-priors and confusion-matrix columns tied by a label-similarity graph.
result GS-B3SE produces a tractable posterior with HMC or Newton-CG schemes, proving identifiability, contraction, and robustness.
We review basic notions in the field of information geometry such as Fisher metric on statistical manifold, α-connection and corresponding curvature following Amari's work . We show application of information geometry to asymptotic statistical inference.
Information geometry applies concepts in differential geometry to probability and statistics and is especially useful for parameter estimation in exponential families where parameters are known to lie on a Riemannian manifold. Connections between the geometric properties of the induced manifold and statistical properti…
We consider globally hyperbolic flat spacetimes in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions, in which a uniform light signal is emitted on the r-level surface of the cosmological time for r→0. We show that the frequency of this signal, as perceived by a fixed observer, is a well-defined, bounded function which is generally not co…
We study the relationship between geometry and capacity measures for deep neural networks from an invariance viewpoint. We introduce a new notion of capacity --- the Fisher-Rao norm --- that possesses desirable invariance properties and is motivated by Information Geometry. We discover an analytical characterization of…
We present a general method for deriving collapsed variational inference algo- rithms for probabilistic models in the conjugate exponential family. Our method unifies many existing approaches to collapsed variational inference. Our collapsed variational inference leads to a new lower bound on the marginal likelihood. W…
For non-compact manifolds with boundary we prove that bounded geometry defined by coordinate-free curvature bounds is equivalent to bounded geometry defined using bounds on the metric tensor in geodesic coordinates. We produce a nice atlas with subordinate partition of unity on manifolds with boundary of bounded geomet…
