New metrics solve machine learning limitations.

We study consistency of learning algorithms for a multi-class performance metric that is a non-decomposable function of the confusion matrix of a classifier and cannot be expressed as a sum of losses on individual data points; examples of such performance metrics include the macro F-measure popular in information retri…

We provide a general theoretical analysis of expected out-of-sample utility, also referred to as decision-theoretic classification, for non-decomposable binary classification metrics such as F-measure and Jaccard coefficient. Our key result is that the expected out-of-sample utility for many performance metrics is prov…

We generalize for pseudo-Riemannian metrics a classical result of Gallot and Tanno and use it to reprove a recent result of Alekseevsky, Cortes, Galaev and Leistner that decomposable cones over complete closed pseudo-Riemannian manifolds do not exist.

We prove that any diffeomorphism of the sphere S^n to itself can be decomposed into bi-Lipschitz mappings of small isometric distortion and which move points a small amount in the spherical metric.

Characterizes symmetric Killing tensors on specific Lie groups.

We show that, for Finsler spaces with cubic metric, Landsberg spaces are Berwaldian. Also, for decomposable metrics, we determine specific conditions for a space with cubic metric to be of Berwald type, thus refining the result in [6].

We define cusp-decomposable manifolds and prove smooth rigidity within this class of manifolds. These manifolds generally do not admit a nonpositively curved metric but can be decomposed into pieces that are diffeomorphic to finite volume, locally symmetric, negatively curved manifolds with cusps. We prove that the gro…

We prove that every acyclic normal one-dimensional real Ambrosio-Kirchheim current in a Polish (i.e. complete separable metric) space can be decomposed in curves, thus generalizing the analogous classical result proven by S. Smirnov in Euclidean space setting. The same assertion is true for every complete metric space …

The paper decomposes metrics on manifolds with boundaries.

The space of the torsion (0,3)-tensors of the linear connections on almost contact manifolds with B-metric is decomposed in 15 orthogonal and invariant subspaces with respect to the action of the structure group. Three known connections, preserving the structure, are characterized regarding this classification.

We introduce the notion of contact pair structure and the corresponding associated metrics, in the same spirit of the geometry of almost contact structures. We prove that, with respect to these metrics, the integral curves of the Reeb vector fields are geodesics and that the leaves of the Reeb action are totally geodes…

We decompose the twisted index obstruction $θ(M)$ against positive scalar curvature metrics for oriented manifolds with spin universal cover into a pairing of a twisted $K$-homology with a twisted $K$-theory class and prove that $θ(M)$ does not vanish if $M$ is an orientable enlargeable manifold with spin universal cov…

We study the existence of invariant Einstein metrics on real flag manifolds associated to simple and non-compact split real forms of complex classical Lie algebras whose isotropy representation decomposes into two or three irreducible sub-representations. In this situation, one can have equivalent sub-modules, leading …

The tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold (M,g) with non-degenerated g-natural metric G that admits a Killing vector field is investigated. Using Taylor's formula (TM,G) is decomposed into four classes that are investigated separately. The equivalence of the existence of Killing vector field on M and TM is proved. Ke…

We construct a partial compactification of the moduli space, M_k, of SU(2) magnetic monopoles on R^3, wherein monopoles of charge k decompose into widely separated 'monopole clusters' of lower charge going off to infinity at comparable rates. The hyperKahler metric on M_k has a complete asymptotic expansion up to the b…

Let (M, g, omega) be a compact, almost-Kaehler Einstein 4-manifold of negative star-scalar curvature. Then (M, omega) is a MINIMAL symplectic 4-manifold of general type. In particular, M cannot be differentiably decomposed as a connected sum N # (-CP_2).

We consider the Ricci flow equation for invariant metrics on compact and connected homogeneous spaces whose isotropy representation decomposes into two irreducible inequivalent summands. By studying the corresponding dynamical system, we completely describe the behaviour of the homogeneous Ricci flow on this kind of sp…

We consider the problem of recommending relevant labels (items) for a given data point (user). In particular, we are interested in the practically important setting where the evaluation is with respect to non-decomposable (over labels) performance metrics like the $F_1$ measure, and the training data has missing labels…

The aim of this paper is to introduce the sublinear Higson corona and show that the sublinear Higson corona of Euclidean cone of P and X is decomposed into the product of P and that of X. Here P is a compact metric space and X is unbounded proper metric space. For example, the sublinear Higson corona of n-dimensional E…

We propose a framework for constructing and analyzing multiclass and multioutput classification metrics, i.e., involving multiple, possibly correlated multiclass labels. Our analysis reveals novel insights on the geometry of feasible confusion tensors -- including necessary and sufficient conditions for the equivalence…

Let $P(E)$ be the projectivization of a holomorphic vector bundle $E$ over a compact complex curve $C$. We characterize the existence of an extremal Kähler metric on the ruled manifold $P(E)$ in terms of relative K-polystability and the fact that $E$ decomposes as a direct sum of stable bundles.

The paper examines torsions in Minkowskian product of Finsler metrics.

Latent tree models are graphical models defined on trees, in which only a subset of variables is observed. They were first discussed by Judea Pearl as tree-decomposable distributions to generalise star-decomposable distributions such as the latent class model. Latent tree models, or their submodels, are widely used in:…

In this thesis we study the relationship between the existence of canonical metrics on a complex manifold and stability in the sense of geometric invariant theory. We introduce a modification of K-stability of a polarised variety which we conjecture to be equivalent to the existence of an extremal metric in the polaris…

Chia and Nakano (2009) introduced the concept of M-decomposability of probability densities in one-dimension. In this paper, we generalize M-decomposability to any dimension. We prove that all elliptical unimodal densities are M-undecomposable. We also derive an inequality to show that it is better to represent an M-de…

For a product manifold endowed with a polar metric, our …
