In this study, we prove that an intrinsic low dimensionality of covariates is the main factor that determines the performance of deep neural networks (DNNs). DNNs generally provide outstanding empirical performance. Hence, numerous studies have actively investigated the theoretical properties of DNNs to understand thei…

result Our approach achieves more sample-efficient exploration compared to strong baselines on various tasks.
The input data features set for many data driven tasks is high-dimensional while the intrinsic dimension of the data is low. Data analysis methods aim to uncover the underlying low dimensional structure imposed by the low dimensional hidden parameters by utilizing distance metrics that consider the set of attributes as…
Modern large-scale datasets are frequently said to be high-dimensional. However, their data point clouds frequently possess structures, significantly decreasing their intrinsic dimensionality (ID) due to the presence of clusters, points being located close to low-dimensional varieties or fine-grained lumping. We test a…

problem Approximating high-dimensional distributions from low-dimensional ones.
method Proved neural networks can transform low-dimensional distributions to high-dimensional ones with arbitrary closeness measured by Wasserstein distances and maximum mean discrepancy.
result Upper bounds of the approximation error are obtained in terms of the width and depth of neural network.
We consider the ability of deep neural networks to represent data that lies near a low-dimensional manifold in a high-dimensional space. We show that deep networks can efficiently extract the intrinsic, low-dimensional coordinates of such data. We first show that the first two layers of a deep network can exactly embed…
In this paper we propose and explore the k-Nearest Neighbour UCB algorithm for multi-armed bandits with covariates. We focus on a setting where the covariates are supported on a metric space of low intrinsic dimension, such as a manifold embedded within a high dimensional ambient feature space. The algorithm is concept…

result Establishes deterministic error bounds that separate target noise, representation growth, and source estimation error, yielding improved rates.
The success of modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies depends critically on the ability to learn non-linear functional dependencies from large, high dimensional data sets. Despite recent high-profile successes, empirical evidence indicates that the high predictive performance is often paired with low robustne…
New theory shows deep networks adapt to data's intrinsic dimensionality even when data isn't on a low-dimensional manifold.
problem Existing theories on deep nonparametric regression assume data lie on a low-dimensional manifold, which is often not the case in real-world applications.
method Introduces effective Minkowski dimension to characterize the intrinsic dimension of data subsets and proves sample complexity depends on this new complexity notation.
result Deep neural networks can adapt to the effective Minkowski dimension of data, circumventing the curse of dimensionality for moderate sample sizes.
We briefly recall a fundamental exterior differential system introduced by the author and then apply it to the case of three dimensions. Here we find new global tensors and intrinsic invariants of oriented Riemaniann 3-manifolds. The system leads to a remarkable Weingarten type equation for surfaces on hyperbolic 3-spa…
Data living on manifolds commonly appear in many applications. Often this results from an inherently latent low-dimensional system being observed through higher dimensional measurements. We show that under certain conditions, it is possible to construct an intrinsic and isometric data representation, which respects an …
Real world data often exhibit low-dimensional geometric structures, and can be viewed as samples near a low-dimensional manifold. This paper studies nonparametric regression of Hölder functions on low-dimensional manifolds using deep ReLU networks. Suppose n training data are sampled from a Hölder function in $\mathc…
In this paper, we build an organization of high-dimensional datasets that cannot be cleanly embedded into a low-dimensional representation due to missing entries and a subset of the features being irrelevant to modeling functions of interest. Our algorithm begins by defining coarse neighborhoods of the points and defin…
Datasets such as images, text, or movies are embedded in high-dimensional spaces. However, in important cases such as images of objects, the statistical structure in the data constrains samples to a manifold of dramatically lower dimensionality. Learning to identify and extract task-relevant variables from this embedde…
