Spectral Method is a commonly used scheme to cluster data points lying close to Union of Subspaces by first constructing a Random Geometry Graph, called Subspace Clustering. This paper establishes a theory to analyze this method. Based on this theory, we demonstrate the efficiency of Subspace Clustering in fairly broad…
We consider the problem of efficient randomized dimensionality reduction with norm-preservation guarantees. Specifically we prove data-dependent Johnson-Lindenstrauss-type geometry preservation guarantees for Ho's random subspace method: When data satisfy a mild regularity condition -- the extent of which can be estima…
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.
We study Gauss curvature for random Riemannian metrics on a compact surface, lying in a fixed conformal class; our questions are motivated by comparison geometry. Next, analogous questions are considered for the scalar curvature in dimension n>2, and for the Q-curvature of random Riemannian metrics.
We study random 2-dimensional complexes in the Linial - Meshulam model and find torsion in their fundamental groups at various regimes. We find a simple algorithmically testable criterion for a subcomplex of a random 2-complex to be aspherical; this implies that any aspherical subcomplex of a random 2-complex satisfies…
We show that gamma distributions provide models for departures from randomness since every neighbourhood of an exponential distribution contains a neighbourhood of gamma distributions, using an information theoretic metric topology. We derive also the information geometry of the 3-manifold of McKay bivariate gamma dist…
Interesting data often concentrate on low dimensional smooth manifolds inside a high dimensional ambient space. Random projections are a simple, powerful tool for dimensionality reduction of such data. Previous works have studied bounds on how many projections are needed to accurately preserve the geometry of these man…
This is supplementary material for the main Geodesics article by the authors. In Appendix A, we present some general results on the construction of Gaussian random fields. In Appendix B, we restate our Shape Theorem, specialized to the setting of this article. In Appendix C, we state some straightforward consequences o…
In this paper a new connection between the discrete conformal geometry problem of disk pattern construction and the continuous conformal geometry problem of metric uniformization is presented. In a nutshell, we discuss how to construct disk patterns by optimizing an objective function, which turns out to be intimately …

problem Understanding the geometry and combinatorial properties of random multicurves and square-tiled surfaces on surfaces of large genus.
method Combination of combinatorial and geometric analysis, including large genus asymptotic analysis of moduli space volumes and intersection numbers.
result Random multicurves and square-tiled surfaces have well-approximated properties by random permutations, with specific expected values.
We study random Morse functions on a Riemann manifold (Mm,g) defined as a random Gaussian weighted superpositions of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian of the metric g. The randomness is determined by a fixed Schwartz function w and a small parameter ε>0. We first prove that as ε→0 the ex…
A random forest is a popular tool for estimating probabilities in machine learning classification tasks. However, the means by which this is accomplished is unprincipled: one simply counts the fraction of trees in a forest that vote for a certain class. In this paper, we forge a connection between random forests and ke…
A simple geometrical proof shows that any target function can be found in a random network's neighborhood.
problem Finding any target function in a random network's neighborhood.
method Geometrical proof using a simple model of a high-dimensional sphere projected onto a low-dimensional subspace.
result High-dimensional geometry ensures that a uniform distribution over a sphere reduces to a Gaussian distribution with negligible covariances, enabling the presence of any target function in a random network's neighborhood.
We relate some basic constructions of stochastic analysis to differential geometry, via random walk approximations. We consider walks on both Riemannian and sub-Riemannian manifolds in which the steps consist of travel along either geodesics or integral curves associated to orthonormal frames, and we give particular at…
