Differentially Private Manifold Denoising

Jiaqi Wu, Yiqing Sun, Zhigang Yao

We introduce a differentially private manifold denoising framework that allows users to exploit sensitive reference datasets to correct noisy, non-private query points without comp…

Ridge Estimation with Nonlinear Transformations

Zheng Zhai, Hengchao Chen, Zhigang Yao

Ridge estimation is an important manifold learning technique. The goal of this paper is to examine the effects of nonlinear transformations on the ridge sets. The main result prove…

Manifold Fitting in Ambient Space

Zhigang Yao, Bingjie Li, Wee Chin Tan

Modern sample points in many applications no longer comprise real vectors in a real vector space but sample points of much more complex structures, which may be represented as poin…

Manifold Fitting under Unbounded Noise

Zhigang Yao, Yuqing Xia

There has been an emerging trend in non-Euclidean statistical analysis of aiming to recover a low dimensional structure, namely a manifold, underlying the high dimensional data. Re…

Random Fixed Boundary Flows

Zhigang Yao, Yuqing Xia, Zengyan Fan

We consider fixed boundary flow with canonical interpretability as principal components extended on non-linear Riemannian manifolds. We aim to find a flow with fixed starting and e…

Optimal classification in sparse Gaussian graphic model

Yingying Fan, Jiashun Jin, Zhigang Yao

Consider a two-class classification problem where the number of features is much larger than the sample size. The features are masked by Gaussian noise with mean zero and covarianc…
