Follow the Energy, Find the Path: Riemannian Metrics from Energy-Based Models

Louis Béthune, David Vigouroux, Yilun Du +3

What is the shortest path between two data points lying in a high-dimensional space? While the answer is trivial in Euclidean geometry, it becomes significantly more complex when t…

Deep Sturm--Liouville: From Sample-Based to 1D Regularization with Learnable Orthogonal Basis Functions

David Vigouroux, Joseba Dalmau, Louis Béthune +1

Although Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have achieved remarkable success across various tasks, they still suffer from limited generalization. We hypothesize that this limitation…
