Learning manifold diffusion semigroups from graph transition matrices

Xiuyuan Cheng, Nan Wu

We consider graph diffusion processes constructed from finite i.i.d. samples drawn from an unknown manifold embedded in ambient Euclidean space, where the graph affinity is defined…

Generative models for decision-making under distributional shift

Xiuyuan Cheng, Yunqin Zhu, Yao Xie

Many data-driven decision problems are formulated using a nominal distribution estimated from historical data, while performance is ultimately determined by a deployment distributi…
