Unsupervised Co-Learning on -Manifolds Across Irreducible Representations

Yifeng Fan, Tingran Gao, Zhizhen Zhao

We introduce a novel co-learning paradigm for manifolds naturally equipped with a group action, motivated by recent developments on learning a manifold from attached fibre bundle s…

Representation Theoretic Patterns in Multi-Frequency Class Averaging for Three-Dimensional Cryo-Electron Microscopy

Yifeng Fan, Tingran Gao, Zhizhen Zhao

We develop in this paper a novel intrinsic classification algorithm -- multi-frequency class averaging (MFCA) -- for classifying noisy projection images obtained from three-dimensi…

SelectNet: Learning to Sample from the Wild for Imbalanced Data Training

Yunru Liu, Tingran Gao, Haizhao Yang

Supervised learning from training data with imbalanced class sizes, a commonly encountered scenario in real applications such as anomaly/fraud detection, has long been considered a…

Uniform-in-Time Weak Error Analysis for Stochastic Gradient Descent Algorithms via Diffusion Approximation

Yuanyuan Feng, Tingran Gao, Lei Li +2

Diffusion approximation provides weak approximation for stochastic gradient descent algorithms in a finite time horizon. In this paper, we introduce new tools motivated by the back…

Multi-Frequency Phase Synchronization

Tingran Gao, Zhizhen Zhao

We propose a novel formulation for phase synchronization -- the statistical problem of jointly estimating alignment angles from noisy pairwise comparisons -- as a nonconvex optimiz…

Semi-Riemannian Manifold Optimization

Tingran Gao, Lek-Heng Lim, Ke Ye

We introduce in this paper a manifold optimization framework that utilizes semi-Riemannian structures on the underlying smooth manifolds. Unlike in Riemannian geometry, where each…

Gaussian Process Landmarking for Three-Dimensional Geometric Morphometrics

Tingran Gao, Shahar Z. Kovalsky, Doug M. Boyer +1

We demonstrate applications of the Gaussian process-based landmarking algorithm proposed in [T. Gao, S.Z. Kovalsky, and I. Daubechies, SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science (…

Curvature of Hypergraphs via Multi-Marginal Optimal Transport

Shahab Asoodeh, Tingran Gao, James Evans

We introduce a novel definition of curvature for hypergraphs, a natural generalization of graphs, by introducing a multi-marginal optimal transport problem for a naturally defined…

Gaussian Process Landmarking on Manifolds

Tingran Gao, Shahar Z. Kovalsky, Ingrid Daubechies

As a means of improving analysis of biological shapes, we propose an algorithm for sampling a Riemannian manifold by sequentially selecting points with maximum uncertainty under a…

The Geometry of Synchronization Problems and Learning Group Actions

Tingran Gao, Jacek Brodzki, Sayan Mukherjee

We develop a geometric framework that characterizes the synchronization problem --- the problem of consistently registering or aligning a collection of objects. The theory we formu…

A Tale of Two Bases: Local-Nonlocal Regularization on Image Patches with Convolution Framelets

Rujie Yin, Tingran Gao, Yue M. Lu +1

We propose an image representation scheme combining the local and nonlocal characterization of patches in an image. Our representation scheme can be shown to be equivalent to a tig…

The Diffusion Geometry of Fibre Bundles: Horizontal Diffusion Maps

Tingran Gao

Kernel-based non-linear dimensionality reduction methods, such as Local Linear Embedding (LLE) and Laplacian Eigenmaps, rely heavily upon pairwise distances or similarity scores, w…

Hypoelliptic Diffusion Maps I: Tangent Bundles

Tingran Gao

We introduce the concept of Hypoelliptic Diffusion Maps (HDM), a framework generalizing Diffusion Maps in the context of manifold learning and dimensionality reduction. Standard no…
