Geometric Learning: Leveraging differential geometry for learning and control

In this thesis, we concentrate on advancing high-level behavioral control policies for robotic systems within the framework of Dynamical Systems (DS). Throughout the course of this research, a unifying thread weaving through diverse fields emerges, and tha ...

Anomalous and Chern topological waves in hyperbolic networks

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Aleksi Antoine Bossart, Haoye Qin, Zhechen Zhang

Hyperbolic lattices are a new type of synthetic materials based on regular tessellations in non-Euclidean spaces with constant negative curvature. While so far, there has been several theoretical investigations of hyperbolic topological media, experimental ...

Cochains are all you need

Kelly Spry Maggs

In this thesis, we apply cochain complexes as an algebraic model of space in a diverse range of mathematical and scientific settings. We begin with an algebraic-discrete Morse theory model of auto-encoding cochain data, connecting the homotopy theory of d ...

Complex Representation Learning with Graph Convolutional Networks for Knowledge Graph Alignment

Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên, Thanh Trung Huynh

The task of discovering equivalent entities in knowledge graphs (KGs), so-called KG entity alignment, has drawn much attention to overcome the incompleteness problem of KGs. The majority of existing techniques learns the pointwise representations of entiti ...

A structured prediction approach for robot imitation learning

Aude Billard, Iason Batzianoulis, Anqing Duan

We propose a structured prediction approach for robot imitation learning from demonstrations. Among various tools for robot imitation learning, supervised learning has been observed to have a prominent role. Structured prediction is a form of supervised le ...

Towards Stable and Efficient Adversarial Training against $l_1$ Bounded Adversarial Attacks

Mathieu Salzmann, Sabine Süsstrunk, Chen Liu, Zhuoyi Huang, Yulun Jiang

We address the problem of stably and efficiently training a deep neural network robust to adversarial perturbations bounded by an

l_1

norm. We demonstrate that achieving robustness against

l_1

-bounded perturbations is more challenging than in the

l_2

Retraction-based numerical methods for continuation, interpolation and time integration on manifolds

Axel Elie Joseph Séguin

The goal of this thesis is the development and the analysis of numerical methods for problems where the unknown is a curve on a smooth manifold. In particular, the thesis is structured around the three following problems: homotopy continuation, curve inter ...

Hybrid Quadratic Programming - Pullback Bundle Dynamical Systems Control

Aude Billard, Bernardo Fichera

Dynamical System (DS)-based closed-loop control is a simple and effective way to generate reactive motion policies that well generalize to the robotic workspace, while retaining stability guarantees. Lately the formalism has been expanded in order to handl ...

Relative, local and global dimension in complex networks

Alexis Arnaudon

Dimension is a fundamental property of objects and the space in which they are embedded. Yet ideal notions of dimension, as in Euclidean spaces, do not always translate to physical spaces, which can be constrained by boundaries and distorted by inhomogenei ...

Localization errors of the stochastic heat equation

David Jean-Michel Candil

In this thesis, we study the stochastic heat equation (SHE) on bounded domains and on the whole Euclidean space

\R^d.

We confirm the intuition that as the bounded domain increases to the whole space, both solutions become arbitrarily close to one another ...

Fourier uniqueness and interpolation in Euclidean space

Martin Peter Stoller

We prove that every Schwartz function in Euclidean space can be completely recovered given only its restrictions and the restrictions of its Fourier transform to all origin-centered spheres whose radii are square roots of integers. In particular, the only ...

Collapse-invariant properties of spaces equipped with signals or directions

Stefania Ebli

Collapsing cell complexes was first introduced in the 1930's as a way to deform a space into a topological-equivalent subspace with a sequence of elementary moves. Recently, discrete Morse theory techniques provided an efficient way to construct deformatio ...

Reduced representations of complexes, signals, and multifiltrations

Celia Camille Hacker

The field of computational topology has developed many powerful tools to describe the shape of data, offering an alternative point of view from classical statistics. This results in a variety of complex structures that are not always directly amenable for ...

Generalised Implicit Neural Representations

Pierre Vandergheynst

We consider the problem of learning implicit neural representations (INRs) for signals on non-Euclidean domains. In the Euclidean case, INRs are trained on a discrete sampling of a signal over a regular lattice. Here, we assume that the continuous signal e ...

On Generalizations of Some Distance Based Classifiers for HDLSS Data

Soham Sarkar

In high dimension, low sample size (HDLSS) settings, classifiers based on Euclidean distances like the nearest neighbor classifier and the average distance classifier perform quite poorly if differences between locations of the underlying populations get m ...

Realizing doubles: a conjugation zoo

Jérôme Scherer

Conjugation spaces are topological spaces equipped with an involution such that their fixed points have the same mod 2 cohomology (as a graded vector space, a ring and even an unstable algebra) but with all degrees divided by two, generalizing the classica ...

Exploring the foundations of tonality: statistical cognitive modeling of modes in the history of Western classical music

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Daniel Harasim, Fabian Claude Moss

Tonality is one of the most central theoretical concepts for the analysis of Western classical music. This study presents a novel approach for the study of its historical development, exploring in particular the concept of mode. Based on a large dataset of ...

On Linear Interpolation in the Latent Space of Deep Generative Models

Quentin Christian Becker, Mike Yan Michelis

The underlying geometrical structure of the latent space in deep generative models is in most cases not Euclidean, which may lead to biases when comparing interpolation capabilities of two models. Smoothness and plausibility of linear interpolations in lat ...

UCLID-Net: Single View Reconstruction in Object Space

Pascal Fua, Edoardo Remelli, Benoît Alain René Guillard

Most state-of-the-art deep geometric learning single-view reconstruction approaches rely on encoder-decoder architectures that output either shape parametrizations or implicit representations. However, these representations rarely preserve the Euclidean st ...
