Intrinsic Green's Learning: Supervised Learning on Manifolds via Inverse PDE
We introduce Intrinsic Green's Learning (IGL), a framework that models a target function on a manifold as the solution to a linear PDE whose source term is learned from data. Rather than approximating the target directly, IGL learns a source and integrates it against a Green's kernel. An encoder discovers a low-dimensional coordinate chart on the manifold where both the source and the kernel decompose as low-rank tensors, collapsing a high-dimensional integral into independent one-dimensional integrals with cost linear in the intrinsic dimension. A two-stage algorithm separates coordinate discovery from source fitting, a near-convex linear solve, preventing the dimensional collapse of joint training. Learnable gates on each coordinate automatically discover the intrinsic dimension of the manifold. We validate IGL on synthetic manifolds and on MNIST, where it simultaneously achieves near-optimal classification and automatic recovery of the intrinsic dimension.

Exploring the Intrinsic Geometry of Diffusion Models with Constrained Inverse Kinematics
Recent studies suggest that diffusion models can recover geometric structure in the data manifolds they are trained on, yet the supporting evidence has so far come mostly from natural-image data, where the underlying geo…
From the Greene--Wu Convolution to Gradient Estimation over Riemannian Manifolds
Over a complete Riemannian manifold of finite dimension, Greene and Wu introduced a convolution, known as Greene-Wu (GW) convolution. In this paper, we study properties of the GW convolution and apply it to non-Euclidean…

Deep learning has had tremendous success at learning low-dimensional representations of high-dimensional data. This success would be impossible if there was no hidden low-dimensional structure in data of interest; this e…

The identification of sources of advection-diffusion transport is based usually on solving complex ill-posed inverse models against the available state- variable data records. However, if there are several sources with d…
