Variational Barycentric Coordinates
We propose a variational technique to optimize for generalized barycentric coordinates that offers additional control compared to existing models. Prior work represents barycentric coordinates using meshes or closed-form formulae, in practice limiting the choice of objective function. In contrast, we directly parameterize the continuous function that maps any coordinate in a polytope's interior to its barycentric coordinates using a neural field. This formulation is enabled by our theoretical characterization of barycentric coordinates, which allows us to construct neural fields that parameterize the entire function class of valid coordinates. We demonstrate the flexibility of our model using a variety of objective functions, including multiple smoothness and deformation-aware energies; as a side contribution, we also present mathematically-justified means of measuring and minimizing objectives like total variation on discontinuous neural fields. We offer a practical acceleration strategy, present a thorough validation of our algorithm, and demonstrate several applications.

Range-Only Localization in n-Dimensional Networks With Arbitrary Anchor Placement
This paper considers node localization in static sensor networks using range-only measurements. Similar to state- of-the-art algorithms, such as ECHO and DILOC, we rely on barycentric coordinates of the nodes to transfor…
Network EmbeddingMeasure Estimation in the Barycentric Coding Model
This paper considers the problem of measure estimation under the barycentric coding model (BCM), in which an unknown measure is assumed to belong to the set of Wasserstein-2 barycenters of a finite set of known measures.…

There is a long-standing problem of repeated patterns in correspondence problems, where mismatches frequently occur because of inherent ambiguity. The unique position information associated with repeated patterns makes c…

We propose a new embedding method which is particularly well-suited for settings where the sample size greatly exceeds the ambient dimension. Our technique consists of partitioning the space into simplices and then embed…
