From low-rank retractions to dynamical low-rank approximation and back

Daniel Kressner, Axel Elie Joseph Séguin, Gianluca Ceruti

In algorithms for solving optimization problems constrained to a smooth manifold, retractions are a well-established tool to ensure that the iterates stay on the manifold. More recently, it has been demonstrated that retractions are a useful concept for ot ...

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 ...

Floyd's manifold is a conjugation space

Jérôme Scherer

E. E. Floyd showed in 1973 that there exist only two nontrivial cobor-dism classes that contain manifolds with three cells, and that they lie in dimen-sions 10 and 5. We prove that there is an action of the cyclic group C2 on the 10-dimensional Floyd manif ...

RMAML: Riemannian meta-learning with orthogonality constraints

Soumava Kumar Roy

Meta-learning is the core capability that enables intelligent systems to rapidly generalize their prior ex-perience to learn new tasks. In general, the optimization-based methods formalize the meta-learning as a bi-level optimization problem, that is a nes ...

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 ...

A geometric optimal control approach for imitation and generalization of manipulation skills

Sylvain Calinon, Amirreza Razmjoo Fard, Jie Zhao

Daily manipulation tasks are characterized by regular features associated with the task structure, which can be described by multiple geometric primitives related to actions and object shapes. Only using Cartesian coordinate systems cannot fully represent ...

Encoding quantum information onto bosonic systems is a promising route to quantum error correc-tion. In a cat code, this encoding relies on the confinement of the dynamics of the system onto the two-dimensional manifold spanned by Schrodinger cats of oppos ...

Continuous-variable neural network quantum states and the quantum rotor model

Giuseppe Carleo

We initiate the study of neural network quantum state algorithms for analyzing continuous-variable quantum systems in which the quantum degrees of freedom correspond to coordinates on a smooth manifold. A simple family of continuous-variable trial wavefunc ...

Continuation Methods For Riemannian Optimization

Daniel Kressner, Axel Elie Joseph Séguin

Numerical continuation in the context of optimization can be used to mitigate convergence issues due to a poor initial guess. In this work, we extend this idea to Riemannian optimization problems, that is, the minimization of a target function on a Riemann ...
