- Bures-Wasserstein minimizing geodesics between covariance matrices of various ranks(arXiv)
Authors: Yann Thanwerdas, Xavier Pennec
Summary: The set of covariance matrices geared up with the Bures-Wasserstein distance is the orbit house of the sleek, correct and isometric motion of the orthogonal group on the Euclidean house of sq. matrices. This development induces a pure orbit stratification on covariance matrices, which is precisely the stratification by the rank. Thus, the strata are the manifolds of symmetric constructive semi-definite (PSD) matrices of mounted rank endowed with the Bures-Wasserstein Riemannian metric. On this work, we research the geodesics of the Bures-Wasserstein distance. Firstly, we full the literature on geodesics in every stratum by clarifying the set of preimages of the exponential map and by specifying the injection area. We additionally give express formulae of the horizontal elevate, the exponential map and the Riemannian logarithms that have been saved implicit in earlier works. Secondly, we give the expression of all of the minimizing geodesic segments becoming a member of two covariance matrices of any rank. Extra exactly, we present that the set of all minimizing geodesics between two covariance matrices Σ and Λ is parametrized by the closed unit ball of R(okay−r)×(l−r) for the spectral norm, the place okay,l,r are the respective ranks of Σ, Λ, ΣΛ. Specifically, the minimizing geodesic is exclusive if and provided that r=min(okay,l). In any other case, there are infinitely many.

Authors: Miran Jeong, Jinmi Hwang, Sejong Kim
Summary: A brand new quantum divergence induced from the α−z Renyi relative entropy, referred to as the α−z Bures-Wasserstein quantum divergence, has been lately launched. We examine on this paper properties of the appropriate imply, which is a novel minimizer of the weighted sum of α−z Bures-Wasserstein quantum divergences to every factors. Many attention-grabbing operator inequalities of the appropriate imply with the matrix energy imply together with the Cartan imply are offered. Furthermore, we confirm the hint inequality with the Wasserstein imply and supply bounds for the Hadamard product of two proper means.
3. Multiplier bootstrap for Bures-Wasserstein barycenters(arXiv)
Authors: Alexey Kroshnin, Vladimir Spokoiny, Alexandra Suvorikova
Summary: Bures-Wasserstein barycenter is a well-liked and promising software in evaluation of complicated information like graphs, pictures and so on. In lots of functions the enter information are random with an unknown distribution, and uncertainty quantification turns into a vital challenge. This paper affords an strategy primarily based on multiplier bootstrap to quantify the error of approximating the true Bures — Wasserstein barycenter Q∗ by its empirical counterpart Qn. The primary outcomes state the bootstrap validity underneath common assumptions on the information producing distribution P and specifies the approximation charges for the case of sub-exponential P. The efficiency of the strategy is illustrated on artificial information generated from the weighted stochastic block mannequin.

Authors: Andi Han, Bamdev Mishra, Pratik Jawanpuria, Junbin Gao
Summary: Studying with symmetric constructive particular (SPD) matrices has many functions in machine studying. Consequently, understanding the Riemannian geometry of SPD matrices has attracted a lot consideration currently. A specific Riemannian geometry of curiosity is the lately proposed Bures-Wasserstein (BW) geometry which builds on the Wasserstein distance between the Gaussian densities. On this paper, we suggest a novel generalization of the BW geometry, which we name the GBW geometry. The proposed generalization is parameterized by a symmetric constructive particular matrix M such that when M=I, we get better the BW geometry. We offer a rigorous remedy to check numerous differential geometric notions on the proposed novel generalized geometry which makes it amenable to varied machine studying functions. We additionally current experiments that illustrate the efficacy of the proposed GBW geometry over the BW geometry. △ Much less
5. Averaging on the Bures-Wasserstein manifold: dimension-free convergence of gradient descent(arXiv)
Authors: Jason M. Altschuler, Sinho Chewi, Patrik Gerber, Austin J. Stromme
Summary: We research first-order optimization algorithms for computing the barycenter of Gaussian distributions with respect to the optimum transport metric. Though the target is geodesically non-convex, Riemannian GD empirically converges quickly, actually quicker than off-the-shelf strategies corresponding to Euclidean GD and SDP solvers. This stands in stark distinction to the best-known theoretical outcomes for Riemannian GD, which rely exponentially on the dimension. On this work, we show new geodesic convexity outcomes which give stronger management of the iterates, yielding a dimension-free convergence price. Our methods additionally allow the evaluation of two associated notions of averaging, the entropically-regularized barycenter and the geometric median, offering the primary convergence ensures for Riemannian GD for these issues
