Deep neural networks have reshaped modern machine learning by learning powerful latent representations that often align with the manifold hypothesis: high-dimensional data lie on lower-dimensional manifolds. In this paper, we establish a connection between manifold learning and computational algebra…
We propose the pivoting meta algorithm (PM) to enhance optimization algorithms that generate iterates as convex combinations of vertices of a feasible region $C\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, including Frank-Wolfe (FW) variants. PM guarantees that the active set (the set of vertices in the convex combinati…
The vanishing ideal of a set of points $X = \{\mathbf{x}_1, \ldots, \mathbf{x}_m\}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ is the set of polynomials that evaluate to $0$ over all points $\mathbf{x} \in X$ and admits an efficient representation by a finite subset of generators. In practice, to accommodate noise in th…
