How high is ‘high’? Rethinking the roles of dimensionality in topological data analysis and manifold learning

ICML 2026poster

High-dimensionality of data is often regarded as a fundamental statistical impediment in Machine Learning and AI. The purpose of this paper is to clarify, on the contrary, when and how high-dimensionality may be beneficial. In the setting of a general random function model of data we delineate betwe…

Implications of sparsity and high triangle density for graph representation learning

AISTATS 2023poster

Recent work has shown that sparse graphs containing many triangles cannot be reproduced using a finite-dimensional representation of the nodes, in which link probabilities are inner products. Here, we show that such graphs can be reproduced using an infinite-dimensional inner product model, where th…
