中文简介:
数据通常以点云的形式从欧几里得空间的一个未知的压缩子集中取样。然后,几何推理的一般目标是从近似点云数据中恢复该子集的几何和拓扑特征(贝蒂数、曲率等)。近年来,对距离函数的研究似乎可以成功地解决其中的许多问题。然而,这个框架的一个主要限制是它不能很好地处理异常值和背景噪声。在本文中,我们将展示如何扩展距离函数框架来克服这个问题。用测度代替紧致子集,我们将把距离函数的概念引入概率分布。这些函数与经典的距离函数具有许多相同的性质,因此适合于推理。特别是,通过考虑这些距离函数的适当水平集,可以以一种稳健的方式将拓扑和几何特征与概率度量相关联。如果时间允许,我们还将提到该框架的其他一些潜在应用程序。
课程简介: Data often comes in the form of a point cloud sampled from an unknown compact subset of Euclidean space. The general goal of geometric inference is then to recover geometric and topological features (Betti numbers, curvatures,...) of this subset from the approximating point cloud data. In recent years, it appeared that the study of distance functions allows to address many of these questions successfully. However, one of the main limitations of this framework is that it does not cope well with outliers nor with background noise. In this talk, we will show how to extend the framework of distance functions to overcome this problem. Replacing compact subsets by measures, we will introduce a notion of distance function to a probability distribution. These functions share many properties with classical distance functions, which makes them suitable for inference purposes. In particular, by considering appropriate level sets of these distance functions, it is possible to associate in a robust way topological and geometric features to a probability measure. If time permits, we will also mention a few other potential applications of this framework.
