• Abstract: Many modern datasets, from areas such as neuroimaging and geostatistics, come in the form of a random sample of tensor-valued data which can be understood as noisy observations of a smooth multidimensional random function. Most of the traditional techniques from functional data analysis are plagued by the curse of dimensionality and quickly become intractable as the dimension of the domain increases. In this paper, we propose a framework for learning continuous representations from a sample of multidimensional functional data that is immune to several manifestations of the curse. These representations are constructed using a set of separable basis functions that are defined to be optimally adapted to the data. We show that the resulting estimation problem can be solved efficiently by the tensor decomposition of a carefully defined reduction transformation of the observed data. Roughness-based regularization is incorporated using a class of differential operator-based penalties. Relevant theoretical properties are also established. The advantages of our method over competing methods are demonstrated in a simulation study. We conclude with a real data application in neuroimaging.

  Real-world datasets are subject to noisy observations and sampling, so that distilling information about the underlying manifold is a major challenge. We propose a method for manifold learning that utilises a symmetric version of optimal transport with a quadratic regularisation. We prove that the resulting kernel is consistent with a Laplace-type operator in the continuous limit, establish robustness to heteroskedastic noise and exhibit these results in simulations.

We show that the corresponding discretized algorithm generates accurate samples at a fixed cost independent of the data resolution.

  In this paper, we show how bringing recent results on equivariant representation learning instantiated on structured spaces together with simple use of classical results on causal inference provides an effective practical solution. We demonstrate how our model allows dealing with more than one nuisance variable under some assumptions and can enable analysis of pooled scientific datasets in scenarios that would otherwise entail removing a large portion of the samples.

Our approach compares favorably against other dimensionality reduction methods, and against a state-of-the-art method of bilinear regression for predicting gene-disease associations.
