• Abstract: The foundational premise of generative AI for images is the assumption that images are inherently low-dimensional objects embedded within a high-dimensional space. Additionally, it is often implicitly assumed that thematic image datasets form smooth or piecewise smooth manifolds. Common approaches overlook the geometric structure and focus solely on probabilistic methods, approximating the probability distribution through universal approximation techniques such as the kernel method. In some generative models, the low dimensional nature of the data manifest itself by the introduction of a lower dimensional latent space. Yet, the probability distribution in the latent or the manifold coordinate space is considered uninteresting and is predefined or considered uniform. This study unifies the geometric and probabilistic perspectives by providing a geometric framework and a kernel-based probabilistic method simultaneously. The resulting framework demystifies diffusion models by interpreting them as a projection mechanism onto the manifold of ``good images''. This interpretation leads to the construction of a new deterministic model, the Manifold-Probabilistic Projection Model (MPPM), which operates in both the representation (pixel) space and the latent space. We demonstrate that the Latent MPPM (LMPPM) outperforms the Latent Diffusion Model (LDM) across various datasets, achieving superior results in terms of image restoration and generation.

  Generative models have shown great promise in generating 3D geometric systems. Existing approaches only operate on static structures, neglecting the fact that physical systems are always dynamic in nature. We propose geometric trajectory diffusion models (GeoTDM), the first diffusion model for modeling the temporal distribution of 3D geometric trajectories.

  It is common to say that images lie on a lower-dimensional manifold in the high-dimensional space. Images are unevenly distributed on the manifold, and our task is to devise ways to model this distribution as a probability distribution. We show how semantic interpretations are used to describe points on the manifold.

  Deep generative models have demonstrated successful applications in learning non-linear data distributions through a number of latent variables. The nonlinearity of the generator implies that the latent space shows an unsatisfactory projection of the data space, which results in poor representation learning. We show that geodesics and accurate computation can substantially improve the performance of deep generative models.

• Graph Embedding via High Dimensional Model Representation for Hyperspectral Images [9.228929858529678]
  Learning the manifold structure of remote sensing images is of paramount relevance for modeling and understanding processes. Manor learning methods have shown excellent performance to deal with hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis. A common assumption to deal with the problem is that the transformation between the high-dimensional input space and the (typically low) latent space is linear. The proposed method is compared to manifold learning methods along with its linear counterparts and achieves promising performance in terms of classification accuracy of a representative set of hyperspectral images.

  Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have emerged as a powerful unsupervised method to model the statistical patterns of real-world data sets. These networks are trained to map random inputs in their latent space to new samples representative of the learned data. The structure of the latent space is hard to intuit due to its high dimensionality and the non-linearity of the generator.
