Adaptive geometric multiscale approximations for intrinsically low-dimensional data

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider the problem of efficiently approximating and encoding high-dimensional data sampled from a probability distribution ho in mathbbRD, that is nearly supported on a d-dimensional set mathcalM - for example supported on a d-dimensional Riemannian manifold. Geometric Multi-Resolution Analysis (GMRA) provides a robust and computationally efficient procedure to construct low-dimensional geometric approximations of mathcalM at varying resolutions. We introduce a thresholding algorithm on the geometric wavelet coefficients, leading to what we call adaptive GMRA approximations. We show that these data-driven, empirical approximations perform well, when the threshold is chosen as a suitable universal function of the number of samples n, on a wide variety of measures ho, that are allowed to exhibit different regularity at different scales and locations, thereby efficiently encoding data from more complex measures than those supported on manifolds. These approximations yield a data-driven dictionary, together with a fast transform mapping data to coefficients, and an inverse of such a map. The algorithms for both the dictionary construction and the transforms have complexity Cnlogn with the constant linear in D and exponential in d. Our work therefore establishes adaptive GMRA as a fast dictionary learning algorithm with approximation guarantees. We include several numerical experiments on both synthetic and real data, confirming our theoretical results and demonstrating the effectiveness of adaptive GMRA.
