Probabilistic learning on manifolds
Abstract
This paper presents novel mathematical results in support of the probabilistic learning on manifolds (PLoM) recently introduced by the authors. An initial dataset, constituted of a small number of points given in an Euclidean space, is given. The points are independent realizations of a vector-valued random variable for which its non-Gaussian probability measure is unknown but is, a priori, concentrated in an unknown subset of the Euclidean space. A learned dataset, constituted of additional realizations, is constructed. A transport of the probability measure estimated with the initial dataset is done through a linear transformation constructed using a reduced-order diffusion-maps basis. It is proven that this transported measure is a marginal distribution of the invariant measure of a reduced-order Itô stochastic differential equation. The concentration of the probability measure is preserved. This property is shown by analyzing a distance between the random matrix constructed with the PLoM and the matrix representing the initial dataset, as a function of the dimension of the basis. It is further proven that this distance has a minimum for a dimension of the reduced-order diffusion-maps basis that is strictly smaller than the number of points in the initial dataset.
