New method uses heat-kernel entropy for manifold analysis

Researchers have developed a new method called heat-kernel entropy profiles to analyze weighted empirical measures on compact manifolds. This technique diffuses weighted atoms using intrinsic heat flow to track nonuniformity across different scales. The resulting geometric effective sample size discounts nearby or duplicate particles while remaining consistent with standard effective sample size for well-separated particles. Experiments on spheres demonstrate that this profile can reveal complex particle structures that are missed by traditional weight-only summaries. AI
