New research questions flat minima, proposes topology-faithful dimensionality reduction

By PulseAugur Editorial · [5 sources] ·

Researchers have developed DiRe-RAPIDS, a new dimensionality reduction technique that better preserves the global topology of high-dimensional data compared to existing methods like UMAP and t-SNE. DiRe-RAPIDS was tuned against a novel benchmark designed to evaluate topology faithfulness on noisy manifolds. On a large dataset of arXiv paper embeddings, DiRe-RAPIDS maintained significantly more topological structure than UMAP at a comparable speed. Separately, a new framework has been introduced to quantitatively and visually analyze the local neighborhood instability in parametric projection methods, demonstrating its effectiveness on UMAP and t-SNE based neural projectors.

    Not All Symbols Are Equal: Importance-Aware Constellation Design for Semantic Communication

    Semantic communication systems for goal-oriented transmission must protect task-relevant information not only through source compression but also via physical layer mapping. Existing approaches decouple constellation design and semantic encoding, exposing critical symbols to chan…

    Are Flat Minima an Illusion?

    arXiv:2605.05209v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural networks that land in flat regions of the loss landscape tend to generalise better than those in sharp regions. Sharpness-Aware Minimisation exploits this to improve generalisation. But function-preserving reparameterisation …

    DiRe-RAPIDS: Topology-faithful dimensionality reduction at scale

    arXiv:2604.25209v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dimensionality reduction methods such as UMAP and t-SNE are central tools for visualising high-dimensional data, but their local-neighborhood objectives can preserve sampling noise while distorting global topology. We show that stan…

    Local Neighborhood Instability in Parametric Projections: Quantitative and Visual Analysis

    Parametric projections let analysts embed new points in real time, but input variations from measurement noise or data drift can produce unpredictable shifts in the 2D layout. Whether and where a projection is locally stable remains largely unexamined. In this paper, we present a…
