New research offers certifiably correct Fréchet means for orbit spaces

A new arXiv preprint by Nathan Willey introduces methods for computing Fréchet means in orbit spaces, addressing the NP-hard nature of the problem. The research proposes spectral and semidefinite relaxations inspired by group synchronization, with pairwise alignment used to certify global optimality. The work also details a semidefinite certificate capable of extending beyond this condition and demonstrates its success in high-noise Gaussian data scenarios where alignment falters. Numerical experiments showcase the effectiveness of these techniques across various applications, including summarizing districting plan ensembles and time series clustering. AI
