Product Manifold

Product manifolds, representing data as points in spaces beyond the familiar Euclidean geometry (e.g., incorporating spherical or hyperbolic components), are increasingly used in machine learning to capture complex data structures. Current research focuses on developing algorithms to learn and utilize these manifolds effectively, including adapting decision trees, graph neural networks, and generative models to non-Euclidean spaces, and analyzing the resulting manifold geometry using tools from topology and Riemannian geometry. This work aims to improve model performance in various applications, from image generation and natural language processing to biological pathway analysis, by better representing the intrinsic geometry of the data. The resulting insights into data structure and model behavior are expected to advance both theoretical understanding and practical applications of machine learning.
