Stiefel Manifold

The Stiefel manifold is a mathematical space representing the set of all orthonormal matrices, crucial for various applications requiring orthogonal constraints, such as machine learning and signal processing. Current research focuses on developing efficient optimization algorithms on this manifold, particularly exploring retraction-free methods and decentralized approaches to reduce computational costs and improve scalability for large-scale problems. These advancements are significant because they enable the application of manifold-based optimization techniques to increasingly complex datasets and distributed computing environments, improving the performance of algorithms in diverse fields like time series analysis and meta-learning.
