Tangent Bundle
Tangent bundles, mathematical structures associating a vector space to each point of a manifold, are increasingly used in machine learning to represent and process data with complex geometric or topological properties. Current research focuses on developing novel neural network architectures, such as bundle neural networks and tangent bundle convolutional networks, that leverage the tangent bundle framework for tasks like graph data processing, image transformation, and dimensionality reduction. These approaches aim to overcome limitations of traditional methods by incorporating geometric information, improving model expressivity, and enabling more accurate and efficient learning on non-Euclidean data. The resulting advancements have significant implications for various fields, including computer vision, graph analysis, and data visualization.
