Topological Obstructions and How to A void Them

Neural Information Processing Systems

In this paper, we theoretically and empirically characterize obstructions to training encoders with geometric latent spaces. We show that local optima can arise due to singularities (e.g.

In each hierarchy, the number of neighbors for the stochastic dilatedk-NNs, denoted byk, is sampled from the following three different uniform distributions:U(32,96),U(16,48),andU(8,24). Meanwhile,thenumberofedgesinthe graph, ˆk, is given by sampling fromU(8,24),U(4,12), andU(2,8). Thedilationrateemployed in the first descriptor extraction stage is sampled fromU(2,4). Figure 1 visualizes the local axes constructed in the descriptor extraction step. The figures on the left present the original point clouds and the right ones illustrate the local reference frames for the downsampled points.
