‘All My Time Is Devoted to My Dissertation
Ilya Venediktov graduated from the Master’s programme at the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics through the combined Master’s–PhD track and is currently studying at the HSE Doctoral School of Engineering Sciences. At present, he is undertaking a long-term research internship at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, where he is preparing his dissertation. In this interview, he explains how an internship differs from an academic mobility programme, discusses his research topic, and describes the daily life of a Russian doctoral student in China.

Alignment of Vector Fields on Manifolds via Contraction Mappings

Uchenye Zapiski Kazanskogo Universiteta. Seriya Fiziko-Matematicheskie Nauki. 2018. Vol. 160. No. 2. P. 300–308.
Kachan O., Yanovich Y., Abramov E.

According to the manifold hypothesis, high-dimensional data can be viewed and meaning- fully represented as a lower-dimensional manifold embedded in a higher dimensional feature space. Manifold learning is a part of machine learning where an intrinsic data representation is uncovered based on the manifold hypothesis.

Many manifold learning algorithms were developed. The one called Grassmann&Stiefel eigenmaps (GSE) has been considered in the paper. One of the GSE subproblems is tangent space alignment. The original solution to this problem has been formulated as a generalized eigenvalue problem. In this formulation, it is plagued with numerical instability, resulting in suboptimal solutions to the subproblem and manifold reconstruction problem in general.

We have proposed an iterative algorithm to directly solve the tangent spaces alignment problem. As a result, we have obtained a significant gain in algorithm efficiency and time complexity. We have compared the performance of our method on various model data sets to show that our solution is on par with the approach to vector fields alignment formulated as an optimization on the Stiefel group.

Chikake T. M., Goldengorin B. I., Pardalos P. M., Computer Optics 2025 Vol. 49 No. 6 P. 1191–1201
We present a general-purpose, training-free framework for dimensionality reduction and clustering based on per–sample pseudo–Boolean polynomials (PBP). The method constructs compact, interpreTab. features without model fitting and is evaluated under a standardized protocol that compares PBP to PCA, t-SNE, and UMAP using identical inputs and metrics: clustering alignment (V-measure, Adjusted Rand Index), cluster geometry (Silhouette coefficient, ...

Reconstruction of manifold embeddings into Euclidean spaces via intrinsic distances
Nikita Puchkin, Vladimir Spokoiny, Eugene Stepanov et al., ESAIM - Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations 2024 Vol. 30 Article 3
We consider the problem of reconstructing an embedding of a compact connected Riemannian manifold in a Euclidean space up to an almost isometry, given the information on intrinsic distances between points from its “sufficiently large” subset. This is one of the classical manifold learning problems. It happens that the most popular methods to deal with ...

Structure-adaptive Manifold Estimation
Puchkin N., Spokoiny V., Journal of Machine Learning Research 2022 Vol. 23 No. 40 P. 1–62
We consider a problem of manifold estimation from noisy observations. Many manifold learning procedures locally approximate a manifold by a weighted average over a small neighborhood. However, in the presence of large noise, the assigned weights become so corrupted that the averaged estimate shows very poor performance. We suggest a structure-adaptive procedure, which simultaneously reconstructs ...

Dimensionality reduction problem is stated as finding a mapping f:X ∈ R m → Z ∈ R n , where ≪ m while preserving some relevant properties of the data. We formulate topology-preserving dimensionality reduction as finding the optimal orthogonal projection to the lower-dimensional subspace which minimizes discrepancy between persistent diagrams of the original data and the projection. This ...

We consider a guaranteed deterministic approach to discrete-time super-replication for guaranteed coverage of contingent claims on options for all possible asset-price scenarios. Price increases during a period are assumed to be contained in a priori specified compacta dependent on price history. A game problem is stated and reduced to the solution of the corresponding Bellman–Isaacs ...

User-controllable Multi-texture Synthesis with Generative Adversarial Networks

We propose a novel multi-texture synthesis model based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) with a user-controllable mechanism. The user control ability allows to explicitly specify the texture which should be generated by the model. This property follows from using an encoder part which learns a latent representation for each texture from the dataset. To ensure ...

We consider the problem of finding a valid covariance matrix in the foreign exchange market given an initial non-PSD estimate of such a matrix. The common no-arbitrage assumption imposes additional linear constraints on such matrices, whereby inevitably making them singular. As a result, even the most advanced numerical techniques will predictably balk at a seemingly standard optimization task. The reason ...
