VC Dimension of DTW-Based Classifiers

Jannis Kremer
University of Bonn

CSBD SR Top Floor (VC)
Host: Local Organisers: Nikola Sadovek, Maximilian Wiesmann, Giulio Zucal

This thesis investigates the VC dimension of classifiers defined by Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) metric balls. We analyze the geometric structure of these DTW balls and demonstrate that they can be characterized as specific types of ellipsoids. By applying classical results, such as Warren’s theorems, we derive upper bounds on the VC dimension. Furthermore, we employ techniques from discrete geometry and convex optimization to computationally explore lower bounds.

The Fast Newton Transform (FNT)

Michael Hecht
University Wrocław, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf

CSBD SR Top Floor (VC)
Host: Local Organisors: Nikola Sadovek, Maximilian Wiesmann Giulio Zucal

The FNT is a novel algorithm for multivariate polynomial interpolation with a runtime of nearly Nlog(N), where N scales only sub-exponentially with spatial dimension, surpassing the runtime of the tensorial Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). We have proven and demonstrated the optimal geometric approximation rates for a class of analytic functions—termed Bos–Levenberg–Trefethen functions—to be reached by the FNT and to be maintained for the derivatives of the interpolants. This establishes the FNT as a new standard in spectral methods, particularly suitable for high-dimensional, non-periodic PDE problems, interpolation tasks, arising as the computational bottleneck in solving, e.g. 6D Boltzmann, Fokker-Planck, or Vlasov equations, multi-body Hamiltonian systems, and the inference of governing equations in complex self-organizing systems.
