DDE - The mathematical and statistical foundation of future data-driven engineering

We first review some classical methods in machine learning to deal with dimension reduction and distance learning.  We then elaborate on a new density-based estimator for weighted geodesic distances that takes into account the underlying density of the data, and that is suitable for nonuniform data lying on a manifold of lower dimension than the ambient space. The consistency of the estimator is proven using tools from first passage percolation. The macroscopic distance obtained depends on a unique parameter and we discuss the choice of this parameter and the properties of the obtained distance for machine learning tasks.
