Abstract: We propose Yau’s Affine Normal Descent (YAND), a geometric framework for smooth unconstrained optimization in which search directions are defined by the equi-affine normal of level-set hypersur…

Abstract: We study mechanical structures composed of spatial four-bar linkages that are bistable, that is, they allow for two distinct configurations. They have an interpretation as quad nets in the Study quadri…

Abstract: Similarity measures are widely used to interpret the representational geometries used by neural networks to solve tasks. Yet, because existing methods compare the extrinsic geometry of representations in…
