Title — Riemannian geometry for data analysis: illustration on blind source separation and low-rank structured covariance matrices

Abstract — In this presentation, Riemannian geometry for data analysis is introduced. In particular, it is applied on two specific statistical signal processing problems: blind source separation and low-rank structured covariance matrices. Blind source separation can be solved by jointly diagonalizing some covariance matrices. We show here how geometry can be exploited in order to provide original joint diagonalization criteria and ways to compare them theoretically. These results are illustrated with numerical experiments both on simulated and real data. Concerning low-rank structured covariance matrices, an intrinsic Cramér-Rao bound of the corresponding estimation problem is presented, illustrating the interest of geometry for performance analysis. These results are validated with simulations.

2. Introduction
3. Introduction – Statistical data analysis • Characterize data x with some parameters θ x θ • To estimate θ, optimization problem: argmin θ∈M f (x, θ) • f : X × M → R, cost function corresponding to the model • x and θ might possess a structure ⇒ X and M are manifolds 1
4. Introduction – Riemannian geometry Geometry: metric, curves, distance or divergence treat difficult problems, complicated to handle with other approaches • modeling: design appropriate cost functions for the considered model exploit the structure of data x, e.g. centers of mass • optimization: generic convex and non-convex methods, modularity naturally takes into account structure of parameters θ • performance analysis: error measures and associated performance bounds captures the geometrical structure of the problem M TθM •θ 2
5. Introduction Riemannian geometry and optimization Approximate joint diagonalization for blind source separation Intrinsic Cramér-Rao bound for low-rank structured elliptical models Conclusions and perspectives
6. Riemannian geometry and optimization
7. Riemannian geometry [Absil et al., 2008] • Manifold M: locally diffeomorphic to Rd , with dim(M) = d, i.e. ∀θ ∈ M, ∃ Uθ ⊂ M and ϕθ : Uθ → Rd , diffeomorphism M • θ Uθ • Curve γ : R → M, γ(0) = θ, derivative: ˙ γ(0) = lim t→0 γ(t) − γ(0) t • Tangent space Tθ M = { ˙ γ(0) : γ : R → M, γ(0) = θ} M TθM θ • 3
8. Riemannian geometry [Absil et al., 2008] • Riemannian metric ·, · θ : Tθ M × Tθ M → R • inner product on TθM – bilinear, symmetric, positive definite • defines length and relative positions of tangent vectors ξ 2 θ = ξ, ξ θ α(ξ, η) = ξ, η θ ξ θ η θ • Geodesics γ : [0, 1] → M • generalizes straight lines to manifolds – defined by (γ(0), ˙ γ(0)) or (γ(0), γ(1)) • curves on M with zero acceleration: D2γ dt2 = 0 operator D2 dt2 depends on M and ·, · · • Riemannian distance: δ(θ, ˆ θ) = 1 0 ˙ γ(t) γ(t) dt γ: geodesic connecting θ and ˆ θ ⇒ distance = length of γ M TθM θ ξ η α • M θ ˆ θ ˙ γ(t) • • • γ(t) 4
9. Riemannian optimization [Absil et al., 2008] argmin θ∈M f (θ) • framework for optimization on manifold M equipped with metric ·, · · M TθM ξ • θ f (θ) D f (θ)[ξ] • descent direction of f at θ: ξ ∈ Tθ M, D f (θ)[ξ] < 0 • gradient of f at θ: grad f (θ), ξ θ = D f (θ)[ξ] 5
10. Riemannian optimization [Absil et al., 2008] • minimize f on M from θ: descent direction ξ ∈ TθM grad f (θ), ξ θ < 0 retraction of ξ on M M TθM ξ • θ • Rθ(ξ) reiterate until critical point: grad f (θ) = 0 • example of optimization algorithm: gradient descent θi+1 = Rθi (−ti grad f (θi )) 6
11. Approximate joint diagonalization for blind source separation
12. Problem: approximate joint diagonalization • data: set {Ck } of n × n symmetric positive definite matrices • goal: find joint diagonalizer B of matrices Ck {Ck } ··· k B BCk BT ··· k • formulation: non-singular matrix B ∈ Rn×n such that: argmin B f (B, {Ck }) f – diagonality criterion 7
13. Application: blind source separation • instantaneous linear mixing: x(t) = A s(t) [Comon and Jutten, 2010] • goal: retrieve A and s(t) knowing x(t) s(t) x(t) A Bx(t) B • used in many engineering fields such as electroencephalography 8
14. Geometrical modeling of the problem • goal: get Ck as close as possible to D++ n in S++ n • diagonality measure of BCk BT : relative position to D++ n D++ n diagonal positive definite matrices S++ n symmetric positive definite matrices • • • • • • Ck 9
15. Proposed geometrical model • appropriate criterion: f (B, {Ck })) = k d(BCk BT , Λk (B)) Λk (B): target diagonal matrices d(·, ·) : divergence on S++ n D++ n diagonal positive definite matrices S++ n symmetric positive definite matrices • BCk BT • Λk (B) • Λk (B) • natural choice for Λk (B): Λk (B) = argmin Λ∈D++ n d(BCk BT , Λ) 10
16. Considered divergences • least squares criterion: Euclidean distance on S++ n [Cardoso and Souloumiac, 1993] δ2 F (C, Λ) = C − Λ 2 F Λ = ddiag(C) • log-likelihood cirterion: left Kullback-Leibler divergence [Pham, 2000] d KL(C, Λ) = dKL(C, Λ) Λ = ddiag(C) where dKL(P, S) = trace(PS−1 − In) − log det(PS−1) • other measures obtained from dKL (·, ·): right measure: drKL(C, Λ) = dKL(Λ, C) Λ = ddiag(C−1)−1 symmetrized measure: dsKL(C, Λ) = 1 2 (dKL(C, Λ) + dKL(Λ, C)) Λ = ddiag(C)1/2 ddiag(C−1)−1/2 11
17. Considered divergences • natural Riemannian distance: [Skovgaard, 1984], [Bhatia, 2009] δ2 R (C, Λ) = log(Λ−1/2CΛ−1/2) 2 F ddiag(log(C−1Λ)) = 0n • log-Euclidean distance: [Arsigny et al., 2007] δ2 LE (C, Λ) = log(C) − log(Λ) 2 F Λ = exp(ddiag(log(C))) • Bhattacharyya distance: [Chebbi and Moakher, 2012], [Sra, 2013] δ2 B (C, Λ) = 4 log det((C + Λ)/2) det(C)1/2 det(Λ)1/2 2 ddiag((C + Λ)−1) = Λ−1 • Wasserstein distance: [Villani, 2008], [Bhatia et al., 2017] δ2 W (C, Λ) = trace 1 2 (C + Λ) − (Λ1/2CΛ1/2)1/2 ddiag((Λ1/2CΛ1/2)1/2) = Λ 12

23. Intrinsic Cramér-Rao bound for low-rank structured elliptical models
24. Intrinsic Cramér-Rao bound • x ∼ L(θ), θ ∈ M, with log-likelihood Lx : M → R • given x, estimation problem: ˆ θ = argmin θ∈M −Lx (θ) • Cramèr-Rao bound of an unbiased estimator ˆ θ of θ : Eˆ θ [Err(θ, ˆ θ)] F−1 ⇒ MSE = Eˆ θ [err(θ, ˆ θ)] ≥ trace(F−1) F: Fisher information matrix 18
25. Intrinsic Cramér-Rao bound Eˆ θ [err(θ, ˆ θ)] ≥ trace(F−1) • classical case: M = Rd err(θ, ˆ θ) = θ − ˆ θ 2 2 Fij = −Ex ∂2Lx (θ) ∂θi ∂θj ⇒ constraints, invariances of the model not taken into account • generalization to Riemannian manifold M [Smith, 2005, Boumal, 2013] • err(θ, ˆ θ) = δ2 M (θ, ˆ θ) δM distance on M associated to ·, · M · • Fij = ei , ej F θ • ξ, η F θ = −Ex [D2 Lx (θ)[ξ, η]], Fisher metric • {ei } orthonormal basis of TθM associated to ·, · M θ M TθM •θ ⇒ allows to exhibit different properties from the classical case 19
26. Elliptical distributions / low-rank structure • x ∼ CES(0, R), R ∈ H++ p , with log-likelihood L++ x (R) = log(g(xH R−1x)) − log det(R)−1 g : R+ → R+ e.g. gaussian (g(t) = exp(−t)), generalized gaussian, Student t • Fisher metric of elliptical distributions on H++ p : [Breloy et al., 2018] ξ, η F,++ R = αF trace(R−1ξR−1η) + βF trace(R−1ξ) trace(R−1η) • low-rank structure – few data [Sun et al., 2016, Bouchard et al., 2020] R = Ip + H H ∈ H+ p,k ⇒ geometry of H+ p,k : several possibilities, none ideal e.g. [Bonnabel and Sepulchre, 2009, Vandereycken et al., 2012, Massart and Absil, 2018] 20
27.

28. quotient Mp,k : Riemannian geometry • θ = (U, Σ) ∈ Mp,k • Tθ Mp,k = {(UΩξ + U⊥ Kξ , ξΣ ) : Ωξ ∈ Ak , Kξ ∈ R(p−k)×k , ξΣ ∈ Sk } U⊥ ∈ Stp,(p−k) such that UH U⊥ = 0 ξ, η θ = 1 2 trace(ΩH ξ Ωη ) + trace(KH ξ Kη ) + α trace(Σ−1ξΣ Σ−1ηΣ ) + β trace(Σ−1ξΣ ) trace(Σ−1ηΣ ) • vertical space – tangent space to the equivalence class Vθ = {(UΩ, ΣΩ − ΩΣ) : Ω ∈ Ak } • horizontal space – orthogonal complement to Vθ according to ·, · θ Hθ = {ξ ∈ Tθ Mp,k : Ωξ = 2α(Σ−1ξΣ − ξΣ Σ−1)} Mp,k O → (UO, O T SO) TθMp,k Vθ Hθ • θ 22
29. quotient Mp,k : error measure • Riemannian distance not known ⇒ alternative error measure • alternative horizontal space – complement to Vθ, non orthogonal [Bonnabel and Sepulchre, 2009] Hθ = {ξ ∈ Tθ Mp,k : Ωξ = 0} = {(U⊥ Kξ , ξΣ ) : Kξ ∈ R(p−k)×k , ξΣ ∈ Sk } • induces divergence onto Mp,k d(π(θ), π(ˆ θ)) = Θ 2 2 + α log(Σ−1/2O ˆ OH ˆ Σ ˆ OOH Σ−1/2) 2 2 + β log det(Σ−1 ˆ Σ) 2 UT ˆ U = O cos(Θ) ˆ OT ⇒ err(θ, ˆ θ) = d(θ, ˆ θ) Mp,k O → (UO, O H ΣO) TθMp,k Vθ Hθ Hθ • θ • θ 23

34. Conclusions and perspectives
35. Conclusions and perspectives • Riemannian geometry: • powerful tool for signal processing and machine learning • exploits intrinsic structure of data and parameters • quite complete and allows modularity – modeling, optimization, performance analysis • when to use Riemannian geometry and optimization ? • data and/or parameters possess a structure: constraints, invariances (geometrical properties of model) • metric of particular interest with respect to model (e.g., information theory) • issue: for some manifolds, geometry complicated to fully characterize e.g., low rank symmetric positive semidefinite matrices ⇒ go beyond Riemannian geometry to provide simple and efficient geometrical objects 28
