Generative model for optimal density estimation on unknown manifold

We propose a generative model that achieves minimax-optimal convergence rates for estimating probability distributions supported on unknown low-dimensional manifolds. Building on Fefferman's solution to the geometric Whitney problem, our estimator is itself supported on a submanifold that matches the regularity of the data's support. This geometric adaptation enables the estimator to be simultaneously minimax-optimal for all \( γ\)-Hölder Integral Probability Metrics (IPMs) with \( γ\geq 1 \). We validate our approach through experiments on synthetic and real datasets, demonstrating competitive or superior performance compared to Wasserstein GAN and score-based generative models.

Abstract

We propose a generative model that achieves minimax-optimal convergence rates for estimating probability distributions supported on unknown low-dimensional manifolds. Building on Fefferman's solution to the geometric Whitney problem, our estimator is itself supported on a submanifold that matches the regularity of the data's support. This geometric adaptation enables the estimator to be simultaneously minimax-optimal for all \( γ\)-Hölder Integral Probability Metrics (IPMs) with \( γ\geq 1 \). We validate our approach through experiments on synthetic and real datasets, demonstrating competitive or superior performance compared to Wasserstein GAN and score-based generative models.
