Huge congrats to Simon Mataigne and P.-A. Absil on two new papers out this month! 🎉
Bringing elegant math to life through algorithms on the Stiefel manifold and Riemannian barycenters🌐

Thrilled to see these two papers by Simon Mataigne, co-authored with P.-A. Absil published this month 🤩
They connect deep mathematical theory to practical algorithms on the Stiefel manifold and the approximation of the Riemannian barycenter 🌐

The second paper called "On the Approximation of the Riemannian Barycenter" uses the bounds from the above article to compute approximations of the Riemannian barycenter at very low computational cost!

The first paper called "Bounds on the geodesic distances on the Stiefel manifold for a family of Riemannian metrics" studies the geometry of the Stiefel manifold to derive simple and insightful bounds on the computationally untractable geodesic distance.
