Diffusion models on Riemannian manifolds

I am extending traditional diffusion models on Euclidean spaces to Riemannian manifolds. I am interested in the efficient training and NN architectures of such models.

Manifold diffusion with VLA for robotics

Combining manifold-aware diffusion models with vision-language-action models in a hybrid approach to robot control.

    Order Flow Imbalance and Price Formation

    S. Jhaveri

    Independent research paper

    A paper asking how much of a stock's price movement is explained simply by the imbalance between buy and sell orders. Across 24 million quotes, the answer is about half. There maybe some non-linear dynamics better captured by modern ensemble methods.
