Can someone speak to the generality of assuming c-isoperimetry for the distribution of features?
Without knowing anything about this in particular, this seems to be a rather pertinent restriction of the result related to things like sampling assumptions and the like.
- woopwoop 5y agoIt really depends on what we assume about "natural" data. If it looks "positively curved", e.g. the uniform measure on the boundary of a convex body, or the a gaussian, or something, this holds. But if the distribution exhibits a strong hierarchical structure that's not so good. I think it's a plausible if not obviously true assumption.
