Minimax Lower Bound for Estimating Diffusion-based Local Intrinsic Dimension

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 4, 2026 · UTC

While diffusion-based methods have recently emerged as effective tools for probing the intrinsic geometry of high-dimensional data, their statistical difficulty remains largely unexplored. We study estimation of the finite-scale population functional underlying FLIPD (Kamkari et al., 2024; arXiv:2406.03537), a diffusion-based local intrinsic dimension (LID) quantity defined through the logarithmic scale derivative of a Gaussian-smoothed density. Intuitively, Gaussian smoothing turns local dimension into a scale law: near a $d$-dimensional manifold, the kernel mass grows like $σ^d$, so differen
