Local Hessian Spectral Filtering for Robust Intrinsic Dimension Estimation
Spectral filtering on the log-density Hessian counts only tangent directions to estimate local intrinsic dimension even when noise fills most of high-dimensional space.

Claims
We propose Local Hessian Spectral Dimension (LHSD), which resolves this by applying spectral filtering to the log-density Hessian, explicitly cutting off large eigenvalues associated with normal directions to count zero-curvature tangent directions. Implemented using Stochastic Lanczos Quadrature (SLQ), LHSD avoids full Hessian construction, achieving linear scalability with dimension D.
That the log-density Hessian exhibits a clear spectral separation where large eigenvalues reliably correspond to noise-dominated normal directions and near-zero eigenvalues to the tangent space, and that a fixed or simple cutoff can be applied without losing signal or introducing bias.
LHSD uses spectral filtering on the log-density Hessian to isolate tangent directions from noise and estimate local intrinsic dimension scalably via Stochastic Lanczos Quadrature.
