Nyström Kernel Stein Discrepancy Tests

Florian Kalinke, Zoltán Szabó, Bharath K. Sriperumbudur

Kernel Stein discrepancy (KSD) is among the most popular goodness-of-fit (GoF) measures on general domains with a large number of successful deployments. One of the main applicatio…

Move on Muon : A Hamiltonian probability gradient flow perspective of Muon optimizer

Aratrika Mustafi, Soumya Mukherjee, Bharath K. Sriperumbudur

We develop a gradient flow on the space of probability measures defined on matrix-valued parameters induced by regularized Muon, an analytically smoothed version of the idealized M…

Sobolev Regularized MMD Gradient Flow

Chenyang Tian, Bharath K. Sriperumbudur, Arthur Gretton +1

We propose Sobolev-regularized Maximum Mean Discrepancy (SrMMD) gradient flow, a regularized variant of maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) gradient flow based on a gradient penalty on…

Kernel Single-Index Bandits: Estimation, Inference, and Learning

Sakshi Arya, Satarupa Bhattacharjee, Bharath K. Sriperumbudur

We study contextual bandits with finitely many actions in which the reward of each arm follows a single-index model with an arm-specific index parameter and an unknown nonparametri…

Minimax Optimal Estimation of Mean and Covariance Functions with Spectral Regularization

Naveen Gupta, Bharath K Sriperumbudur

Estimation of the mean and covariance functions is a fundamental problem in functional data analysis, particularly for discretely observed functional data. In this work, we study a…

Gaussian Processes and Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces: Connections and Equivalences

Motonobu Kanagawa, Philipp Hennig, Dino Sejdinovic +1

This monograph studies the relations between two approaches using positive definite kernels: probabilistic methods using Gaussian processes, and non-probabilistic methods using rep…
