Why not to use the Gaussian kernel
Toni Karvonen, Chris J. Oates
Kernels measure similarity or correlation in tasks such as regression and classification. The Gaussian kernel, other names of which include squared exponential and radial basis fun…
BayesSum: Bayesian Quadrature in Discrete Spaces
Sophia Seulkee Kang, François-Xavier Briol, Toni Karvonen +1
This paper addresses the challenging computational problem of estimating intractable expectations over discrete domains. Existing approaches, including Monte Carlo and Russian Roul…
Stationary MMD Points
Zonghao Chen, Toni Karvonen, Heishiro Kanagawa +2
Approximation of a target probability distribution using a finite set of points is a problem of fundamental importance in numerical integration. Several authors have proposed to se…
A Dictionary of Closed-Form Kernel Mean Embeddings
François-Xavier Briol, Alexandra Gessner, Toni Karvonen +1
Kernel mean embeddings -- integrals of a kernel with respect to a probability distribution -- are essential in Bayesian quadrature, but also widely used in other computational tool…
