We introduce probability estimation, a broadly applicable framework to certify randomness in a finite sequence of measurement results without assuming that these results are independent and identically distributed. Probability estimation…

Any bipartite quantum state has quasi-probability representations in terms of separable states. For entangled states these quasi-probabilities necessarily exhibit negativities. Based on the general structure of composite quantum states, one…

In this work we consider the problem of learning a positive semidefinite kernel matrix from relative comparisons of the form: "object A is more similar to object B than it is to C", where comparisons are given by humans. Existing solutions…

Probability measures by themselves, are known to be inappropriate for modeling the dynamics of plain belief and their excessively strong measurability constraints make them unsuitable for some representational tasks, e.g. in the context of…

We give sufficient conditions for a nonlocal perturbation of an integral kernel to be locally in time comparable with the kernel.

Quantum kernels quantify similarity between data points by measuring the inner product between quantum states, computed through quantum circuit measurements. By embedding data into quantum systems, quantum kernel feature maps, that may be…

We discuss the (re-)construction of quasiprobability representations from generic measurements, including noisy ones. Based on the measurement under study, quasiprobabilities and the associated concept of nonclassicality are introduced. A…

To derive a program for a given specification R means to find an artifact P that satisfies two conditions: P is executable in some programming language; and P is correct with respect to R. Refinement-based program derivation achieves this…

We provide new general kernel selection rules thanks to penalized least-squares criteria. We derive optimal oracle inequalities using adequate concentration tools. We also investigate the problem of minimal penalty as described in [BM07].
