Based on direct integrals, a framework allowing to integrate a parametrised family of reproducing kernels with respect to some measure on the parameter space is developed. By pointwise integration, one obtains again a reproducing kernel…
Modern datasets across many disciplines increasingly consist of time-evolving, potentially infinite-dimensional random objects, such as dynamic functional data, which are naturally modeled in Hilbert spaces. In these settings,…

TThe goal of our work is to discover dominant objects in a very general setting where only a single unlabeled image is given. This is far more challenge than typical co-localization or weakly-supervised localization tasks. To tackle this…

Modern retrieval systems are often driven by an underlying machine learning model. The goal of such systems is to identify and possibly rank the few most relevant items for a given query or context. Thus, such systems are typically…

Machine learning tasks over image databases often generate masks that annotate image content (e.g., saliency maps, segmentation maps, depth maps) and enable a variety of applications (e.g., determine if a model is learning spurious…
Finding maximum-cardinality matchings in undirected graphs is arguably one of the most central graph problems. For general m-edge and n-vertex graphs, it is well-known to be solvable in $O(m \sqrt{n})$ time. We develop a linear-time…
The Krasnosel'skii-Mann (KM) algorithm is the most fundamental iterative scheme designed to find a fixed point of an averaged operator in the framework of a real Hilbert space, since it lies at the heart of various numerical algorithms for…
We propose a novel framework for matching estimators for causal effect from observational data that is based on minimizing the dual norm of estimation error when expressed as an operator. We show that many popular matching estimators can be…

In recent years, the dominant accuracy metric for vector search is the recall of a result list of fixed size (top-k retrieval), considering as ground truth the exact vector retrieval results. Although convenient to compute, this metric is…
