In this note, we revisit the algorithm of Har-Peled et. al. [HRZ07] for computing a linear maximum margin classifier. Our presentation is self contained, and the algorithm itself is slightly simpler than the original algorithm. The…

A Hilbert space embedding for probability measures has recently been proposed, with applications including dimensionality reduction, homogeneity testing, and independence testing. This embedding represents any probability measure as a mean…

Motivated by applications to the study of stochastic processes, we introduce a new analysis of positive definite kernels $K$, their reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS), and an associated family of feature spaces that may be chosen in…

The problem of estimating the kernel mean in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) is central to kernel methods in that it is used by classical approaches (e.g., when centering a kernel PCA matrix), and it also forms the core inference…
