Kernel-based K-means clustering has gained popularity due to its simplicity and the power of its implicit non-linear representation of the data. A dominant concern is the memory requirement since memory scales as the square of the number of…

The notion of Turing kernelization investigates whether a polynomial-time algorithm can solve an NP-hard problem, when it is aided by an oracle that can be queried for the answers to bounded-size subproblems. One of the main open problems…

In the Vertex Cover problem we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $k$ and have to determine whether there is a set $X\subseteq V$ of size at most $k$ such that each edge in $E$ has at least one endpoint in $X$. The problem can be…

We propose a class of kernel-based two-sample tests, which aim to determine whether two sets of samples are drawn from the same distribution. Our tests are constructed from kernels parameterized by deep neural nets, trained to maximize test…
