We consider the problem of positive-semidefinite continuation: extending a partially specified covariance kernel from a subdomain $\Omega$ of a rectangular domain $I\times I$ to a covariance kernel on the entire domain $I\times I$. For a…

The notion of reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) has emerged in system identification during the past decade. In the resulting framework, the impulse response estimation problem is formulated as a regularized optimization defined on an…

This work studies finite sample approximations of the exact and entropic regularized Wasserstein distances between centered Gaussian processes and, more generally, covariance operators of functional random processes. We first show that…

In this paper, we develop an approach to exploiting kernel methods with manifold-valued data. In many computer vision problems, the data can be naturally represented as points on a Riemannian manifold. Due to the non-Euclidean geometry of…

An extension of reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) theory provides a new framework for modeling functional regression models with functional responses. The approach only presumes a general nonlinear regression structure as opposed to…

For a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space on a complex domain we give a formula that describes the Hermitean metrics on the domain which are pull-backs of some metric on the (dual of) the RKHS via the evaluation map. Then we consider the…

In the context of kernel optimization, we prove a result that yields new factorizations and realizations. Our initial context is that of general positive operator-valued kernels. We further present implications for Hilbert space-valued…

Kernel mean embeddings have recently attracted the attention of the machine learning community. They map measures $\mu$ from some set $M$ to functions in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) with kernel $k$. The RKHS distance of two…

We show that properties of pairs of finite, positive and regular Borel measures on the complex unit circle such as domination, absolute continuity and singularity can be completely described in terms of containment and intersection of their…

Regularized empirical risk minimization using kernels and their corresponding reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs) plays an important role in machine learning. However, the actually used kernel often depends on one or on a few…
