The problem of determining whether a probabilistic program terminates almost surely (i.e.~with probability one) is undecidable, and actually $\Pi^0_2$-complete. For this reason, a growing literature has explored classes of programs for…

In this paper we construct a hierarchy of multivariate polynomial approximation kernels via semidefinite programming. We give details on the implementation of the semidefinite programs defining the kernels. Finally, we show how a symmetry…

We study the hermitian one matrix model with semi-classical potential. This is a general unitary invariant random matrix ensemble in which the potential has a derivative that is a rational function and the measure is supported on some…

We introduce a novel conditional density estimation model termed the conditional density operator (CDO). It naturally captures multivariate, multimodal output densities and shows performance that is competitive with recent neural…

We develop kernel criteria for the likelihood-ratio, hazard-rate, usual stochastic, and relative log-concavity orders in parametric families of univariate probability laws with densities. The score is the derivative of the log density with…

We provide the first mathematically complete derivation of the Nystr\"om method for low-rank approximation of indefinite kernels and propose an efficient method for finding an approximate eigendecomposition of such kernel matrices. Building…

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…

The success of kernel-based learning methods depend on the choice of kernel. Recently, kernel learning methods have been proposed that use data to select the most appropriate kernel, usually by combining a set of base kernels. We introduce…

When analyzing modern machine learning algorithms, we may need to handle kernel density estimation (KDE) with intricate kernels that are not designed by the user and might even be irregular and asymmetric. To handle this emerging challenge,…
