We investigate an interpolation/extrapolation method that, given scattered observations of the Fourier transform, approximates its inverse. The interpolation algorithm takes advantage of modelling the available data via a shape-driven…
The efficacy of interpolating via Variably Scaled Kernels (VSKs) is known to be dependent on the definition of a proper scaling function, but no numerical recipes to construct it are available. Previous works suggest that such a function…
Variably scaled kernels and mapped bases constructed via the so-called fake nodes approach are two different strategies to provide adaptive bases for function interpolation. In this paper, we focus on kernel-based interpolation and we…

Shapley data valuation provides a principled, axiomatic framework for assigning importance to individual datapoints, and has gained traction in dataset curation, pruning, and pricing. However, it is a combinatorial measure that requires…
The paradigm of differentiable programming has significantly enhanced the scope of machine learning via the judicious use of gradient-based optimization. However, standard differentiable programming methods (such as autodiff) typically…
Functional data analysis is typically performed in two steps: first, functionally representing discrete observations, and then applying functional methods to the so-represented data. The initial choice of a functional representation may…
Kernel methods are an incredibly popular technique for extending linear models to non-linear problems via a mapping to an implicit, high-dimensional feature space. While kernel methods are computationally cheaper than an explicit feature…

We study the learning properties of nonparametric ridge-less least squares. In particular, we consider the common case of estimators defined by scale dependent kernels, and focus on the role of the scale. These estimators interpolate the…
Spectral kernel methods are techniques for transforming data into a coordinate system that efficiently reveals the geometric structure - in particular, the "connectivity" - of the data. These methods depend on certain tuning parameters. We…
The variational multiscale (VMS) formulation formally segregates the evolution of the coarse-scales from the fine-scales. VMS modeling requires the approximation of the impact of the fine scales in terms of the coarse scales. In linear…

We revisit the classical kernel method of approximation/interpolation theory in a very specific context motivated by the desire to obtain a robust procedure to approximate discrete data sets by (super)level sets of functions that are merely…
In order to fully utilize "big data", it is often required to use "big models". Such models tend to grow with the complexity and size of the training data, and do not make strong parametric assumptions upfront on the nature of the…
