We propose a novel combination of optimization tools with learning theory bounds in order to analyze the sample complexity of optimal kernel sum classifiers. This contrasts the typical learning theoretic results which hold for all…

The merit factor of a $\{-1, 1\}$ binary sequence measures the collective smallness of its non-trivial aperiodic autocorrelations. Binary sequences with large merit factor are important in digital communications because they allow the…

This note responds to "Promises and Pitfalls of Deep Kernel Learning" (Ober et al., 2021). The marginal likelihood of a Gaussian process can be compartmentalized into a data fit term and a complexity penalty. Ober et al. (2021) shows that…

Defining suitable quantum extensions of classical divergences often poses a challenge due to the non-commutative nature of quantum information. In this work, we propose a new approach via what we call the layer cake representation. The…

We consider piecewise linear interpolation from the perspective of kernel interpolation and quadrature. If the Sobolev space $W_2^1(0, 1)$ is equipped with a suitable inner product, its reproducing kernel is piecewise linear and gives rise…

We study kernel methods in machine learning from the perspective of feature subspace. We establish a one-to-one correspondence between feature subspaces and kernels and propose an information-theoretic measure for kernels. In particular, we…
