We review machine learning methods employing positive definite kernels. These methods formulate learning and estimation problems in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) of functions defined on the data domain, expanded in terms of a…

We describe and analyze a simple random feature scheme (RFS) from prescribed compositional kernels. The compositional kernels we use are inspired by the structure of convolutional neural networks and kernels. The resulting scheme yields…

We provide a characterization for the continuous positive definite kernels on $\mathbb R^d$ that are invariant to linear isometries, i.e. invariant under the orthogonal group $O(d)$. Furthermore, we provide necessary and sufficient…

We present an alternative way of solving the steerable kernel constraint that appears in the design of steerable equivariant convolutional neural networks. We find explicit real and complex bases which are ready to use, for different…

Answering a long standing question, we give an example of a Hilbert module and a nonzero bounded right linear map having a kernel with trivial orthogonal complement. In particular, this kernel is different from its own double orthogonal…

In the paper we investigate a method of quantization based on the concept of positive definite kernel on a principal $G$-bundle with compact structural group G. For G=U(1) our approach leads to Kostant-Souriau geometric quantization as well…

We outline a new approach to the characterization as well as to the classification of positive maps. This approach is based on the facial structures of the set of states and of the cone of positive maps. In particular, the equivalence…

Starting from a subinvariant positive definite kernel under a branching pullback, we attach to the resulting kernel tower a canonical electrical network on the word tree whose edge weights are the diagonal increments. This converts diagonal…

Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) matrices have become popular to encode image information. Accounting for the geometry of the Riemannian manifold of SPD matrices has proven key to the success of many algorithms. However, most existing…

For two continuous and isotropic positive definite kernels on the same compact two-point homogeneous space, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions in order that their product be strictly positive definite. We also provide a…

For a given positive integer $m$, the concept of hyperdeterminantal total positivity is defined for a kernel $K\colon {\mathbb R}^{2m} \to {\mathbb R}$, thereby generalizing the classical concept of total positivity. Extending the…
