Abstract

In this paper, we characterize Probabilistic Principal Component Analysis in Hilbert spaces and demonstrate how the optimal solution admits a representation in dual space. This allows us to develop a generative framework for kernel methods. Furthermore, we show how it englobes Kernel Principal Component Analysis and illustrate its working on a toy and a real dataset.
