Multi-kernel spectral clustering: Entrywise eigenvector perturbation bounds and exact recovery

arXiv:2608. 08704v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kernel spectral clustering with a single bandwidth can be inadequate for data exhibiting multiple characteristic pairwise-distance scales, a problem particularly prevalent in the high-dimensional regime.

Spectral DPPs via NEPv: A Scalable Continuous Relaxation of Determinantal MAP for Diversity-Aware Data Selection

arXiv:2606. 19411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Selecting a small, diverse, high-quality subset from a massive pool of candidates is a recurring primitive in modern machine learning -- data curation and coreset selection for training and fine-tuning large models, active-learning batch acquisition, prompt and exemplar selection for in-context learning, retrieval diversification, and experimental design.

Minimax Lower Bounds of Kernel Discrepancy Estimation: MMD, HSIC, KSD

arXiv:2607. 24235v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Over the past 20 years, kernel discrepancies have been leveraged as a highly powerful tool for quantifying the disagreement of distributions, with numerous successful applications in two-sample, goodness-of-fit, and independence testing, among others.
