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.

arXiv:2512. 13997v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing two-sample testing techniques, particularly those based on choosing a kernel for the Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD), often assume equal sample sizes from the two distributions.

arXiv:2501. 18897v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative models have achieved remarkable success across a range of applications, yet their evaluation still lacks principled uncertainty quantification.

arXiv:2504. 11299v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We revisit extending the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance between probability distributions to the multi-dimensional setting, and make new arguments about the proper way to approach this generalization.

arXiv:2607. 20119v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce the Directional Kernel Mean Difference (DKMD), a signed statistic for univariate distribution comparison that preserves the direction of distributional shifts.

arXiv:2607. 15645v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the challenge of testing distributions over high-dimensional or continuous domains, we study distribution testing with respect to bounded classes of distinguishers.

arXiv:2608. 01268v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Detecting that a stream of high-dimensional embeddings has changed is usually framed as a choice of statistic.

arXiv:2402. 11736v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Kernel herding belongs to a family of deterministic quadratures that seek to minimize the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD), that is, the worst-case integration error over a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS).

arXiv:2409. 10094v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Out-of-Distribution (OoD) detection aims to justify whether a given sample is from the training distribution of the classifier-under-protection, i.

arXiv:2602. 15438v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: For a broad family of discriminative models that includes autoregressive language models, identifiability results imply that if two models induce the same conditional distributions, then their internal representations are equal up to an invertible linear transformation.

arXiv:2606. 29665v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper examines how metric adjustments to Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) can enhance its effectiveness as a visual tool for pattern recognition.
