This paper introduces the Sierpiński-Knopp (SK) Wasserstein distance, a fast metric between persistence diagrams. The SK-Wasserstein distance, denoted $d_{\mathrm{SK}}$, maps diagram points and their...
The paper introduces Backward Kernel Herding, an algorithm that iteratively removes data points to create representative subsets for kernel learning, achieving performance comparable to state‑of‑the‑art methods while speeding up subsampling when the reduced size is less than half the original dataset. It also proposes Flexible Kernel Thinning, an extension that allows construction of subsets of any size, not just successive halvings, and demonstrates that this method often yields the best predictive performance. Experiments on Gaussian Processes and Kernel Support Vector Machines show that Backward Kernel Herding excels in training‑time efficiency, while Flexible Kernel Thinning offers superior predictive accuracy and competitive memory usage, emphasizing the need to choose a reduction strategy based on the desired trade‑off between performance, cost, and memory.

The paper introduces GBFRVFL, a fuzzy granular-ball random vector functional link network designed to improve robustness in noisy, imbalanced, or uncertain data settings. It employs granular-ball computing to group raw samples into adaptive balls and proposes two membership assignment schemes: F-GBRVFL, which uses fuzzy membership to gauge ball reliability, and SDAP-GBRVFL, which introduces a statistical density‑adaptive Pythagorean membership that adjusts based on class variance, local sparsity, and ball compactness. Experiments on 37 UCI and KEEL datasets show that these models outperform baseline methods in both clean and noisy conditions, achieving higher accuracy and stability.
