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:2601. 22784v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a rank-statistic approximation of $f$-divergences that avoids explicit density-ratio estimation by working directly with the distribution of ranks.

arXiv:2602. 13362v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A key challenge in probabilistic regression is ensuring that predictive distributions accurately reflect true empirical uncertainty.

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: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.
