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: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:2605. 09916v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce the observable Wasserstein distance, a framework for deriving lower bounds on the Wasserstein distance between probability measures on Polish metric spaces, designed to bypass the computational intractability of exact optimal transport in large-scale, non-Euclidean datasets.

This paper examines how metric adjustments to Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) can enhance its effectiveness as a visual tool for pattern recognition. The distance under consideration, referred to as Max-D-SW, is an adjustment of the Max-Sliced Wasserstein distance.
