Kernel Mean Embeddings

If you have a question about this talk, please contact .

Kernel mean embeddings are a technique that represents probability distributions as elements in a high dimensional Hilbert space. This allows difficult operations such as expectations to be reformulated as dot products in the Hilbert space. This talk introduces reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS), which is the theoretical underpinnings upon which kernel mean embeddings are constructed. The talk aims to provide intuition regarding the relationship between kernels, feature maps and RHKS function spaces. The talk continues with a discussion of kernel mean embeddings, and common applications of kernel mean embeddings, specifically, kernel two-sample hypothesis testing. We also discuss embedding multivariable conditional distributions which allow the application of kernel Bayes rule.
