Revisiting Thinning Methods for Kernel Learning Problems
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.07432v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kernel methods are widely used because of their strong theoretical guarantees and empirical performance. However, their high computational cost limits their applicability to large-scale datasets. To address this shortcoming, several approaches use Maximum Mean Discrepancy to construct representative subsets that preserve the properties of the full dataset in a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space. We introduce Backward Kernel Herding, an algorithm that addresses this problem by iteratively removing points from the dataset, achieving results compara
