| | This post is mainly devoted to a probabilistic proof of a famous theorem due to Schoenberg on radial positive definite functions. Let us begin with a general notion: we say that \( {K:\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow\mathbb{R}} \) is a positive definite kernel when \[ \forall n\geq1, \forall x_1,\ldots,x_n\in\mathbb{R}^d, \forall c\in\mathbb{C}^n, \quad\sum_{i=1}^n\sum_{j=1}^nc_iK(x_i,x_j)\bar{c}_j\geq0. \] When \( {K} \) is symmetric, i.e. \( {K(x,y)=K(y,x)} \) for...

| | [AI summary] This article explores the properties of matrix relative entropy and its convexity, linking it to machine learning and information theory. It discusses the use of positive definite matrices in various contexts, including concentration inequalities and kernel methods. The article also includes a lemma on matrix cumulant generating functions and its proof, as well as references to relevant literature.
