| | | | | 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... | |

| | | | | Suppose we're given a positive semidefinite (PSD) matrix $\mathbf{A} \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times N}$ to which we wish to update by some low-rank matrix $\mathbf{U} \mathbf{U}^\top \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times N}$, $$\mathbf{B} \triangleq \mathbf{A} + \mathbf{U} \mathbf{U}^\top,$$ where the update factor matrix $\mathbf{U} \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times M}$. To be more precise, the low-rank update is rank-$M$ for some $M \ll N$. What is the best way to calculate the Cholesky decomposition of $\mathbf{B}$? Given ...... | |

| | | | | Matrix Potpourri # As part of reviewing Linear Algebra for my Machine Learning class, I've noticed there's a bunch of matrix terminology that I didn't encounter during my proof-based self-study of LA from Linear Algebra Done Right. This post is mostly intended to consolidate my own understanding and to act as a reference to future me, but if it also helps others in a similar position, that's even better! | |

| | | [AI summary] This text provides an in-depth explanation of linear algebra concepts, including vector spaces, linear transformations, matrix multiplication, and field extensions. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts through the lens of linear maps and their composition, which naturally leads to the matrix multiplication formula. The text also touches on the distinction between vector spaces and abelian groups, and discusses the concept of field extensions, such as [R:Q] and [C:R]. The author mentions their art blog and acknowledges their own drawing of the content. | ||
