I spoke at the Symposium on frontier research in information science and technology at VISTEC, Thailand. Topic: Recent Advances in Kernel Methods for Model Criticism. Slides.

We have released Python code for “Informative Features for Model Comparison”.

New preprint: Large sample analysis of the median heuristic. In this work, we theoretically study the commonly used median heuristic for setting the bandwidth of a Gaussian kernel.

Our NIPS paper “Informative Features for Model Comparison” is now online on Arxiv. Python code.

Our paper titled “Informative Features for Model Comparison” was accepted to NIPS 2018. Given two samples from two candidate models, and a reference sample (observed data), the goal is to design a statistical test to determine which of the two samples is closer to the reference sample. This has an application for comparing two GAN models.
