Existing approaches based on kernel mean embedding, which convert a point kernel to a distributional kernel, have two key issues: the point kernel employed has a feature map with intractable dimensionality; and it is {\em data independent}.

A current key approach focuses on ways to produce an approximate finite-dimensional feature map, assuming that the kernel used has a feature map with intractable dimensionality---an assumption traditionally held in kernel-based methods.

To measure the similarity of two documents in the bag-of-words (BoW) vector representation, different term weighting schemes are used to improve the performance of cosine similarity---the most widely used inter-document similarity measure in text mining.

We address the problem of inferring the causal direction between two variables by comparing the least-squares errors of the predictions in both possible directions.

It is generally difficult to make any statements about the expected prediction error in an univariate setting without further knowledge about how the data were generated.

A large amount of observational data has been accumulated in various fields in recent times, and there is a growing need to estimate the generating processes of these data.

Discovering causal relations among observed variables in a given data set is a major objective in studies of statistics and artificial intelligence.

We demonstrate that the proposed method can more accurately detect small erroneous deviations in reconstructed density matrices, which contain intrinsic fluctuations due to the limited number of samples, than a naive method of checking the trace distance from the average of the given density matrices.

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for learning causal orders that is robust against one typical violation of the model assumptions: latent confounders.

Reinforcement learning (RL) methods based on direct policy search (DPS) have been actively discussed to achieve an efficient approach to complicated Markov decision processes (MDPs).
