Classical and quantum kernel fusion for two-sample testing

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2511.20941v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Two-sample tests have been extensively employed in various scientific fields and machine learning to discriminate whether two sets of samples come from the same distribution or not. Kernel-based procedures for hypothetical testing have been proposed to efficiently disentangle high-dimensional complex structures in data to obtain accurate results in a model-free way by embedding the data into the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). While the choice of kernels plays a crucial role for their performance, little is understood about how to choose kernel especially for small datasets. Here we construct a hypothetical test which can be effective even for small datasets, based on the theoretical foundation of kernel-based tests using m
