A Witness Two-Sample Test
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
The Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) has been the state-of-the-art nonparametric test for tackling the two-sample problem. ...
We show that 1) the new test is consistent and has a well-controlled type-I error; 2) the optimal witness function is given by a precision-weighted mean in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space associated ...
Benchmark
CONCLUSION We introduced a principled approach to learn optimal witness functions for two-sample testing. ...

AutoML Two-Sample Test
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
We use a simple test that takes the mean discrepancy of a witness function as the test statistic and prove that minimizing a squared loss leads to a witness with optimal testing power. ...
We provide an implementation of the AutoML two-sample test in the Python package autotst. ...

Generative Models and Model Criticism via Optimized Maximum Mean Discrepancy
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
We propose a method to optimize the representation and distinguishability of samples from two probability distributions, by maximizing the estimated power of a statistical test based on the maximum mean ...
In the latter role, the optimized MMD is particularly helpful, as it gives an interpretable indication of how the model and data distributions differ, even in cases where individual model samples are not ...
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank Tim Salimans, Ian Goodfellow, and Wojciech Zaremba for providing their code and for gracious assistance in using it, as well as Jeff Schneider for helpful discussions ...

Informative Features for Model Comparison
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
We propose two new statistical tests which are nonparametric, computationally efficient (runtime complexity is linear in the sample size), and interpretable. ...
Given two candidate models, and a set of target observations, we address the problem of measuring the relative goodness of fit of the two models. ...
The learning rate is set to 10 −3 (for both discriminator and generator in the two models). Some samples generated from the two trained models are shown in Figure 6 . ...

Experimental demonstration of an efficient, semi-device-independent photonic indistinguishability witness
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Existing indistinguishability witnesses may be vulnerable to implementation loopholes, showing the need for a measurement which depends on as few assumptions as possible. ...
Here, we introduce a semi-device-independent witness of photonic indistinguishability and measure it on an integrated photonic processor, certifying three-photon indistinguishability in a way that is insensitive ...
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We thank Mattia Walschaers for discussions. ...

Neural Stein critics with staged L^2-regularization
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
While recent studies revealed that the optimal L^2-regularized Stein critic equals the difference of the score functions of two probability distributions up to a multiplicative constant, we investigate ...
Metrics that quantify the disparity in probability distributions, such as the Stein discrepancy, play an important role in statistical testing in high dimensions. ...

Complete nonclassicality test with a photon-number-resolving detector
2012
Physical Review A. Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics
We present a method for the experimental measurement of nonclassicality witnesses and demonstrate its application. ...
This setup allows a complete test of nonclassicality of an arbitrary quantum state. The role of the quantum efficiency as well as statistical and systematic uncertainties are discussed. ...
In any case, the test procedure only requires photon-number resolved measurements in order to estimate the witness for an arbitrary amplitude α. ...

Efficient verification of bosonic quantum channels via benchmarking
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
To this end, we construct an average-fidelity witness that yields a tight lower bound for average fidelity plus a general framework for verifying optimal quantum channels. ...
For both multi-mode unitary Gaussian channels and single-mode amplification channels, we present experimentally feasible average-fidelity witnesses and reliable verification schemes, for which sample complexity ...
As estimating the mean value of an average-fidelity witness is sampling the mean value of an unknown distribution, we use sampling complexities, instead of query complexities, from now on, to infer how ...

Classification Logit Two-sample Testing by Neural Networks
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
This paper proposes a two-sample statistic which is the difference of the logit function, provided by a trained classification neural network, evaluated on the testing set split of the two datasets. ...
Network-based tests have the computational advantage that the algorithm scales to large samples. ...
We call f * the population witness function of the logit test. The witness function plays an important role in the ability of the test to distinguish two densities. ...
