arXiv:2605.25526v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the geometry of determinantal point processes (DPPs) through the spectral decomposition $L=U\Lambda U^{\top}$. The spectrum $\Lambda$ governs the cardinality distribution via elementary symmetric polynomials, while the eigenspace orientation $U$ governs the conditional law within each fixed-cardinality stratum. Conditioning on cardinality $k$ yields the $k$-DPP, for which the identifiability structure changes fundamentally: the spectral parameter becomes identifiable only up to a common scale, and the eigenspace rotation parameter is i
This research is part of ongoing foundational advancements in machine learning theory, building on existing statistical methods to refine understanding of complex probabilistic models.
Improved theoretical understanding of determinantal point processes (DPPs) and k-DPPs contributes to more robust and efficient algorithms in areas like active learning, probabilistic modeling, and data selection.
The identifiability analysis offers a deeper theoretical insight into the behavior of DPPs, particularly when conditioned on cardinality, which can inform future model development and application.
