| 2025 | Conditional Distribution Compression via the Kernel Conditional Mean EmbeddingabstractExisting distribution compression methods, like Kernel Herding (KH), were originally developed for unlabelled data. However, no existing approach directly compresses the conditional distribution of *labelled* data. To address this gap, we first introduce the *Average Maximum Conditional Mean Discrepancy* (AMCMD), a metric for comparing conditional distributions, and derive a closed form estimator. Next, we make a key observation: in the context of distribution compression, the cost of constructing a compressed set targeting the AMCMD can be reduced from $\mathcal{O}(n^3)$ to $\mathcal{O}(n)$. Leveraging this, we extend KH to propose *Average Conditional Kernel Herding* (ACKH), a linear-time greedy algorithm for constructing compressed sets that target the AMCMD. To better understand the advantages of *directly* compressing the conditional distribution rather than doing so via the joint distribution, we introduce *Joint Kernel Herding* (JKH), an adaptation of KH designed to compress the joint distribution of labelled data. While herding methods provide a simple and interpretable selection process, they rely on a greedy heuristic. To explore alternative optimisation strategies, we also propose *Joint Kernel Inducing Points* (JKIP) and *Average Conditional Kernel Inducing Points* (ACKIP), which *jointly* optimise the compressed set while maintaining linear complexity. Experiments show that directly preserving conditional distributions with ACKIP outperforms both joint distribution compression and the greedy selection used in ACKH. Moreover, we see that JKIP consistently outperforms JKH. Dominic Broadbent, Nick Whiteley, Robert Allison, Tom Lovett |
