Gaussian field on the symmetric group: prediction and learning. (English) Zbl 1443.60035
Summary: In the framework of the supervised learning of a real function defined on an abstract space $$\mathcal{X}$$, Gaussian processes are widely used. The Euclidean case for $$\mathcal{X}$$ is well known and has been widely studied. In this paper, we explore the less classical case where $$\mathcal{X}$$ is the non commutative finite group of permutations (namely the so-called symmetric group $$S_N)$$. We provide an application to Gaussian process based optimization of Latin Hypercube Designs. We also extend our results to the case of partial rankings.
