Researchers have introduced a new theoretical framework for approximating probability distributions using a finite set of points. Instead of attempting to globally minimize the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD), which is computationally challenging due to non-convexity, the study focuses on identifying and computing "stationary points" of the MMD. The paper demonstrates that these stationary points offer a faster convergence rate for numerical integration errors than the MMD itself, a phenomenon termed "super-convergence." AI
