• Abstract: The signature kernel is a positive definite kernel for sequential and temporal data that has become increasingly popular in machine learning applications due to powerful theoretical guarantees, strong empirical performance, and recently introduced various scalable variations. In this chapter, we give a short introduction to $\texttt{KSig}$, a $\texttt{Scikit-Learn}$ compatible Python package that implements various GPU-accelerated algorithms for computing signature kernels, and performing downstream learning tasks. We also introduce a new algorithm based on tensor sketches which gives strong performance compared to existing algorithms. The package is available at https://github.com/tgcsaba/ksig.

  Large language models (LLMs) have become a significant workload since their appearance. They are also computationally expensive as they have billions of parameters and are trained with massive amounts of data. Recent works have developed dedicated kernels for LLM training and inference instead of relying on compilergenerated ones, so that hardware resources are as fully utilized as possible.

  kernel is especially important as other kernels can often be approximated by the kernel via a Taylor series expansion. Recent techniques in sketching reduce the dependence in the running time on the degree oblivious $q$ of the kernel. We give a new sketch which greatly improves upon this running time, by removing the dependence on $q$ in the leading order term.
