The paper investigates the convergence of Vendi scores under finite samples and introduces a truncated version for better performance.
problem The Vendi score's convergence is hindered by computational limitations when using large sample sizes.
method The authors introduce the t-truncated Vendi score to address this issue by truncating the eigenspectrum of the kernel matrix.
result The t-truncated Vendi score converges to its asymptotic limit with a smaller number of samples, improving upon the standard Vendi score.
