Abstract(in English) A determinantal point process (DPP) is a powerful probabilistic model that generates diverse random subsets from a ground set. Since a DPP is characterized by a positive de?nite kernel, a DPP on a ?nite ground set can be parameterized by a kernel matrix. Recently, DPPs have gained attention in the machine learning community and have been applied to various practical problems; however, there is still room for further research on the learning of DPPs. In this paper, we propose a simple learning rule for full-rank DPPs based on a minorization-maximization (MM) algorithm, which monotonically increases the likelihood in each iteration. We show that our minorizer of the MM algorithm provides a tighter lower-bound compared to an existing method locally. In our experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets, our method outperforms existing methods in most settings.
