New Theory Explains Nonlinear CCA and Data Whitening

This paper introduces a theoretical framework for understanding nonlinear Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA). It establishes conditions under which nonlinear CCA can accurately identify underlying latent factors, extending classical statistical methods to representation learning. The research highlights the necessity of data whitening for stable learning and proves that ridge-regularized empirical CCA converges to its population counterpart, offering a rigorous foundation for recent correlation-based learning techniques.

    Provable Affine Identifiability of Nonlinear CCA under Latent Distributional Priors

    arXiv:2510.04758v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this work, we establish the sufficient conditions under which nonlinear Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) recovers ground-truth latent factors up to an affine transformation. By transporting the analysis from the observati…
