We introduce the Mondrian kernel, a fast random feature approximation to the Laplace kernel. It is suitable for both batch and online learning, and admits a fast kernel-width-selection procedure as the random features can be re-used efficiently for all kernel widths. The features are constructed by sampling trees via a Mondrian process [Roy and Teh, 2009], and we highlight the connection to Mon...

We present the robotics platform JacksonBot which is capable to produce paintings inspired by the Action Painting style of Jackson Pollock. A dynamically moving robot arm splashes color from a container at the end effector on the canvas. The paintings produced by this platform rely on a combination of the algorithmic generation of robot arm motions with random effects of the splashing color. Th...

This report is concerned with the Mondrian process [1] and its applications in machine learning. The Mondrian process is a guillotine-partition-valued stochastic process that possesses an elegant self-consistency property. The first part of the report uses simple concepts from applied probability to define the Mondrian process and explore its properties. The Mondrian process has been used as th...

Abstract Cadmium red is the name used for denoting a class of twentieth century artists’ pigments described by general formula CdS 1− x Se . For their vibrant hues and excellent covering power, number renowned modern contemporary painters, including Jackson Pollock, often cadmium reds. As direct band gap semiconductors, compounds undergo radiative recombination (with emissions from green to ora...

Mathematics and painting are interrelated in many ways. At a technical level mathematics can be used to enhance our appreciation of paintings. This was recently demonstrated beautifully by Taylor, Micolich, and Jones in their analysis of Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings, which led them to the conclusion that Pollock’s paintings are in a way Ž gurative pictures. Relations also exist at a more ba...

From Paleolithic cave paintings to Baroque Florence’s Artemisia Gentileschi, scholars have uncovered many cases in which women’s art was credited to their male contemporaries. This reoccurring dynamic communicates a cultural attitude of explicit disbelief in female abilities known as classical sexism. Even today, this trend persists as female artists’ work is continually dismissed as derivative...
