We study the logarithmic $L^{(\alpha)}$-divergence which extrapolates the Bregman divergence and corresponds to solutions to novel optimal transport problems. We show that this logarithmic divergence is equivalent to a conformal…
In information geometry, generalized exponential families and statistical manifolds with curvature are under active investigation in recent years. In this paper we consider the statistical manifold induced by a logarithmic…
In the field of statistics, many kind of divergence functions have been studied as an amount which measures the discrepancy between two probability distributions. In the differential geometrical approach in statistics (information…
A function is exponentially concave if its exponential is concave. We consider exponentially concave functions on the unit simplex. In a previous paper we showed that gradient maps of exponentially concave functions provide solutions to a…
The logarithmic divergence is an extension of the Bregman divergence motivated by optimal transport and a generalized convex duality, and satisfies many remarkable properties. Using the geometry induced by the logarithmic divergence, we…
We propose a new family of regularized R\'enyi divergences parametrized not only by the order $\alpha$ but also by a variational function space. These new objects are defined by taking the infimal convolution of the standard R\'enyi…
Exponential families are statistical models which are the workhorses in statistics, information theory, and machine learning among others. An exponential family can either be normalized subtractively by its cumulant or free energy function…
The Bregman-Wasserstein divergence is the optimal transport cost when the underlying cost function is given by a Bregman divergence, and arises naturally in fields such as statistics and machine learning. We establish fundamental properties…
A loss function measures the discrepancy between the true values and their estimated fits, for a given instance of data. In classification problems, a loss function is said to be proper if a minimizer of the expected loss is the true…
The aim of this work is to establish that two recently published projection theorems, one dealing with a parametric generalization of relative entropy and another dealing with R\'{e}nyi divergence, are equivalent under a correspondence on…
Optimal transport and information geometry both study geometric structures on spaces of probability distributions. Optimal transport characterizes the cost-minimizing movement from one distribution to another, while information geometry…
Projection theorems of divergences enable us to find reverse projection of a divergence on a specific statistical model as a forward projection of the divergence on a different but rather "simpler" statistical model, which, in turn, results…
Divergence functions are interesting discrepancy measures. Even though they are not true distances, we can use them to measure how separated two points are. Curiously enough, when they are applied to random variables, they lead to a notion…
This paper studies forward and reverse projections for the R\'{e}nyi divergence of order $\alpha \in (0, \infty)$ on $\alpha$-convex sets. The forward projection on such a set is motivated by some works of Tsallis {\em et al.} in…
This paper develops systematic approaches to obtain $f$-divergence inequalities, dealing with pairs of probability measures defined on arbitrary alphabets. Functional domination is one such approach, where special emphasis is placed on…
Many problems in machine learning can be formulated as optimizing a convex functional over a vector space of measures. This paper studies the convergence of the mirror descent algorithm in this infinite-dimensional setting. Defining Bregman…
Information geometry applies concepts in differential geometry to probability and statistics and is especially useful for parameter estimation in exponential families where parameters are known to lie on a Riemannian manifold. Connections…
Optimal transportation distances are valuable for comparing and analyzing probability distributions, but larger-scale computational techniques for the theoretically favorable quadratic case are limited to smooth domains or regularized…
The Bregman divergence (Bregman distance, Bregman measure of distance) is a certain useful substitute for a distance, obtained from a well-chosen function (the "Bregman function"). Bregman functions and divergences have been extensively…
Regularized optimal transport (OT) has received much attention in recent years starting from Cuturi's introduction of Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence regularized OT. In this paper, we propose regularizing the OT problem using the family of…
