Deep Divergence Learning
Classical linear metric learning methods have recently been extended along two distinct lines: deep metric learning methods for learning embeddings of the data using neural networks, and Bregman divergence learning approaches for extending learning Euclidean distances to more general divergence measures such as divergences over distributions. In this paper, we introduce deep Bregman divergences, which are based on learning and parameterizing functional Bregman divergences using neural networks, and which unify and extend these existing lines of work. We show in particular how deep metric learning formulations, kernel metric learning, Mahalanobis metric learning, and moment-matching functions for comparing distributions arise as special cases of these divergences in the symmetric setting. We then describe a deep learning framework for learning general functional Bregman divergences, and show in experiments that this method yields superior performance on benchmark datasets as compared to existing deep metric learning approaches. We also discuss novel applications, including a semi-supervised distributional clustering problem, and a new loss function for unsupervised data generation.

Generalized Bregman and Jensen divergences which include some f-divergences
In this paper, we introduce new classes of divergences by extending the definitions of the Bregman divergence and the skew Jensen divergence. These new divergence classes (g-Bregman divergence and skew g-Jensen divergenc…
Sum decomposition of divergence into three divergences
Divergence functions play a key role as to measure the discrepancy between two points in the field of machine learning, statistics and signal processing. Well-known divergences are the Bregman divergences, the Jensen div…
BIG-bench Machine LearningRelationship between Hölder Divergence and Functional Density Power Divergence: Intersection and Generalization
In this study, we discuss the relationship between two families of density-power-based divergences with functional degrees of freedom -- the H\"{o}lder divergence and the functional density power divergence (FDPD) -- bas…
scoring ruleA note on the quasiconvex Jensen divergences and the quasiconvex Bregman divergences derived thereof
We first introduce the class of strictly quasiconvex and strictly quasiconcave Jensen divergences which are oriented (asymmetric) distances, and study some of their properties. We then define the strictly quasiconvex Bre…
A Unified Representation of Density-Power-Based Divergences Reducible to M-Estimation
Density-power-based divergences are known to provide robust inference procedures against outliers, and their extensions have been widely studied. A characteristic of successful divergences is that the estimation problem …
