On Hölder projective divergences
We describe a framework to build distances by measuring the tightness of inequalities, and introduce the notion of proper statistical divergences and improper pseudo-divergences. We then consider the H\"older ordinary and reverse inequalities, and present two novel classes of H\"older divergences and pseudo-divergences that both encapsulate the special case of the Cauchy-Schwarz divergence. We report closed-form formulas for those statistical dissimilarities when considering distributions belonging to the same exponential family provided that the natural parameter space is a cone (e.g., multivariate Gaussians), or affine (e.g., categorical distributions). Those new classes of H\"older distances are invariant to rescaling, and thus do not require distributions to be normalized. Finally, we show how to compute statistical H\"older centroids with respect to those divergences, and carry out center-based clustering toy experiments on a set of Gaussian distributions that demonstrate empirically that symmetrized H\"older divergences outperform the symmetric Cauchy-Schwarz divergence.

Quadratic polarity and polar Fenchel-Young divergences from the canonical Legendre polarity
Polarity is a fundamental reciprocal duality of $n$-dimensional projective geometry which associates to points polar hyperplanes, and more generally $k$-dimensional convex bodies to polar $(n-1-k)$-dimensional convex bod…
Cramér-Rao Lower Bounds Arising from Generalized Csiszár Divergences
We study the geometry of probability distributions with respect to a generalized family of Csisz\'ar $f$-divergences. A member of this family is the relative $\alpha$-entropy which is also a R\'enyi analog of relative en…
Relationship 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 ruleUnfolder: Fast localization and image rectification of a document with a crease from folding in half
Presentation of folded documents is not an uncommon case in modern society. Digitizing such documents by capturing them with a smartphone camera can be tricky since a crease can divide the document contents into separate…
A Unified Framework of Elementary Geometric Transformation Representation
As an extension of projective homology, stereohomology is proposed via an extension of Desargues theorem and the extended Desargues configuration. Geometric transformations such as reflection, translation, central symmet…
