The Fisher-Rao geometry of CES distributions
When dealing with a parametric statistical model, a Riemannian manifold can naturally appear by endowing the parameter space with the Fisher information metric. The geometry induced on the parameters by this metric is then referred to as the Fisher-Rao information geometry. Interestingly, this yields a point of view that allows for leveragingmany tools from differential geometry. After a brief introduction about these concepts, we will present some practical uses of these geometric tools in the framework of elliptical distributions. This second part of the exposition is divided into three main axes: Riemannian optimization for covariance matrix estimation, Intrinsic Cram\'er-Rao bounds, and classification using Riemannian distances.

Parametric information geometry with the package Geomstats
We introduce the information geometry module of the Python package Geomstats. The module first implements Fisher-Rao Riemannian manifolds of widely used parametric families of probability distributions, such as normal, g…
On Voronoi diagrams and dual Delaunay complexes on the information-geometric Cauchy manifolds
We study the Voronoi diagrams of a finite set of Cauchy distributions and their dual complexes from the viewpoint of information geometry by considering the Fisher-Rao distance, the Kullback-Leibler divergence, the chi s…
Fisher-Rao Gradient Flows of Linear Programs and State-Action Natural Policy Gradients
Kakade's natural policy gradient method has been studied extensively in recent years, showing linear convergence with and without regularization. We study another natural gradient method based on the Fisher information m…
Learning over von Mises-Fisher Distributions via a Wasserstein-like Geometry
We introduce a novel, geometry-aware distance metric for the family of von Mises-Fisher (vMF) distributions, which are fundamental models for directional data on the unit hypersphere. Although the vMF distribution is wid…
A Formalization of The Natural Gradient Method for General Similarity Measures
In optimization, the natural gradient method is well-known for likelihood maximization. The method uses the Kullback-Leibler divergence, corresponding infinitesimally to the Fisher-Rao metric, which is pulled back to the…
