A New Interpretation of Symmetric Bregman Divergence
FrnkNlsn · x · 2026-07-10
The post points out that the symmetrized Bregman divergence is generally not a standard Bregman divergence, except in the generalized quadratic case. The author offers a new interpretation: by stacking dual parameters into a double-dimensional space and combining the sum of convex conjugates, this quantity can be understood as a "curved" Bregman divergence.
