Minimax quantum state estimation under Bregman divergence [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum, 2019
We investigate minimax estimators for quantum state tomography under general Bregman divergences. First, generalizing the work of Koyama et al. [Entropy 19, 618 (2017)] for relative entropy, we find that given any estimator for a quantum state, there ...

Information Geometry of Positive Measures and Positive-Definite Matrices: Decomposable Dually Flat Structure

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
Information geometry studies the dually flat structure of a manifold, highlighted by the generalized Pythagorean theorem. The present paper studies a class of Bregman divergences called the (ρ,τ)-divergence.

Preconditioner Design via the Bregman Divergence

open access: yesCoRR, 2023
We study a preconditioner for a Hermitian positive definite linear system, which is obtained as the solution of a matrix nearness problem based on the Bregman log determinant divergence. The preconditioner is of the form of a Hermitian positive definite matrix plus a low-rank matrix.

Bregman–Hausdorff Divergence: Strengthening the Connections Between Computational Geometry and Machine Learning

open access: yesMachine Learning and Knowledge Extraction
The purpose of this paper is twofold. On a technical side, we propose an extension of the Hausdorff distance from metric spaces to spaces equipped with asymmetric distance measures.

Families of Alpha- Beta- and Gamma- Divergences: Flexible and Robust Measures of Similarities

open access: yesEntropy, 2010
In this paper, we extend and overview wide families of Alpha-, Beta- and Gamma-divergences and discuss their fundamental properties. In literature usually only one single asymmetric (Alpha, Beta or Gamma) divergence is considered.

Probabilistic Forecasts: Scoring Rules and Their Decomposition and Diagrammatic Representation via Bregman Divergences

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
A scoring rule is a device for evaluation of forecasts that are given in terms of the probability of an event. In this article we will restrict our attention to binary forecasts.

Habitat loss reshuffles ecological and evolutionary interactions in a seed dispersal network

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
In tropical forests, habitat loss reshapes species composition, favoring generalists and recently emerged lineages while specialists and older evolutionary lineages are lost. However, how changes in species ecological attributes and evolutionary history affect ecological processes is poorly explored.

General H-theorem and Entropies that Violate the Second Law

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
H-theorem states that the entropy production is nonnegative and, therefore, the entropy of a closed system should monotonically change in time. In information processing, the entropy production is positive for random transformation of signals (the ...

Navigating Between the Scylla and Charybdis of Hype and Fear: Decolonizing ELT Materials Through Generative Artificial Intelligence

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite calls from critical applied linguists to decolonize ELT materials that reproduce colonial ideologies, teachers working under neoliberal constraints and attendant time pressures often have to deliver textbook content as is rather than revising it.
