Rényi Divergence Variational Inference
This paper introduces the variational Rényi bound (VR) that extends traditional variational inference to Rényi’s α-divergences. This new family of variational methods unifies a number of existing approaches, and enables a smooth interpolation from the evidence lower-bound to the log (marginal) likelihood that is controlled by the value of α that parametrises the divergence. The reparameterizati...
متن کاملPAC-Bayesian Bounds based on the Rényi Divergence
We propose a simplified proof process for PAC-Bayesian generalization bounds, that allows to divide the proof in four successive inequalities, easing the “customization” of PAC-Bayesian theorems. We also propose a family of PAC-Bayesian bounds based on the Rényi divergence between the prior and posterior distributions, whereas most PACBayesian bounds are based on the KullbackLeibler divergence....
متن کاملRényi divergence and majorization
Rényi divergence is related to Rényi entropy much like information divergence (also called Kullback-Leibler divergence or relative entropy) is related to Shannon’s entropy, and comes up in many settings. It was introduced by Rényi as a measure of information that satisfies almost the same axioms as information divergence. We review the most important properties of Rényi divergence, including it...
متن کاملRényi Divergence and Kullback-Leibler Divergence
Rényi divergence is related to Rényi entropy much like Kullback-Leibler divergence is related to Shannon’s entropy, and comes up in many settings. It was introduced by Rényi as a measure of information that satisfies almost the same axioms as Kullback-Leibler divergence, and depends on a parameter that is called its order. In particular, the Rényi divergence of order 1 equals the Kullback-Leibl...
متن کاملProjection Theorems for the Rényi Divergence on $α$-Convex Sets
This paper studies forward and reverse projections for the Rényi divergence of order α ∈ (0,∞) on α-convex sets. The forward projection on such a set is motivated by some works of Tsallis et al. in statistical physics, and the reverse projection is motivated by robust statistics. In a recent work, van Erven and Harremoës proved a Pythagorean inequality for Rényi divergences on α-convex sets und...
