Connecting Jensen–Shannon and Kullback–Leibler Divergences: A New Bound for Representation Learning
NeurIPS 2025poster
Mutual Information (MI) is a fundamental measure of statistical dependence widely used in representation learning. While direct optimization of MI via its definition as a Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD) is often intractable, many recent methods have instead maximized alternative dependence measure…
