  • Refresher on entropy, mutual information, KL-distance, Legendre-Fenchel duality: how it generalizes linear duality
  • Bregman distances: generalization of projective duality, Voronoi diagrams
  • Bregman distances and exponential families: the Cramer transform
  • Csiszar and information distances
  • Information distances and inference (Chernoff, Bhattacharya, KL, Jensen-Shannon)
  • Mutual information geometry (?): embedding information distances, hellinger, jeffrey's prior
  • Amari-style geometry: Cramer Rao theorem reinterpreted via Efron/Dawid as a statement about curvature
  • Cencov's result: Fisher information as a "geometric invariant" under markov transforms
  • alpha - divergences
  • Jun Yang paper on the representability of bregman distances.
