Cauchy Schwarz Divergence

Cauchy-Schwarz (CS) divergence is a statistical measure quantifying the difference between probability distributions, offering advantages over traditional metrics like Kullback-Leibler divergence, particularly in scenarios involving multiple distributions or conditional probabilities. Current research focuses on extending CS divergence to handle multiple distributions (generalized CS divergence) and conditional distributions (conditional CS divergence), finding applications in diverse machine learning tasks such as domain adaptation, clustering, and sequential decision-making. These advancements provide robust and computationally efficient tools for comparing distributions, improving the performance of various algorithms and broadening the applicability of deep learning models across different domains.
