for article titled, A Note on Divergences
In many areas of neural computation, like learning, optimization, estimation, and inference, suitable divergences play a key role. In this note, we study the conjecture presented by Amari ( 2009 ) and find a counterexample to show that the conjecture does not hold generally. Moreover, we investigate two classes of -divergence (Zhang, 2004 ), weighted f -divergence and weighted -divergence, and prove that if a divergence is a weighted f -divergence, as well as a Bregman divergence, then it is a weighted -divergence. This result reduces in form to the main theorem established by Amari ( 2009 ) when .
