• Support Distribution Machines (2012, methodology): “, 2009), and Rényi divergence estimation (Póczos and Schneider, 2011), we show how to estimate Dα,β(p∥q) in an efficient, nonparametric, and consistent way.”
• A closed-form expression for the Sharma–Mittal entropy of exponential families (2011, background): “The underlying distribution is usually not explicitly given so that we first need to estimate the distribution or related quantities like its entropy [10].”
