A new research paper introduces a unified framework for analyzing statistical inference algorithms, focusing on the inclusive Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. The work establishes gradient-flow and probability density function (PDF) frameworks, demonstrating how maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) minimization can be viewed as inclusive KL inference. The paper also develops Fisher-Rao and Wasserstein-Fisher-Rao gradient flows for inclusive KL divergence and proposes a local-estimator Wasserstein gradient flow that improves algorithmic performance over MMD-based methods.
