New metric family optimizes covariance matrix calculations

A new research paper introduces a novel two-parameter family of Riemannian metrics for optimizing covariance matrices. This family encompasses common choices like Euclidean, Bures-Wasserstein, and affine-invariant metrics, offering a more generalized approach. The research analyzes the conditioning of the Riemannian Hessian and demonstrates that a specific parameter choice can optimize performance, with experimental results on real covariance data confirming these predictions.
