New spectral framework simplifies relative density estimation

Researchers have developed a new spectral framework for estimating relative log-densities in probabilistic models. This method represents the Kullback-Leibler divergence as an integral of weighted chi-squared divergences, transforming the estimation into a series of least-squares problems. The framework provides explicit spectral formulas for divergences and log-density potentials, which can be extended to various f-divergences and integrated with kernelization or neural network-based feature learning.

    A Spectral Framework for Closed-Form Relative Density Estimation

    We propose a closed-form spectral framework for relative log-density estimation in linearly parameterized probabilistic models, including unnormalized and conditional models. This is achieved by representing the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence as an integral of weighted chi-squa…
