Developing novel information theoretic discrepancy measures

About the project

Machine learning increasingly needs to deal with new types of data, needs new ways to incorporate a priori knowledge for better generalization and explainability, and needs to discover causal relationships. A key research question for this project is: How do we develop novel measures of discrepancy or divergence to best capture information in data for efficient neural networks learning?
