Query: A scaled Bregman theorem with applications   Bregman divergences play a central role in the design and analysis of a range
of machine learning algorithms. This paper explores the use of Bregman
divergences to establish reductions between such algorithms and their analyses.
We present a new scaled isodistortion theorem involving Bregman divergences
(scaled Bregman theorem for short) which shows that certain "Bregman
distortions'" (employing a potentially non-convex generator) may be exactly
re-written as a scaled Bregman divergence computed over transformed data.
Admissible distortions include geodesic distances on curved manifolds and
projections or gauge-normalisation, while admissible data include scalars,
vectors and matrices.
  Our theorem allows one to leverage to the wealth and convenience of Bregman
divergences when analysing algorithms relying on the aforementioned Bregman
distortions. We illustrate this with three novel applications of our theorem: a
reduction from multi-class density ratio to class-probability estimation, a new
adaptive projection free yet norm-enforcing dual norm mirror descent algorithm,
and a reduction from clustering on flat manifolds to clustering on curved
manifolds. Experiments on each of these domains validate the analyses and
suggest that the scaled Bregman theorem might be a worthy addition to the
popular handful of Bregman divergence properties that have been pervasive in
machine learning.
