DESCRIPTION:In this RCC we will look at Bregman Divergences. I will descri
 be the Bregman divergence and its properties and examine their relationshi
 p with exponential family distributions. I will also look at algorithms us
 ing Bregman divergences for clustering and other applications.\n\nThe disc
 ussion in mainly based on the paper: "Clustering with Bregman Divergences"
 \, JMLR 6\, 2005\nhttp://jmlr.csail.mit.edu/papers/volume6/banerjee05b/ban
 erjee05b.pdf\n\nOther related papers that I will reference include:\n"Matr
 ix Nearness Problems with Bregman Divergences" http://authors.library.calt
 ech.edu/9428/\n\n"Learning Continuous Latent Variable Models with Bregman 
 Divergences" http://www.springerlink.com/index/EHVDW71HTL8E05B3.pdf\n\n"A
