I was reading about different distribution distances, and came across

  • Kullback-Leibler divergence
  • Jensen-Shannon divergence
  • Wasserstein distance
  • Maximum mean discrepancy (MMD)

The book was too abstract for me to absorb. What are the differences between them, actually?

    $\begingroup$ Do you care about those four distances specifically or are you asking about distances in general and why there are multiple? $\endgroup$
