Information Projection
A core concept in information geometry referring to finding the distribution closest to a reference distribution under given constraints, typically using KL divergence as the distance measure. It is used to complete aggregate constraints into full paths.
Timeline (last 90 days)
FIDE uses information projection to complete the aggregate constraints produced by each candidate design into a full dynamical path, that is, taking the frozen benchmark model as reference and selecting, among all possible paths satisfying the observation constraints, the path with the minimal correction relative to the benchmark.
The differentiability of the information projection relies on implicit differentiation of the first-order optimality conditions of the constrained optimization problem, thereby backpropagating the gradient of the projection result with respect to the design parameters; this is the mathematical basis that enables FIDE to perform gradient-based optimization.
