Abstract

With the increasing number of machine learning problems that are out of the linear and Gaussian paradigm, information theoretic learning (ITL) rises as a research field that proposes a modeling method with a wealthier statistical treatment of the adaptation criterion. In the first part of this tutorial, we introduce the main concepts of ITL and a key set of estimators that enable the implementation of algorithms, in the context of a wider view independent of the differentiability property.
