Abstract

We discuss Bregman divergences and the very close relationship between a class of these divergences and the regular family of exponential distributions before applying them to various topology preserving dimension reducing algorithms. We apply these methods to identification of structure in magnetic resonance images of the brain and show that different divergences reveal different structure in these images.
