The families of f-divergences (e. g. the Kullback-Leibler divergence) and Integral Probability Metrics (e. g. total variation distance or maximum mean discrepancies) are commonly used in optimization and estimation.

The families of $f$-divergences (e. g. the Kullback-Leibler divergence) and Integral Probability Metrics (e. g. total variation distance or maximum mean discrepancies) are widely used to quantify the similarity between probability distributions.

Exact implementations of the proximal Robbins-Monro procedure are challenging, but we show that approximate implementations lead to procedures that are easy to implement, and still dominate classical procedures by achieving numerical stability, practically without tradeoffs.

In the Network Inference problem, one seeks to recover the edges of an unknown graph from the observations of cascades propagating over this graph.
