The results are then applied to specific settings of interest and compared to other notable results in the literature. In particular, we show that the known bounds using Mutual Information can be improved by using, for example, Maximal Leakage, Hellinger divergence, or generalizations of the Hockey-Stick divergence.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.02557v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.02557v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"lower-bounds-on-the-bayesian-risk-in","repo_url":"https://github.com/Adirlou/f_divergences_lower_bounds","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
