  • kernel → feature
  • mirror → gradient
  • Legendre → function ↔ gradient
and
  • kernel → representation geometry
  • preconditioning → optimization geometry
  • Hessian → local metric
A gradient method that uses a different geometry instead of Euclidean distance for updates

Dual space update like
Preconditioning

Dual space update is a "coordinate transformation-based update method" used in Mirror Descent
 
Mirror descent
In mathematics, mirror descent is an iterative optimization algorithm for finding a local minimum of a differentiable function.
