Frobenius statistical manifolds & geometric invariants

Abstract

In this paper, we explicitly prove that statistical manifolds, related to exponential families and with flat structure connection have a Frobenius manifold structure. This latter object, at the interplay of beautiful interactions between topology and quantum field theory, raises natural questions, concerning the existence of Gromov--Witten invariants for those statistical manifolds. We prove that an analog of Gromov--Witten invariants for those statistical manifolds (GWS) exists. Similarly to its original version, these new invariants have a geometric interpretation concerning intersection points of para-holomorphic curves. However, it also plays an important role in the learning process, since it determines whether a system has succeeded in learning or failed.
