Question 1: True or false

hardAI-checkedInformation Theory

The KL divergence is not symmetric in general. True or false: for two Gaussians with the same variance, P=N(μ1,σ2)P = \mathcal{N}(\mu_1, \sigma^2) and Q=N(μ2,σ2)Q = \mathcal{N}(\mu_2, \sigma^2), the two directions agree, DKL(P∥Q)=DKL(Q∥P)D_{\mathrm{KL}}(P \| Q) = D_{\mathrm{KL}}(Q \| P).
