Divergences are measures of comparison between distributions:

   cross_entropy
   kullback_leibler_divergence
   jensen_shannon_divergence
   earth_movers_distance
   coupling_metrics
   copy_mutual_information

While the cross entropy and the Kullback-Leibler divergence are not true metrics (they are not symmetric), the square root of the Jensen-Shannon divergence is.
