Biography Bregman was born and raised in Israel. He served in the Israel Defense Forces and as an artillery officer participated in the 1978 Litani campaign and the 1982 Lebanon War. After the war, he left the army to study international relations and political science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He also worked as a parliamentary assistant in the Knesset. After giving an interview in 1988 to the ''Haaretz'' newspaper declaring that he would refuse to serve as a military reservist in the Israeli-occupied territories, he left Israel and settled in England. There he joined the Department of War Studies, King's College London, and completed his PhD in 1994.

Surnames Of Jewish Origin
In many societies, a surname, family name, or last name is the mostly hereditary portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family. It is typically combined with a given name to form the full name of a person, although several given names and surnames are possible in the full name. In modern times most surnames are hereditary, although in most countries a person has a right to change their name. Depending on culture, the surname may be placed either at the start of a person's name, or at the end. The number of surnames given to an individual also varies: in most cases it is just one, but in Portuguese-speaking countries and many Spanish-speaking countries, two surnames (one inherited from the mother and another from the father) are used for legal purposes. Depending on culture, not all members of a family unit are required to have identical surnames. In some countries, surnames are modified depending on gender and family membership status of a person. Compound sur ...

Yiddish-language Surnames
Yiddish, historically Judeo-German, is a West Germanic language historically spoken by Ashkenazi Jews. It originated in 9th-century Central Europe, and provided the nascent Ashkenazi community with a vernacular based on High German fused with many elements taken from Hebrew (notably Mishnaic) and to some extent Aramaic. Most varieties of Yiddish include elements of Slavic languages and the vocabulary contains traces of Romance languages.Aram Yardumian"A Tale of Two Hypotheses: Genetics and the Ethnogenesis of Ashkenazi Jewry".University of Pennsylvania. 2013. Yiddish has traditionally been written using the Hebrew alphabet. Prior to World War II, there were 11–13 million speakers. 85% of the approximately 6 million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust were Yiddish speakers,Solomon Birnbaum, ''Grammatik der jiddischen Sprache'' (4., erg. Aufl., Hamburg: Buske, 1984), p. 3. leading to a massive decline in the use of the language. Assimilation following World War II and ''a ...

Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings
''Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings'' was Bing Crosby's sixth LP, his first album for Verve, recorded and released in a mono format in 1956. ''Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings'' was a stylistic departure for Crosby, marking the first time he recorded an album with an orchestra similar to '' Songs for Swingin' Lovers!'' by Frank Sinatra, an album recorded with Nelson Riddle and released earlier the same year by Capitol Records. The songs are also among the few that Crosby had never recorded. Buddy Bregman contributed the orchestrations, conducted a hand-picked group of Hollywood's foremost musicians, and came up with the idea of the album. In an interview with ''In Tune International'' magazine in 2001, Bregman said, "Yes, this was my idea. Bing was at the end of his long contract with Decca, and although he re-signed, it was on a non-exclusive basis, which meant he was free to record with whom he chose. I'd recently worked with Gary Crosby on a Decca session and become friendly w ...

Bregman Method
The Bregman method is an iterative algorithm to solve certain convex optimization problems involving regularization. The original version is due to Lev M. Bregman, who published it in 1967. The algorithm is a row-action method accessing constraint functions one by one and the method is particularly suited for large optimization problems where constraints can be efficiently enumerated. The algorithm works particularly well for regularizers such as the \ell_1 norm, where it converges very quickly because of an error-cancellation effect. Algorithm In order to be able to use the Bregman method, one must frame the problem of interest as finding \min_u J(u) + f(u), where J is a regularizing function such as \ell_1. The ''Bregman distance'' is defined as D^p(u, v) := J(u) - (J(v) + \langle p, u - v\rangle) where p belongs to the subdifferential of J at u (which we denoted \partial J(u)). One performs the iteration u_:= \min_u(\alpha D(u, u_k) + f(u)), with \alpha a constant to ...

Myriam Bregman
Myriam Bregman (born 25 February 1972) is an Argentine lawyer, activist, and politician. Raised in a Jewish family, Bregman joined the Socialist Workers' Party (PTS) – a Trotskyist Argentine party of which she is among the most prominent members – while studying a degree in law at the University of Buenos Aires in the 90s. She was one of the lawyers who took the case of Jorge Julio López, an eyewitness of the 1970s military dictatorship who disappeared in 2006 after testifying against Miguel Osvaldo Etchecolatz, who was sentenced to life imprisonment and charged with genocide accusations for the crimes he committed during the dictatorship. In 1997 she founded the Professionist Center for Human Rights (CeProDH), which defends and assesses laid off and unemployed workers and intervenes against repression and impunity, and the Justicia Ya! (Justice Now) Collective, who are appellants in cases of crimes against humanity during the dictatorship's regime of state terrorism. ...

Albert Bregman
Albert Stanley Bregman (September 15, 1936 – May 18, 2023) was a Canadian academic and researcher in experimental psychology, cognitive science, and Gestalt psychology, primarily in the perceptual organization of sound. Bregman was known for having defined and conceptually organized the field of auditory scene analysis (ASA) in his 1990 book, ''Auditory Scene Analysis: the perceptual Organization of Sound (MIT Press)''. His ideas about ASA have provided a new framework for research in the auditory systems of both humans and non-human animals, for behavioral and neurological studies of speech perception, for music theory, hearing aids, audio technology, and the separation of speech from other sounds by computers ( CASA). In acknowledgement of these contributions, he was called "the father of auditory scene analysis". Until his death, Bregman held a post-retirement appointment at the rank of emeritus professor in the Department of Psychology at McGill University. Arriving at Mc ...

Bregman Divergence
In mathematics, specifically statistics and information geometry, a Bregman divergence or Bregman distance is a measure of difference between two points, defined in terms of a strictly convex function; they form an important class of divergences. When the points are interpreted as probability distributions – notably as either values of the parameter of a parametric model or as a data set of observed values – the resulting distance is a statistical distance. The most basic Bregman divergence is the squared Euclidean distance. Bregman divergences are similar to metrics, but satisfy neither the triangle inequality (ever) nor symmetry (in general). However, they satisfy a generalization of the Pythagorean theorem, and in information geometry the corresponding statistical manifold is interpreted as a (dually) flat manifold. This allows many techniques of optimization theory to be generalized to Bregman divergences, geometrically as generalizations of least squares. Bregman ...
