Although it is often intuited as a metric or distance, the KL divergence is not a true metric — for example, it is not symmetric: the KL from P to Q is generally not the same as the KL from Q to P. However, its infinitesimal form, specifically its Hessian, is a metric tensor: it is the Fisher information metric.
