| contents | In this paper, we present several novel representations of $α$-mutual information ($α$-MI) in terms of R{\' e}nyi divergence and conditional R{\' e}nyi entropy. The representations are based on the variational characterizations of $α$-MI using a reverse channel. Based on these representations, we provide several interpretations of the $α$-MI as privacy leakage measures using generalized mean and gain functions. Further, as byproducts of the representations, we propose novel conditional R{\' e}nyi entropies that satisfy the property that conditioning reduces entropy and data-processing inequality. |
