We introduce fast algorithms for generalized unnormalized optimal transport. To handle densities with different total mass, we consider a dynamic model, which mixes the $L^p$ optimal transport with $L^p$ distance. For $p=1$, we derive the…

We consider a random walk $S_k$ with i.i.d. steps on a compact group equipped with a bi-invariant metric. We prove quantitative ergodic theorems for the sum $\sum_{k=1}^N f(S_k)$ with H\"older continuous test functions $f$, including the…

Motivated by a recent result of Daskalakis et al. 2018, we analyze the population version of Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for the case of \textit{truncated} mixtures of two Gaussians. Truncated samples from a $d$-dimensional…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold, $N\in \NN$ and $p\ge 1$. We prove that almost everywhere on $x=(x_1,...,x_N)\in M^N$ for Lebesgue measure in $M^N$, the measure $\di \mu(x)=\f1N\sum_{k=1}^N\d_{x_k}$ has a unique $p$-mean $e_p(x)$.…

The Wasserstein metric has become increasingly important in many machine learning applications such as generative modeling, image retrieval and domain adaptation. Despite its appeal, it is often too costly to compute. This has motivated…

Let $G$ be a connected compact group equipped with the normalised Haar measure $\mu$. Our first result shows that given $\alpha, \beta>0$, there is a constant $c = c(\alpha,\beta)>0$ such that for any compact sets $A,B\subseteq G$ with $…
