We derive mean-field information Hessian matrices on finite graphs. The "information" refers to entropy functions on the probability simplex. And the "mean-field" means nonlinear weight functions of probabilities supported on graphs. These…
We construct a non-local Benamou-Brenier-type transport distance on the space of stationary point processes and analyse the induced geometry. We show that our metric is a specific variant of the transport distance recently constructed in…
We study Bregman divergences in probability density space embedded with the $L^2$-Wasserstein metric. Several properties and dualities of transport Bregman divergences are provided. In particular, we derive the transport Kullback-Leibler…
We propose a new approach to measuring the agreement between two oscillatory time series, such as seismic waveforms, and demonstrate that it can be employed effectively in inverse problems. Our approach is based on Optimal Transport theory…
