The \emph{Schr\"odinger problem} is obtained by replacing the mean square distance with the relative entropy in the Monge-Kantorovich problem. It was first addressed by Schr\"odinger as the problem of describing the most likely evolution of…
We propose a procedure for estimating the Schr\"odinger bridge between two probability distributions. Unlike existing approaches, our method does not require iteratively simulating forward and backward diffusions or training neural networks…
The article presents new entropic continuity bounds for conditional expectations and conditional covariance matrices. These bounds are expressed in terms of the relative entropy between different coupling distributions. Our approach…
In this article we study generalization of the classical Talagrand transport-entropy inequality in which the Wasserstein distance is replaced by the entropic transportation cost. This class of inequalities has been introduced in the recent…
We establish the stability of solutions to the entropically regularized optimal transport problem with respect to the marginals and the cost function. The result is based on the geometric notion of cyclical invariance and inspired by the…
We study the Schr\"odinger bridge problem when the endpoint distributions are available only through samples. Classical computational approaches estimate Schr\"odinger potentials via Sinkhorn iterations on empirical measures and then…
We investigate the quadratic Schr\"odinger bridge problem, a.k.a. Entropic Optimal Transport problem, and obtain weak semiconvexity and semiconcavity bounds on Schr\"odinger potentials under mild assumptions on the marginals that are…
This paper introduces a dynamic formulation of divergence-regularized optimal transport with weak targets on the path space. In our formulation, the classical relative entropy penalty is replaced by a general convex divergence, and terminal…
In this article we investigate entropic interpolations. These measure valued curves describe the optimal solutions of the Schr{\"o}dinger problem [Sch31], which is the problem of finding the most likely evolution of a system of independent…
The Schr\"odinger bridge problem (SBP) is gaining increasing attention in generative modeling and showing promising potential even in comparison with the score-based generative models (SGMs). SBP can be interpreted as an entropy-regularized…
We describe some analogy between optimal transport and the Schr\"odinger problem where the transport cost is replaced by an entropic cost with a reference path measure. A dual Kantorovich type formulation and a Benamou-Brenier type…
Motivated by modern machine learning applications where we only have access to empirical measures constructed from finite samples, we relax the marginal constraints of the classical Schr\"odinger bridge problem by penalizing the transport…
This paper exploit the equivalence between the Schr\"odinger Bridge problem and the entropy penalized optimal transport in order to find a different approach to the duality, in the spirit of optimal transport. This approach results in a…
In the recent years the Schr\"odinger problem has gained a lot of attention because of the connection, in the small-noise regime, with the Monge-Kantorovich optimal transport problem. Its optimal value, the \emph{entropic cost}…
Motivated by the connection between the Kyle equilibrium with static private signal and the Brownian bridge, we study a much broader class of bridges that allow one to consider more general equilibrium models, for example ones including…
The purpose of the present work is to expand substantially the type of control and estimation problems that can be addressed following the paradigm of Schr\"odinger bridges, by incorporating termination (killing) of stochastic flows.…
We review the derivation of quantum theory as an application of entropic methods of inference. The new contribution in this paper is a streamlined derivation of the Schr\"odinger equation based on a different choice of microstates and…
We develop a quantitative contraction framework for Schrodinger and Sinkhorn bridges based on transportation-cost inequalities and Riccati matrix difference equations. Our approach combines logarithmic Sobolev and Talagrand-type…
In this paper, we explore quantitative stability of multi-marginal Schr\"odinger bridges with respect to the marginal constraints. We focus on the case where the number of marginal constraints is large (i.e. ``many-marginals"). When this…
We show convergence of the gradients of the Schr\"odinger potentials to the Brenier map in the small-time limit under general assumptions on the marginals, which allow for unbounded densities and supports. Furthermore, we provide novel…
