We investigate the problem of optimal transport in the so-called Kantorovich form, i.e. given two Radon measures on two compact sets, we seek an optimal transport plan which is another Radon measure on the product of the sets that has these…
Joint distribution matching (JDM) problem, which aims to learn bidirectional mappings to match joint distributions of two domains, occurs in many machine learning and computer vision applications. This problem, however, is very difficult…

The Wasserstein-Fisher-Rao (WFR) distance on $S^{2}$ has recently been shown to coincide with a classical elastic distance between $S^{2}$-immersions in the theory of Riemannian shape analysis. While this correspondence holds in dimension…
