We propose deep learning methods for classical Monge's optimal mass transportation problems, where where the distribution constraint is treated as penalty terms defined by the maximum mean discrepancy in the theory of Hilbert space…

We introduce a general notion of transport cost that encompasses many costs used in the literature (including the classical one and weak transport costs introduced by Talagrand and Marton in the 90's), and prove a Kantorovich type duality…

This paper characterizes convex information costs using an axiomatic approach. We employ mixture convexity and sub-additivity, which capture the idea that producing "balanced" outputs is less costly than producing ``extreme'' ones. Our…
