The empirical optimal transport (OT) cost between two probability measures from random data is a fundamental quantity in transport based data analysis. In this work, we derive novel guarantees for its convergence rate when the involved…

A quadratic optimal transport metric on the set of probability measure over $\R^2$ is introduced. The quadratic cost is given by the euclidean norm on $\R^2$ associated to some well chosen symmetric positive matrix, which makes the metric…

Understanding the generalization of deep neural networks is one of the most important tasks in deep learning. Although much progress has been made, theoretical error bounds still often behave disparately from empirical observations. In this…

In this note, we derive upper-bounds on the statistical estimation rates of unbalanced optimal transport (UOT) maps for the quadratic cost. Our work relies on the stability of the semi-dual formulation of optimal transport (OT) extended to…

We consider the Random Euclidean Assignment Problem in dimension $d=1$, with linear cost function. In this version of the problem, in general, there is a large degeneracy of the ground state, i.e. there are many different optimal matchings…

We develop an $\e$-regularity theory at the boundary for a general class of Monge-Amp\`ere type equations arising in optimal transportation. As a corollary we deduce that optimal transport maps between H\"older densities supported on $C^2$…

We discuss methods of Optimal Transportation Theory and its relations to problems in quantum mechanics. This essentially means that the cost function is some Hamiltonian $H(q,p)$ on a phase space (symplectic manifold), and the marginal…

Probabilistic analysis for metric optimization problems has mostly been conducted on random Euclidean instances, but little is known about metric instances drawn from distributions other than the Euclidean. This motivates our study of…
