As a natural approach to modeling system safety conditions, chance constraint (CC) seeks to satisfy a set of uncertain inequalities individually or jointly with high probability. Although a joint CC offers stronger reliability certificate,…
In this paper we presents new deterministic approximations to the least square mean, also called geometric mean or barycenter of a finite collection of positive definite matrices. Let A1, A2, ..., Am be any elements of Md(C)+, where the set…
The sliced Wasserstein metric compares probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ by taking averages of the Wasserstein distances between projections of the measures to lines. The distance has found a range of applications in statistics and…
In this paper, we consider a probabilistic setting where the probability measures are considered to be random objects. We propose a procedure of construction non-asymptotic confidence sets for empirical barycenters in 2-Wasserstein space…
The aim of this paper is to prove the existence of minimizers for a variational problem involving the minimization under volume constraint of the sum of the perimeter and a non-local energy of Wasserstein type. This extends previous partial…
We study an isoperimetric problem described by a functional that consists of the standard Gaussian perimeter and the norm of the barycenter. This second term has a repulsive effect, and it is in competition with the perimeter. Because of…
A common method of comparing items is to collect numerical ratings on a linear scale and compare the average rating for each item. However, averaging ratings does not account for people rating according to differing personal rating scales.…

We determine the inner product on the Hilbert space of wavefunctions of the universe by imposing the Hermiticity of the quantum Hamiltonian in the context of the minisuperspace model. The corresponding quantum probability density reproduces…
In this paper we propose to perform model ensembling in a multiclass or a multilabel learning setting using Wasserstein (W.) barycenters. Optimal transport metrics, such as the Wasserstein distance, allow incorporating semantic side…
Borel probability measures living on metric spaces are fundamental mathematical objects. There are several meaningful distance functions that make the collection of the probability measures living on a certain space a metric space. We are…
Equilibrium multi-population matching (matching for teams) is a problem from mathematical economics which is related to multi-marginal optimal transport. A special but important case is the Wasserstein barycenter problem, which has…
We obtain an estimate for the expected subspace robust Wasserstein distance between any probability measure on the unit ball of a separable Hilbert space, and its empirical distribution from $n$ i.i.d. samples.
We present a method for computing an approximate Riemannian barycenter of a collection of points lying on a Riemannian manifold. Our approach relies on the use of theoretically proven under- and over-approximations of the Riemannian…
We show that the unitary operator on a separable Hilbert space is a parametrization of any conditional probability measure in a standard measure space. We propose unitary inference, a generalization of Bayesian inference. We study…
We generalize the notion and theory of Wasserstein barycenters introduced by Agueh and Carlier (2011) from the quadratic cost to general smooth strictly convex costs $h$ with non-degenerate Hessian. We show the equivalence between a coupled…
This note proves a result on the existence of barycenters in a class of uniformly convex geodesic spaces.
We show that if a discrete random measure on the unit ball of a separable Hilbert space satisfies the Ghirlanda-Guerra identities then by randomly deleting half of the points and renormalizing the weights of the remaining points we obtain…
For the iterations of $x\mapsto |x-\theta|$ random functions with Lipschitz number one, we represent the dynamics as a Markov chain and prove its convergence under mild conditions. We also demonstrate that the Wasserstein metric of any two…
We construct a system of interacting two-sided Bessel processes on the unit interval and show that the associated empirical measure process converges to the Wasserstein Diffusion, assuming that Markov uniqueness holds for the generating…
