The Bregman-Wasserstein divergence is the optimal transport cost when the underlying cost function is given by a Bregman divergence, and arises naturally in fields such as statistics and machine learning. We establish fundamental properties…
The plug-in estimator of the squared Euclidean 2-Wasserstein distance is conservative, however due to its large positive bias it is often uninformative. We eliminate most of this bias using a simple centering procedure based on linear…
