An adaptive, adversarial methodology is developed for the optimal transport problem between two distributions $\mu$ and $\nu$, known only through a finite set of independent samples $(x_i)_{i=1..N}$ and $(y_j)_{j=1..M}$. The methodology…

Optimal transport (OT) theory focuses, among all maps $T:\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^d$ that can morph a probability measure onto another, on those that are the ``thriftiest'', i.e. such that the averaged cost $c(x, T(x))$ between…
