In [Q. Liao et al., Commun. Math. Sci., 20(2022)], a linear-time Sinkhorn algorithm is developed based on dynamic programming, which significantly reduces the computational complexity involved in solving optimal transport problems. However,…
Classical optimal transport problem seeks a transportation map that preserves the total mass betwenn two probability distributions, requiring their mass to be the same. This may be too restrictive in certain applications such as color or…

Covariate shift arises when covariate distributions differ between source and target populations while the conditional distribution of the response remains invariant, and it underlies problems in missing data and causal inference. We…
We provide a solution to the problem of optimal transport by Brownian martingales in general dimensions whenever the transport cost satisfies certain subharmonic properties in the target variable, as well as a stochastic version of the…

Optimal transport (OT) distances are increasingly used as loss functions for statistical inference, notably in the learning of generative models or supervised learning. Yet, the behavior of minimum Wasserstein estimators is poorly…
