Given two n-dimensional measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on Polish spaces, we propose an optimal transportation's formulation, inspired by classical Kan-torovitch's formulation in the scalar case. In particular, we established a strong duality…

This paper introduces Wasserstein variational inference, a new form of approximate Bayesian inference based on optimal transport theory. Wasserstein variational inference uses a new family of divergences that includes both f-divergences and…

We investigate a dynamic inverse problem using a regularization which implements the so-called Wasserstein-$1$ distance. It naturally extends well-known static problems such as lasso or total variation regularized problems to a (temporally)…
