We introduce a new second order stochastic algorithm to estimate the entropically regularized optimal transport cost between two probability measures. The source measure can be arbitrary chosen, either absolutely continuous or discrete,…
We introduce and prove convergence of a damped Newton algorithm to approximate solutions of the semi-discrete optimal transport problem with storage fees, corresponding to a problem with hard capacity constraints. This is a variant of the…
Given a $d$-dimensional continuous (resp. discrete) probability distribution $\mu$ and a discrete distribution $\nu$, the semi-discrete (resp. discrete) Optimal Transport (OT) problem asks for computing a minimum-cost plan to transport mass…
This paper investigates the semi-discrete optimal transport (OT) problem with entropic regularization. We characterize the solution using a governing, well-posed ordinary differential equation (ODE). This naturally yields an algorithm to…
Semidiscrete optimal transport is a challenging generalization of the classical transportation problem in linear programming. The goal is to design a joint distribution for two random variables (one continuous, one discrete) with fixed…
Optimal transport maps and plans between two absolutely continuous measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ can be approximated by solving semi-discrete or fully-discrete optimal transport problems. These two problems ensue from approximating $\mu$ or both…
We propose and analyze a modified damped Newton algorithm to solve the semi-discrete optimal transport with storage fees. We prove global linear convergence for a wide range of storage fee functions, the main assumption being that each…
We study the existing algorithms that solve the multidimensional martingale optimal transport. Then we provide a new algorithm based on entropic regularization and Newton's method. Then we provide theoretical convergence rate results and we…
We derive nearly tight and non-asymptotic convergence bounds for solutions of entropic semi-discrete optimal transport. These bounds quantify the stability of the dual solutions of the regularized problem (sometimes called Sinkhorn…
In [19], a general, inexact, efficient proximal quasi-Newton algorithm for composite optimization problems has been proposed and a sublinear global convergence rate has been established. In this paper, we analyze the convergence properties…
Semi-discrete optimal transport problems, which evaluate the Wasserstein distance between a discrete and a generic (possibly non-discrete) probability measure, are believed to be computationally hard. Even though such problems are…
Entropic optimal transport (OT) and the Sinkhorn algorithm have made it practical for machine learning practitioners to perform the fundamental task of calculating transport distance between statistical distributions. In this work, we focus…
We study the problem of minimizing a sum of convex objective functions where the components of the objective are available at different nodes of a network and nodes are allowed to only communicate with their neighbors. The use of…
We present a numerical method to solve the optimal transport problem with a quadratic cost when the source and target measures are periodic probability densities. This method is based on a numerical resolution of the corresponding…
The problem of minimizing a sum of local convex objective functions over a networked system captures many important applications and has received much attention in the distributed optimization field. Most of existing work focuses on…
Motivated by economic dispatch and linearly-constrained resource allocation problems, this paper proposes a class of novel Distributed-Approx Newton algorithms that approximate the standard Newton optimization method. We first develop the…
Developing a contemporary optimal transport (OT) solver requires navigating trade-offs among several critical requirements: GPU parallelization, scalability to high-dimensional problems, theoretical convergence guarantees, empirical…
We study the semi-discrete formulation of one-dimensional partial optimal transport with quadratic cost, where a probability density is partially transported to a finite sum of Dirac masses of smaller total mass. This problem arises…
This chapter describes techniques for the numerical resolution of optimal transport problems. We will consider several discretizations of these problems, and we will put a strong focus on the mathematical analysis of the algorithms to solve…
Optimal Transport (OT) based distances are powerful tools for machine learning to compare probability measures and manipulate them using OT maps. In this field, a setting of interest is semi-discrete OT, where the source measure $\mu$ is…
