We propose a fast algorithm for the calculation of the Wasserstein-1 distance, which is a particular type of optimal transport distance with homogeneous of degree one transport cost. Our algorithm is built on multilevel primal-dual…
An algorithm for approximating the p-Wasserstein distance between histograms defined on unstructured discrete grids is presented. It is based on the computation of a barycenter constrained to be supported on a low dimensional subspace,…
We propose a model of optimal parallel transport between vector fields on a connection graph, which consists of a weighted graph along with a map from its edges to an orthogonal group. Inspired by the well-known equivalence of 1-Wasserstein…
Suppose we are given two metric spaces and a family of continuous transformations from one to the other. Given a probability distribution on each of these two spaces - namely the source and the target measures - the Wasserstein alignment…
Recently used in various machine learning contexts, the Gromov-Wasserstein distance (GW) allows for comparing distributions whose supports do not necessarily lie in the same metric space. However, this Optimal Transport (OT) distance…
This work considers the problem of computing distances between structured objects such as undirected graphs, seen as probability distributions in a specific metric space. We consider a new transportation distance (i.e. that minimizes a…
The goal of this thesis is to study the use of the Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance as to build a descriptor of sample complexity in classification problems. The idea is to use the fact that the Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance is a metric in…
The Monge-Kantorovich problem for the infinite Wasserstein distance presents several peculiarities. Among them the lack of convexity and then of a direct duality. We study in dimension 1 the dual problem introduced by Barron, Bocea and…
We introduce a novel optimal transport framework for probabilistic circuits (PCs). While it has been shown recently that divergences between distributions represented as certain classes of PCs can be computed tractably, to the best of our…
We investigate the approximation of Monge--Kantorovich problems on general compact metric spaces, showing that optimal values, plans and maps can be effectively approximated via a fully discrete method. First we approximate optimal values…
Persistence diagrams (PD)s play a central role in topological data analysis. This analysis requires computing distances among such diagrams such as the $1$-Wasserstein distance. Accurate computation of these PD distances for large data sets…
Recent years have witnessed a tremendous growth using topological summaries, especially the persistence diagrams (encoding the so-called persistent homology) for analyzing complex shapes. Intuitively, persistent homology maps a potentially…
The Gromov-Wasserstein distance is a notable extension of optimal transport. In contrast to the classic Wasserstein distance, it solves a quadratic assignment problem that minimizes the pair-wise distance distortion under the transportation…
Wasserstein distances define a metric between probability measures on arbitrary metric spaces, including meta-measures (measures over measures). The resulting Wasserstein over Wasserstein (WoW) distance is a powerful, but computationally…
Distance measures between graphs are important primitives for a variety of learning tasks. In this work, we describe an unsupervised, optimal transport based approach to define a distance between graphs. Our idea is to derive…
This paper is devoted to the study of the Monge-Kantorovich theory of optimal mass transport and its applications, in the special case of one-dimensional and circular distributions. More precisely, we study the Monge-Kantorovich distances…
An analogue of the quadratic Wasserstein (or Monge-Kantorovich) distance between Borel probability measures on $\mathbf{R}^d$ has been defined in [F. Golse, C. Mouhot, T. Paul: Commun. Math. Phys. 343 (2015), 165-205] for density operators…
We introduce the observable Wasserstein distance, a framework for deriving lower bounds on the Wasserstein distance between probability measures on Polish metric spaces, designed to bypass the computational intractability of exact optimal…
We present a framework for embedding graph structured data into a vector space, taking into account node features and topology of a graph into the optimal transport (OT) problem. Then we propose a novel distance between two graphs, named…
We propose a novel method for comparing non-aligned graphs of different sizes, based on the Wasserstein distance between graph signal distributions induced by the respective graph Laplacian matrices. Specifically, we cast a new formulation…
