Dijkstra's algorithm is the standard method for computing shortest paths on arbitrary graphs. However, it is slow for large graphs, taking at least linear time. It has been long known that for real world road networks, creating a hierarchy…

Many numerical and learning algorithms rely on the solution of the Monge-Kantorovich problem and Wasserstein distances, which provide appropriate distributional metrics. While the natural approach is to treat the problem as an…

Wasserstein distances provide a powerful framework for comparing data distributions. They can be used to analyze processes over time or to detect inhomogeneities within data. However, simply calculating the Wasserstein distance or analyzing…

This paper contains two contributions in the study of optimal transport on metric graphs. Firstly, we prove a Benamou-Brenier formula for the Wasserstein distance, which establishes the equivalence of static and dynamical optimal transport.…

We study the reverse shortest path problem on disk graphs in the plane. In this problem we consider the proximity graph of a set of $n$ disks in the plane of arbitrary radii: In this graph two disks are connected if the distance between…

Optimal transportation distances are valuable for comparing and analyzing probability distributions, but larger-scale computational techniques for the theoretically favorable quadratic case are limited to smooth domains or regularized…

Optimal transport (OT) provides powerful tools for comparing probability measures in various types. The Wasserstein distance which arises naturally from the idea of OT is widely used in many machine learning applications. Unfortunately,…

We study the problem of reconstructing the latent geometry of a $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold from a random geometric graph. While recent works have made significant progress in manifold recovery from random geometric graphs, and more…

Wasserstein distance (WD) and the associated optimal transport plan have been proven useful in many applications where probability measures are at stake. In this paper, we propose a new proxy of the squared WD, coined min-SWGG, that is…

The Gromov--Wasserstein (GW) distance and its fused extension (FGW) are powerful tools for comparing heterogeneous data. Their computation is, however, challenging since both distances are based on non-convex, quadratic optimal transport…

We study transport distances on metric graphs representing gas networks. Starting from the dynamic formulation of the Wasserstein distance, we review extensions to networks, with and without the possibility of storing mass on the vertices.…

Wasserstein distance, which measures the discrepancy between distributions, shows efficacy in various types of natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV) applications. One of the challenges in estimating Wasserstein distance…

We provide explicit formulaes for the first Kantorovich-Wasserstein distance between stationary measures for iterated function scheme on the unit interval. In particular, we consider two stationary measures with different configurations of…

In this paper we propose an algorithm for aligning three-dimensional objects when represented as density maps, motivated by applications in cryogenic electron microscopy. The algorithm is based on minimizing the 1-Wasserstein distance…

Lung nodules are commonly detected in screening for patients with a risk for lung cancer. Though the status of large nodules can be easily diagnosed by fine needle biopsy or bronchoscopy, small nodules are often difficult to classify on…

Optimal transportation problem seeks for a coupling $\pi$ of two probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ which minimize the total cost $\int c d\pi$, which is linear in $\pi$. In this paper, we introduce a variation of optimal transportation…

The Gromov-Hausdorff distance $(d_{GH})$ proves to be a useful distance measure between shapes. In order to approximate $d_{GH}$ for compact subsets $X,Y\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, we look into its relationship with $d_{H,iso}$, the infimum…

We introduce the optimal transportation interpretation of the Kantorovich norm on thespace of signed Radon measures with finite mass, based on a generalized Wasserstein distancefor measures with different masses.With the formulation and the…

We introduce LOT Wassmap, a computationally feasible algorithm to uncover low-dimensional structures in the Wasserstein space. The algorithm is motivated by the observation that many datasets are naturally interpreted as probability…

Alternative novel measures of the distance between any two partitions of a n-set are proposed and compared, together with a main existing one, namely 'partition-distance' D(.,.). The comparison achieves by checking their restriction to…
