We consider the population Wasserstein barycenter problem for random probability measures supported on a finite set of points and generated by an online stream of data. This leads to a complicated stochastic optimization problem where the…
A robust clustering method for probabilities in Wasserstein space is introduced. This new "trimmed $k$-barycenters" approach relies on recent results on barycenters in Wasserstein space that allow intensive computation, as required by…
We study a general formulation of regularized Wasserstein barycenters that enjoys favorable regularity, approximation, stability and (grid-free) optimization properties. This barycenter is defined as the unique probability measure that…
This paper considers the relaxed Peaceman-Rachford (PR) splitting method for finding an approximate solution of a monotone inclusion whose underlying operator consists of the sum of two maximal strongly monotone operators. Using general…
This work presents an algorithm to sample from the Wasserstein barycenter of absolutely continuous measures. Our method is based on the gradient flow of the multimarginal formulation of the Wasserstein barycenter, with an additive…
We propose an efficient federated dual decomposition algorithm for calculating the Wasserstein barycenter of several distributions, including choosing the support of the solution. The algorithm does not access local data and uses only…
We study in this paper a variant of Wasserstein barycenter problem, which we refer to as tree-Wasserstein barycenter, by leveraging a specific class of ground metrics, namely tree metrics, for Wasserstein distance. Drawing on the tree…
The optimal transport barycenter (a.k.a. Wasserstein barycenter) is a fundamental notion of averaging that extends from the Euclidean space to the Wasserstein space of probability distributions. Computation of the unregularized barycenter…
Wasserstein barycenter, built on the theory of optimal transport, provides a powerful framework to aggregate probability distributions, and it has increasingly attracted great attention within the machine learning community. However, it…
Wasserstein Barycenter Problem (WBP) has recently received much attention in the field of artificial intelligence. In this paper, we focus on the decentralized setting for WBP and propose an asynchronous decentralized algorithm (A$^2$DWB).…
Equilibrium multi-population matching (matching for teams) is a problem from mathematical economics which is related to multi-marginal optimal transport. A special but important case is the Wasserstein barycenter problem, which has…
Wasserstein distance plays increasingly important roles in machine learning, stochastic programming and image processing. Major efforts have been under way to address its high computational complexity, some leading to approximate or…
The Wasserstein metric is broadly used in optimal transport for comparing two probabilistic distributions, with successful applications in various fields such as machine learning, signal processing, seismic inversion, etc. Nevertheless, the…
We develop a general theoretical and algorithmic framework for sparse approximation and structured prediction in $\mathcal{P}_2(\Omega)$ with Wasserstein barycenters. The barycenters are sparse in the sense that they are computed from an…
Scenario tree reduction techniques are essential for achieving a balance between an accurate representation of uncertainties and computational complexity when solving multistage stochastic programming problems. In the realm of available…
Inspired by recent advances in distributed algorithms for approximating Wasserstein barycenters, we propose a novel distributed algorithm for this problem. The main novelty is that we consider time-varying computational networks, which are…
In this paper, we introduce a simple methodology to leverage strong convexity and smoothness in order to obtain an optimal linear convergence rate for the Peaceman--Rachford splitting (PRS) scheme applied to optimization problems involving…
Wasserstein barycenters provide a geometric notion of the weighted average of probability measures based on optimal transport. In this paper, we present a scalable algorithm to compute Wasserstein-2 barycenters given sample access to the…
Optimal transport is a foundational problem in optimization, that allows to compare probability distributions while taking into account geometric aspects. Its optimal objective value, the Wasserstein distance, provides an important loss…
