We study first-order optimization algorithms for computing the barycenter of Gaussian distributions with respect to the optimal transport metric. Although the objective is geodesically non-convex, Riemannian GD empirically converges…
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…
Aggregating data from multiple sources can be formalized as an Optimal Transport (OT) barycenter problem, which seeks to compute the average of probability distributions with respect to OT discrepancies. However, in real-world scenarios,…
Wasserstein dictionary learning is an unsupervised approach to learning a collection of probability distributions that generate observed distributions as Wasserstein barycentric combinations. Existing methods for Wasserstein dictionary…
We propose a new \cu{class-optimal} algorithm for the distributed computation of Wasserstein Barycenters over networks. Assuming that each node in a graph has a probability distribution, we prove that every node can reach the barycenter of…
The optimal transportation problem defines a geometry of probability measures which leads to a definition for weighted averages (barycenters) of measures, finding application in the machine learning and computer vision communities as a…
Consider a multi-agent system whereby each agent has an initial probability measure. In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithm based upon stochastic, asynchronous and pairwise exchange of information and displacement interpolation…
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…
Optimal transport maps between two probability distributions $\mu$ and $\nu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ have found extensive applications in both machine learning and statistics. In practice, these maps need to be estimated from data sampled…
We study the entropic Gromov-Wasserstein and its unbalanced version between (unbalanced) Gaussian distributions with different dimensions. When the metric is the inner product, which we refer to as inner product Gromov-Wasserstein (IGW), we…
We propose the linear barycentric coding model (LBCM) which utilizes the linear optimal transport (LOT) metric for analysis and synthesis of probability measures. We provide a closed-form solution to the variational problem characterizing…
We consider robust variants of the standard optimal transport, named robust optimal transport, where marginal constraints are relaxed via Kullback-Leibler divergence. We show that Sinkhorn-based algorithms can approximate the optimal cost…
The purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic discussion of a generalized barycenter based on a variant of unbalanced optimal transport (UOT) that defines a distance between general non-negative, finitely supported measures by…
Computing Wasserstein barycenters (a.k.a. Optimal Transport barycenters) is a fundamental problem in geometry which has recently attracted considerable attention due to many applications in data science. While there exist polynomial-time…
We consider a multimarginal optimal transport, which includes as a particular case the Wasserstein barycenter problem. In this problem one has to find an optimal coupling between $m$ probability measures, which amounts to finding a tensor…
This paper presents an efficient algorithm for the progressive approximation of Wasserstein barycenters of persistence diagrams, with applications to the visual analysis of ensemble data. Given a set of scalar fields, our approach enables…
Entropic regularization provides a simple way to approximate linear programs whose constraints split into two or more tractable blocks. The resulting objectives are amenable to cyclic Kullback-Leibler (KL) Bregman projections, with…
Clustering is an important exploratory data analysis technique to group objects based on their similarity. The widely used $K$-means clustering method relies on some notion of distance to partition data into a fewer number of groups. In the…
This brief note aims to introduce the recent paradigm of distributional robustness in the field of shape and topology optimization. Acknowledging that the probability law of uncertain physical data is rarely known beyond a rough…
Exploiting the analogy between Gaussian Distributions and Gaussian Processes' posterior, we present how the weighted Wasserstein Barycenter of Gaussian Processes (W2BGP) can be used to unify, under a common framework, different exotic…
