Robots are quickly becoming part of our everyday lives, but they’re often only programmed to perform specific tasks well. While harnessing recent advances in AI could lead to robots that could help in many more ways, progress in building general-purpose robots is slower in part because of the time needed to collect real-world training data. Our …

Monge, Bregman and Occam: Interpretable Optimal Transport in High-Dimensions with Feature-Sparse Maps

Optimal transport (OT) theory focuses, among all maps that can morph a probability measure onto another, on those that are the “thriftiest”, i.e. such that the averaged cost between and its image be as small as possible. Many computational approaches have been proposed to estimate such Monge maps when is the distance, e.g., using entropic …
