Progressive Entropic Optimal Transport Solvers

Optimal transport (OT) has profoundly impacted machine learning by providing theoretical and computational tools to realign datasets. In this context, given two large point clouds of sizes nnn and mmm in Rdmathbb{R}^dRd, entropic OT (EOT) solvers have emerged as the most reliable tool to either solve the Kantorovich problem and output a n×mntimes mn×m coupling matrix, or to solve the Monge problem and learn a vector-valued push-forward map. While the robustness of EOT couplings/maps makes them a go-to choice in practical applications, EOT solvers remain difficult to tune because of a small…

GENOT: Entropic (Gromov) Wasserstein Flow Matching with Applications to Single-Cell Genomics

Single-cell genomics has significantly advanced our understanding of cellular behavior, catalyzing innovations in treatments and precision medicine. However, single-cell sequencing technologies are inherently destructive and can only measure a limited array of data modalities simultaneously. This limitation underscores the need for new methods capable of realigning cells. Optimal transport (OT)…

Low-Rank Optimal Transport: Approximation, Statistics and Debiasing

The matching principles behind optimal transport (OT) play an increasingly important role in machine learning, a trend which can be observed when OT is used to disambiguate datasets in applications (e.g. single-cell genomics) or used to improve more complex methods (e.g. balanced attention in transformers or self-supervised learning). To scale…

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…
