Researchers have introduced a new advective Fisher-Rao metric designed for optimization tasks involving probability measures governed by the continuity equation. This metric has been demonstrated to provide optimal descent directions and arises from three distinct theoretical viewpoints: the zero-noise limit of the Fisher-Rao metric on path measures, the expected value of the second variation of the Freidlin--Wentzell large deviation rate functional, and the Hessian of the Benamou--Brenier action functional from dynamic optimal transport. Computational experiments confirm that this advective Fisher-Rao metric effectively fits probability densities, outperforming the Gauss-Newton method which optimizes velocity fields. AI
