Researchers have introduced a new advective Fisher-Rao metric designed for optimization tasks involving probability measures governed by the continuity equation. This metric is demonstrated to produce optimal descent directions and arises from three distinct viewpoints: the rescaled 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 metric effectively fits probability densities, contrasting with the Gauss--Newton method's focus on velocity fields. AI
