New Observable Wasserstein Distance Framework for Non-Euclidean Datasets

Researchers have introduced the observable Wasserstein distance, a novel framework designed to provide lower bounds for the Wasserstein distance between probability measures. This method is particularly useful for large-scale, non-Euclidean datasets where exact optimal transport calculations are computationally prohibitive. By projecting measures onto the real line using 1-Lipschitz observables, the framework computes Wasserstein distances between pushforward distributions, offering a tunable trade-off between the accuracy of the lower bound and computational efficiency.
