New HELLO solver drastically improves large-scale optimal transport performance

Researchers have developed HELLO, a novel hierarchical solver designed to tackle large-scale optimal transport (OT) problems. This method casts OT as an edge localization task, utilizing dual potentials for both initialization and refinement. HELLO achieves significant runtime improvements and lower transport objectives compared to existing methods, even at the million-point scale across thousands of dimensions. The framework also demonstrates scalability to 1.28 million samples in 8192 dimensions on a single NVIDIA H100 GPU with manageable memory usage, while maintaining high precision. AI

IMPACT Introduces a more efficient method for optimal transport, potentially accelerating research and applications in machine learning that rely on distribution comparison and dataset alignment.

    Dual-guided Hierarchical Edge Localization for Large-scale Optimal Transport Across Dimensions

    arXiv:2609.13010v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimal transport (OT) compares distributions and aligns datasets in machine learning, yet unregularized discrete OT requires a linear program with quadratically many transport variables. We propose HELLO, a hierarchical solver that…
