New research advances Partial Optimal Transport with accelerated algorithms

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Two new research papers explore advancements in Partial Optimal Transport (POT), a method that relaxes strict mass conservation constraints for broader applications. The first paper introduces an accelerated first-order algorithm using sparse and structured regularizers like elastic net, demonstrating improved performance in color transfer, domain adaptation, and point cloud registration. The second paper frames partial identification problems as multi-marginal entropic optimal transport problems, solvable via Sinkhorn iterations, offering a unified approach for statistical settings where model parameters are not uniquely identifiable.

    Partial identification with entropy regularized optimal transport

    arXiv:2609.40156v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In many statistical settings, the available data and maintained assumptions do not suffice to uniquely identify the model parameters of interest. In such cases, one can only identify sets which are guaranteed to contain the true p…
