New estimators advance unbalanced optimal transport statistics

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed new estimators for unbalanced optimal transport, a statistical method that extends classical optimal transport to measures with differing total masses. The study focuses on quadratic costs and Kullback-Leibler marginal penalties, proposing that the target should be a transport-growth pair rather than just a map. The proposed estimators achieve minimax optimal rates, providing a statistical foundation for estimation in this area. AI

IMPACT Advances statistical guarantees for unbalanced optimal transport, potentially improving machine learning models that rely on such methods.

    Minimax Optimal Estimation of Transport-Growth Pairs in Unbalanced Optimal Transport

    Unbalanced optimal transport (UOT) extends classical optimal transport to measures with different total masses, but statistical guarantees for Monge-type estimation remain limited. We study unbalanced transport with quadratic cost and Kullback-Leibler marginal penalties and argue…
