Researchers have developed an inductive framework for Gromov-Wasserstein multidimensional scaling (GW-MDS) that allows for mapping unseen samples, overcoming the transductive limitations of previous methods. This new approach, termed barycentric distillation, involves a GW-MDS "teacher" model that learns a latent space and an optimal transport plan from training data. A "student" neural network then learns an explicit out-of-sample mapping by converting the teacher's coupling into sample-aligned targets via barycentric projection. Experiments demonstrate that this distilled model effectively preserves the teacher's geometric properties on new data and outperforms direct neural GW training. AI
