New Riemannian geometry for Sinkhorn divergence established

Researchers have developed a new framework for understanding the geometry of Sinkhorn divergence, a widely used measure in optimal transport. This work establishes a formal Riemannian structure and derives key geometric operations like geodesic and parallel transport equations. The findings also demonstrate that these operations lead to $\sqrt{n}$-limiting Gaussian processes for estimators, with consistent nonparametric bootstrap results. AI

IMPACT Establishes new theoretical foundations for geometric operations in optimal transport, potentially impacting future AI model development and analysis.

    Second-order Sinkhorn Geometry and $\sqrt{n}$-Inference

    arXiv:2610.36488v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Sinkhorn divergence, a debiased form of entropic optimal transport, has been widely used in various scientific disciplines due to its computational and statistical tractability. Unlike the Wasserstein distance, however, the Sink…
