Wasserstein Divergence for GANs

open access: yes, 2018
In many domains of computer vision, generative adversarial networks (GANs) have achieved great success, among which the family of Wasserstein GANs (WGANs) is considered to be state-of-the-art due to the theoretical contributions and competitive ...

On the Minimax Optimality of Estimating the Wasserstein Metric

open access: yesCoRR, 2019
We study the minimax optimal rate for estimating the Wasserstein-$1$ metric between two unknown probability measures based on $n$ i.i.d. empirical samples from them. We show that estimating the Wasserstein metric itself between probability measures, is not significantly easier than estimating the probability measures under the Wasserstein metric.

A note on the Bures-Wasserstein metric

open access: yes, 2023
In this brief note, it is shown that the Bures-Wasserstein (BW) metric on the space positive definite matrices lends itself to convex optimization. In other words, the computation of the BW metric can be posed as a convex optimization problem. In turn, this leads to efficient computations of (i) the BW distance between convex subsets of positive ...

2D Implementation of Kinetic‐Diffusion Monte Carlo in Eiron

open access: yesContributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Particle‐based kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of neutral particles are one of the major computational bottlenecks in tokamak scrape‐off layer simulations. This computational cost comes from the need to resolve individual collision events in high‐collisional regimes.

A View on Optimal Transport from Noncommutative Geometry

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2010
We discuss the relation between the Wasserstein distance of order 1 between probability distributions on a metric space, arising in the study of Monge-Kantorovich transport problem, and the spectral distance of noncommutative geometry.

Conditional Generative Modeling for Enhanced Credit Risk Management in Supply Chain Finance

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of cross‐border e‐commerce (CBEC) has created significant opportunities for small‐ and medium‐sized sellers, yet financing remains a critical challenge due to their limited credit histories. Third‐party logistics (3PL)‐led supply chain finance (SCF) has emerged as a promising solution, leveraging in‐transit inventory as ...

Data-driven Distributionally Robust Optimization Using the Wasserstein Metric: Performance Guarantees and Tractable Reformulations

open access: yes, 2017
We consider stochastic programs where the distribution of the uncertain parameters is only observable through a finite training dataset. Using the Wasserstein metric, we construct a ball in the space of (multivariate and non-discrete) probability ...

Conserving wildlife through demand reduction and supply alternatives: Two experiments in restaurants in Kinshasa

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract High aggregate levels of wildlife consumption in cities in Central Africa highlight the need for solutions that balance wildlife protection, local livelihoods and the relational values between people and nature. This study explores the impacts of demand‐ and supply‐side interventions on wild meat consumption through two randomized control ...

Application of the Wasserstein metric to seismic signals [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications in Mathematical Sciences, 2014
Seismic signals are typically compared using travel time difference or $L_2$ difference. We propose the Wasserstein metric as an alternative measure of fidelity or misfit in seismology. It exhibits properties from both of the traditional measures mentioned above. The numerical computation is based on the recent development of fast numerical methods for
