I will discuss how to build a smooth multiscale wavelet packet dictionary for graph signal processing. Our approach utilizes the dual geometry of an input graph organized by new non-trivial eigenvector distances. More precisely, we construct a dual graph where each node represents a Laplacian eigenvector of the input graph and each weight is an ...

Over the past ten years, optimal transport has become a fundamental tool in statistics and machine learning: the Wasserstein metric provides a new notion of distance for classifying distributions and a rich geometry for interpolating between them. In parallel, optimal transport has led to new theoretical results on the stability and long time be...

For the last couple of decades, most industries have grown to take advantage of the information gained from data collection. As that happened, professional sports teams started to catch on. Baseball took the lead thanks to the amount of data collected over the years, which dates to the 1800s, but a lot of other professional sports followed and p...

The dependence on available information is known to vanish for many `mean field' control problems. We investigate the role that information plays in the fluctuations about these mean field limits. In particular, we show how the fluctuations can be calculated efficiently for discrete mean field control problems with partial information, even when...

The area known as "online machine learning" considers problems where data becomes available sequentially and a prediction must be made at each time based on the information then available. In the model problem known as "prediction with expert advice," a "predictor" has access to guidance from N "experts," whose outcomes are chosen by an "adversa...

We will see how optimal transport can be seen as a stochastic optimization problem, which allows to leverage stochastic gradient methods to solve related problems. Aside from an efficient online estimation of optimal transport distances, these methods can also be extended to compute Wasserstein barycenters without relying on discretization of th...

Discretized Langevin diffusions are efficient Monte Carlo methods for sampling from high dimensional target densities that are log-Lipschitz-smooth and (strongly) log-concave. In particular, the Euclidean Langevin Monte Carlo sampling algorithm has received much attention lately, leading to a detailed understanding of its non-asymptotic converge...
In this work we discuss the problem of active learning. We present an approach 2 that is based on A-optimal experimental design of ill-posed problems and show 3 how one can optimally label a data set by partially probing it, and use it to train 4 a deep network. We present two approaches that make different assumptions on 5 the data set. The fir...

In this talk I will introduce the back-and-forth method, a new algorithm to efficiently solve the optimal transportation problem for a general class of strictly convex transportation costs. Given two probability measures supported on a discrete grid with n points, the method computes the optimal map in O(n log(n)) operations using O(n) storage s...

A fundamental application for optimal control of physical flows on networks is the operation of large-scale natural gas transmission pipelines. A control system model has been developed for the distributed dynamics of compressible gas flow through large-scale pipeline networks with time-varying injections, withdrawals, and control actions of com...

We propose an alternative to the standard Wasserstein barycenter problem for probability distributions, based on optimal weak mass transport, more precisely, on martingale optimal transport. The main advantage of our proposal, termed weak barycenter, is that it provides a framework for the aggregation of a set of probability measures, analogous ...

We study the problem of prediction of binary sequences with expert advice in the online setting, which is a classic example of online machine learning. We interpret the binary sequence as the price history of a stock, and view the predictor as an investor, which converts the problem into a stock prediction problem. In this framework, an investor...

We consider the maximum mean discrepancy MMD GAN problem and propose a parametric kernelized gradient flow that mimics the min-max game in gradient regularized MMD GAN. We show that this flow provides a descent direction minimizing the MMD on a statistical manifold of probability distributions. We then derive an explicit condition which ensures ...

Multi-marginal optimal transport (MOT) is a generalization of optimal transport theory to settings with possibly more than two marginals. The computation of the solutions to MOT problems has been a longstanding challenge. In this talk, we introduce graphical optimal transport, a special class of MOT problems. We consider MOT problems from a prob...

In this talk we review some recent advances in the derivation of data-driven regularisers for inverse problems. We are in particular interested in those which are represented by a neural network and which are trained using an unsupervised, adversarial loss. The latter has links to optimal transport as the loss is derived as an approximation to t...
