Graphical Optimal Transport
Description:
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...

Learned Adversarial Regularisers
Description:
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...

The Quadratic Wasserstein Metric for Inverse Data Matching Problems
Description:
This talk focus on two major effects of the quadratic Wasserstein (W2) distance as the measure of data discrepancy in computational solutions of inverse problems. First, we show, in the infinite-dimensional setup, that the W2 metric has a smoothing effect on the inversion process, making it robust against high-frequency noise in the data but lea...
