Quantitative Convergence of Wasserstein Gradient Flows of Kernel Mean Discrepancies

Lénaïc Chizat, Maria Colombo, Roberto Colombo +1

We study the quantitative convergence of Wasserstein gradient flows of Kernel Mean Discrepancy (KMD) (also known as Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD)) functionals. Our setting covers…

Generic regularity of free boundaries in the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian

Matteo Carducci, Roberto Colombo

We establish generic regularity results of free boundaries for solutions of the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian . We prove that, for almost every obstacle, t…

Sharpness of the Osgood Criterion for the Continuity Equation with Divergence-free Vector Fields

Roberto Colombo, Anuj Kumar

For any modulus of continuity that fails the Osgood condition, we construct a divergence-free velocity field for which the associated ODE admits at least tw…

Partial regularity for minimizers of a class of discontinuous Lagrangians

Roberto Colombo

We study a one dimensional Lagrangian problem including the variational reformulation, derived in a recent work of Ambrosio-Baradat-Brenier, of the discrete Monge-Ampère gravitati…

Quantitative Local Convergence of Mean-Field Stein Variational Gradient Flow

Lénaïc Chizat, Maria Colombo, Roberto Colombo +1

Stein Variational Gradient Descent (SVGD) is a deterministic interacting-particle method for sampling from a target probability measure given access to its score function. In the m…

A deep scalable neural architecture for soil properties estimation from spectral information

Flavio Piccoli, Micol Rossini, Roberto Colombo +2

In this paper we propose an adaptive deep neural architecture for the prediction of multiple soil characteristics from the analysis of hyperspectral signatures. The proposed method…
