Enhancing time-frequency resolution with optimal transport and barycentric fusion of multiple spectrogram

David Valdivia, Elsa Cazelles, Cédric Févotte

Time-frequency representations, such as the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), are fundamental tools for analyzing non-stationary signals. However, their ability to achieve sharp…

Statistical Estimation of Monge Transport Maps via Brenier Potentials

Elsa Cazelles, Edouard Pauwels, Léo Portales

We introduce and analyze a statistical estimator for Monge transport maps: solutions to the quadratic optimal transport problem in the Euclidean space. For absolutely continuous so…

PCA of probability measures: Sparse and Dense sampling regimes

Gachon Erell, Jérémie Bigot, Elsa Cazelles

A common approach to perform PCA on probability measures is to embed them into a Hilbert space where standard functional PCA techniques apply. While convergence rates for estimatin…

Efficient Gaussian process learning via subspace projections

Elsa Cazelles, Felipe Tobar

We propose a novel training objective for GPs constructed using lower-dimensional linear projections of the data, referred to as \emph{projected likelihood} (PL). We provide a clos…

Busemann Functions in the Wasserstein Space: Existence, Closed-Forms, and Applications to Slicing

Clément Bonet, Elsa Cazelles, Lucas Drumetz +1

The Busemann function has recently found much interest in a variety of geometric machine learning problems, as it naturally defines projections onto geodesic rays of Riemannian man…

On the Wasserstein Geodesic Principal Component Analysis of probability measures

Nina Vesseron, Elsa Cazelles, Alice Le Brigant +1

This paper focuses on Geodesic Principal Component Analysis (GPCA) on a collection of probability distributions using the Otto-Wasserstein geometry. The goal is to identify geodesi…

Sample complexity of optimal transport barycenters with discrete support

Léo Portales, Edouard Pauwels, Elsa Cazelles

Computational implementation of optimal transport barycenters for a set of target probability measures requires a form of approximation, a widespread solution being empirical appro…

Audio signal interpolation using optimal transportation of spectrograms

David Valdivia, Marien Renaud, Elsa Cazelles +1

We present a novel approach for generating an artificial audio signal that interpolates between given source and target sounds. Our approach relies on the computation of Wasserstei…

Scalable Learning from Probability Measures with Mean Measure Quantization

Erell Gachon, Elsa Cazelles, Jérémie Bigot

We consider statistical learning problems in which data are observed as a set of probability measures. Optimal transport (OT) is a popular tool to compare and manipulate such objec…

Low dimensional representation of multi-patient flow cytometry datasets using optimal transport for minimal residual disease detection in leukemia

Erell Gachon, Jérémie Bigot, Elsa Cazelles +4

Representing and quantifying Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, is essential in the prognosis…

On the sequential convergence of Lloyd's algorithms

Léo Portales, Elsa Cazelles, Edouard Pauwels

Lloyd's algorithm is an iterative method that solves the quantization problem, i.e. the approximation of a target probability measure by a discrete one, and is particularly used in…

Computationally-efficient initialisation of GPs: The generalised variogram method

Felipe Tobar, Elsa Cazelles, Taco de Wolff

We present a computationally-efficient strategy to initialise the hyperparameters of a Gaussian process (GP) avoiding the computation of the likelihood function. Our strategy can b…

A novel notion of barycenter for probability distributions based on optimal weak mass transport

Elsa Cazelles, Felipe Tobar, Joaquín Fontbona

We introduce weak barycenters of a family of probability distributions, based on the recently developed notion of optimal weak transport of mass by Gozlanet al. (2017) and Backhoff…

The Wasserstein-Fourier Distance for Stationary Time Series

Elsa Cazelles, Arnaud Robert, Felipe Tobar

We propose the Wasserstein-Fourier (WF) distance to measure the (dis)similarity between time series by quantifying the displacement of their energy across frequencies. The WF dista…

Data-driven regularization of Wasserstein barycenters with an application to multivariate density registration

Jérémie Bigot, Elsa Cazelles, Nicolas Papadakis

We present a framework to simultaneously align and smooth data in the form of multiple point clouds sampled from unknown densities with support in a d-dimensional Euclidean space.…

Central limit theorems for entropy-regularized optimal transport on finite spaces and statistical applications

Jérémie Bigot, Elsa Cazelles, Nicolas Papadakis

The notion of entropy-regularized optimal transport, also known as Sinkhorn divergence, has recently gained popularity in machine learning and statistics, as it makes feasible the…

Log-PCA versus Geodesic PCA of histograms in the Wasserstein space

Elsa Cazelles, Vivien Seguy, Jérémie Bigot +2

This paper is concerned by the statistical analysis of data sets whose elements are random histograms. For the purpose of learning principal modes of variation from such data, we c…
