Hyper Input Convex Neural Networks for Shape Constrained Learning and Optimal Transport

Shayan Hundrieser, Insung Kong, Johannes Schmidt-Hieber

We introduce Hyper Input Convex Neural Networks (HyCNNs), a novel neural network architecture designed for learning convex functions. HyCNNs combine the principles of Maxout networ…

On the Universal Representation Property of Spiking Neural Networks

Shayan Hundrieser, Philipp Tuchel, Insung Kong +1

Inspired by biology, spiking neural networks (SNNs) process information via discrete spikes over time, offering an energy-efficient alternative to the classical computing paradigm…

Sharp Convergence Rates of Empirical Unbalanced Optimal Transport for Spatio-Temporal Point Processes

Marina Struleva, Shayan Hundrieser, Dominic Schuhmacher +1

We statistically analyze empirical plug-in estimators for unbalanced optimal transport (UOT) formalisms, focusing on the Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance, between general intensity…

Optimal Transport Based Testing in Factorial Designs

Michel Groppe, Linus Niemöller, Shayan Hundrieser +4

We introduce a general framework for testing statistical hypotheses in factorial designs for probability measures supported on discrete spaces. The suggested methodology is based o…

Local Poisson Deconvolution for Discrete Signals

Shayan Hundrieser, Tudor Manole, Danila Litskevich +1

We analyze the statistical problem of recovering an atomic signal, modeled as a discrete uniform distribution , from a binned Poisson convolution model. This question is motivat…

A Lower Bound for Estimating Fréchet Means

Shayan Hundrieser, Benjamin Eltzner, Stephan F. Huckemann

Fréchet means, conceptually appealing, generalize the Euclidean expectation to general metric spaces. We explore how well Fréchet means can be estimated from independent and identi…

Lower Complexity Adaptation for Empirical Entropic Optimal Transport

Michel Groppe, Shayan Hundrieser

Entropic optimal transport (EOT) presents an effective and computationally viable alternative to unregularized optimal transport (OT), offering diverse applications for large-scale…

Convergence of Empirical Optimal Transport in Unbounded Settings

Thomas Staudt, Shayan Hundrieser

In compact settings, the convergence rate of the empirical optimal transport cost to its population value is well understood for a wide class of spaces and cost functions. In unbou…

Weak Limits for Empirical Entropic Optimal Transport: Beyond Smooth Costs

Alberto González-Sanz, Shayan Hundrieser

We establish weak limits for the empirical entropy regularized optimal transport cost, the expectation of the empirical plan and the conditional expectation. Our results require on…

Empirical Optimal Transport under Estimated Costs: Distributional Limits and Statistical Applications

Shayan Hundrieser, Gilles Mordant, Christoph Alexander Weitkamp +1

Optimal transport (OT) based data analysis is often faced with the issue that the underlying cost function is (partially) unknown. This paper is concerned with the derivation of di…

Unbalanced Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance, plan, and barycenter on finite spaces: A statistical perspective

Shayan Hundrieser, Florian Heinemann, Marcel Klatt +2

We analyze statistical properties of plug-in estimators for unbalanced optimal transport quantities between finitely supported measures in different prototypical sampling models. S…

A Unifying Approach to Distributional Limits for Empirical Optimal Transport

Shayan Hundrieser, Marcel Klatt, Thomas Staudt +1

We provide a unifying approach to central limit type theorems for empirical optimal transport (OT). In general, the limit distributions are characterized as suprema of Gaussian pro…

Finite Sample Smeariness on Spheres

Benjamin Eltzner, Shayan Hundrieser, Stephan F. Huckemann

Finite Sample Smeariness (FSS) has been recently discovered. It means that the distribution of sample Fréchet means of underlying rather unsuspicious random variables can behave as…

Finite Sample Smeariness of Fréchet Means and Application to Climate

Shayan Hundrieser, Benjamin Eltzner, Stephan F. Huckemann

Fréchet means on non-Euclidean spaces may exhibit nonstandard asymptotic rates rendering quantile-based asymptotic inference inapplicable. We show here that this affects, among oth…
