Metric properties of partial and robust Gromov-Wasserstein distances
Jannatul Chhoa, Michael Ivanitskiy, Fushuai Jiang +4
The Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) distances define a family of metrics, based on ideas from optimal transport, which enable comparisons between probability measures defined on distinct m…
