Learning Monge maps with constrained drifting models

Théo Dumont, Théo Lacombe, François-Xavier Vialard

We study the estimation of optimal transport (OT) maps between an arbitrary source probability measure and a log-concave target probability measure. Our contributions are twofold.…

Persistence-based topological optimization: a survey

Mathieu Carriere, Yuichi Ike, Théo Lacombe +1

Computational topology provides a tool, persistent homology, to extract quantitative descriptors from structured objects (images, graphs, point clouds, etc). These descriptors can…

The Wasserstein gradient flow of the Sinkhorn divergence between Gaussian distributions

Mathis Hardion, Théo Lacombe

We study the Wasserstein gradient flow of the Sinkhorn divergence when both the source and the target are Gaussian distributions. We prove the existence of a flow that stays in the…

Revisiting the Sliced Wasserstein Kernel for persistence diagrams: a Figalli-Gigli approach

Marc Janthial, Théo Lacombe

The Sliced Wasserstein Kernel (SWK) for persistence diagrams was introduced in (Carri{è}re et al. 2017) as a powerful tool to implicitly embed persistence diagrams in a Hilbert sp…

On the existence of Monge maps for the Gromov-Wasserstein problem

Théo Dumont, Théo Lacombe, François-Xavier Vialard

The Gromov--Wasserstein problem is a non-convex optimization problem over the polytope of transportation plans between two probability measures supported on two spaces, each equipp…

Diffeomorphic interpolation for efficient persistence-based topological optimization

Mathieu Carriere, Marc Theveneau, Théo Lacombe

Topological Data Analysis (TDA) provides a pipeline to extract quantitative topological descriptors from structured objects. This enables the definition of topological loss functio…
