Inverse Entropic Optimal Transport Solves Semi-supervised Learning via Data Likelihood Maximization

ICML 2026poster

Learning conditional distributions $\pi^\star(\cdot|x)$ is a central problem in machine learning, which is typically approached via supervised methods with paired data $(x,y) \sim \pi^\star$. However, acquiring paired data samples is often challenging, especially in problems such as domain translati…

Your Latent Reasoning is Secretly Policy Improvement Operator

ICML 2026poster

Recently, small models with latent recursion have obtained promising results on complex reasoning tasks. These results are typically explained by the theory that such recursion increases a network’s depth, allowing it to compactly emulate the capacity of larger models. However, the performance of re…

Neural Optimal Transport with General Cost Functionals

ICLR 2024poster

We introduce a novel neural network-based algorithm to compute optimal transport (OT) plans for general cost functionals. In contrast to common Euclidean costs, i.e., $\ell^1$ or $\ell^2$, such functionals provide more flexibility and allow using auxiliary information, such as class labels, to const…

Rethinking Optimal Transport in Offline Reinforcement Learning

NeurIPS 2024poster

We propose a novel algorithm for offline reinforcement learning using optimal transport. Typically, in offline reinforcement learning, the data is provided by various experts and some of them can be sub-optimal. To extract an efficient policy, it is necessary to \emph{stitch} the best behaviors from…

Wasserstein-2 Generative Networks

ICLR 2021poster

We propose a novel end-to-end non-minimax algorithm for training optimal transport mappings for the quadratic cost (Wasserstein-2 distance). The algorithm uses input convex neural networks and a cycle-consistency regularization to approximate Wasserstein-2 distance. In contrast to popular entropic a…
