The Gromov–Wasserstein (GW) distance and its fused extension (FGW) are powerful tools for comparing heterogeneous data. Their computation is, however, challenging since both distances are based on non-convex, quadratic optimal transport (OT) problems. Leveraging 1D OT, a sliced version of GW has bee
Wasserstein distances define a metric between probability measures on arbitrary metric spaces, including *meta-measures* (measures over measures). The resulting *Wasserstein over Wasserstein* (WoW) distance is a powerful, but computationally costly tool for comparing datasets or distributions over…
We propose a new approach for unsupervised alignment of heterogeneous datasets, which maps data from two different domains without any known correspondences to a common metric space. Our method is based on an unbalanced optimal transport problem with Gromov-Wasserstein marginal penalization. It can…
We propose conditional flows of the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) with the negative distance kernel for posterior sampling and conditional generative modelling. This MMD, which is also known as energy distance, has several advantageous properties like efficient computation via slicing and sorting.…
