arXiv:2410. 01244v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a novel Wasserstein-1 ($W_1$) path-space divergence for stochastic and deterministic dynamics and establish a Wasserstein Uncertainty Propagation (WUP) theorem that bounds the $W_1$ distance between terminal distributions by the proposed divergence, equivalently characterized by a weighted $L^2$ discrepancy between the underlying drifts and the $W_1$ distance between their initial measures.

arXiv:2608. 11544v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose CVaR-penalized Generative Particle Algorithm (CVaR-GPA), a robust, tail-agnostic algorithm for fine-tuning generative models to learn heavy-tailed distributions and capture extreme events, requiring no prior knowledge or estimation of the target's tail characteristics.

The paper introduces BROT, a two‑step approach for estimating optimal transport maps. First, it computes the unregularized OT plan, then fits a deep neural network to the resulting barycentric targets using least‑squares regression. The authors prove that, under standard regularity conditions, BROT achieves the minimax convergence rate when the true OT map is Lipschitz, and demonstrate its effectiveness on synthetic data, images, and downstream tasks such as single‑cell perturbation prediction and unsupervised domain adaptation.

Generative models for function-valued data, such as time series and solutions of partial differential equations, must learn distributions over infinite-dimensional spaces. Functional Flow Matching (FF...
The paper introduces MS‑WDRO, a multi‑source Wasserstein distributionally robust optimization framework for reconstructing complex network topologies from scarce target‑domain data and abundant heterogeneous source data. It fuses sources via a weighted Wasserstein barycenter, builds an ambiguity set around it, and solves a regularized Laplacian estimator using a provably convergent ADMM scheme. The authors provide finite‑sample guarantees, demonstrate that naive aggregation is suboptimal, and show through experiments on synthetic data and the ABIDE I neuroimaging dataset that MS‑WDRO outperforms seven baselines in graph recovery, sample efficiency, and diagnostic utility, especially when target samples are limited.
