Learning from samples: inverse problems over measures

arXiv:2505. 07124v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study inverse problems where an unknown potential is observed only through samples from the measure it induces by a convex variational principle.

Continuum-marginal optimal transport: a mesh-free kernel method

The paper introduces a mesh‑free kernel method for continuum‑marginal optimal transport, aiming to recover the minimum‑energy velocity field that reproduces a continuous family of probability marginals. By embedding the weak continuity equation into a reproducing kernel Hilbert space, the authors obtain a sample‑only objective that eliminates spatial discretization. The velocity is represented via a linear‑in‑parameters dictionary or neural network and optimized with mini‑batch stochastic techniques, achieving accurate drift recovery and marginal consistency in synthetic experiments, and the framework also extends to the Nelson problem of stochastic optimal transport.
