Linear Independent Component Analysis (ICA) recovers jointly independent source signals from their linear mixtures. To achieve this, classical ICA algorithms attempt to maximize non-Gaussianity, measured by negentropy, which is linked to independence by information theory.

The paper introduces a geometric framework for measuring how far empirical datasets deviate from the Gaussian family using optimal transport theory. It defines two new quantities—the relative Wasserstein angle and the orthogonal projection distance—based on the cone structure of the relative translation invariant quadratic Wasserstein space, and shows that the usual moment‑matching Gaussian is not generally the $W_2$‑nearest Gaussian. Closed‑form expressions are derived for one‑dimensional and several location–scale families, while a numerical approximation is proposed for higher dimensions, with experiments demonstrating convergence, stability, and the angle’s robustness as a non‑Gaussianity indicator.

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.

The paper studies the numerical solution of the Beurling‑LASSO (BLASSO) for estimating Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) with unknown numbers of components and unknown diagonal covariance matrices. It introduces a Conic Particle Gradient Descent (CPGD) algorithm that incorporates Riemannian gradient descent to respect the Fisher‑Rao geometry of Gaussian distributions. The authors provide theoretical convergence guarantees, including exponential local convergence under a non‑degeneracy condition related to component separation, and demonstrate through numerical experiments that CPGD is more robust to overspecification of components than the EM algorithm.
