arXiv:2603. 15384v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We improve and extend persistence spheres, introduced in~\cite{pegoraro2025persistence}.

arXiv:2606. 02047v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Convex Distance Operator Transport (CDOT), the first convex optimal transport framework that aligns distributions across heterogeneous domains by jointly preserving feature correspondence and intrinsic geometric structure.
arXiv:2605. 09916v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce the observable Wasserstein distance, a framework for deriving lower bounds on the Wasserstein distance between probability measures on Polish metric spaces, designed to bypass the computational intractability of exact optimal transport in large-scale, non-Euclidean datasets.
arXiv:2605. 14981v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Gromov--Wasserstein (GW) distances compare graphs, shapes, and point clouds through internal distances, without requiring a common coordinate system.
arXiv:2608. 02487v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recently, rectified flow has emerged as a fundamental framework for large-scale image generation, powering state-of-the-art systems such as FLUX.
arXiv:2606. 08113v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A small Wasserstein distance does not certify that a transformation is admissible.
arXiv:2608. 13201v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop the statistical and algorithmic theory of inverse optimal transport (IOT) under the feature-parameterized cost C_theta(i,j) = -theta^T phi(i,j).
arXiv:2606. 24987v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Optimal transport (OT) has become a central language for comparing probability measures, but exact balanced OT is often both too rigid for data with missing, created, or destroyed mass and subject to unfavorable high-dimensional sample complexity.
arXiv:2606. 12120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank optimal transport (OT) mitigates the quadratic scaling of classical solvers, yet existing approaches rely heavily on first-order mirror-descent updates that require careful hyperparameter tuning and ignore the optimization landscape's curvature.
arXiv:2606. 07926v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Optimal transport couplings are probabilistic objects, while many learning pipelines require deterministic maps.
arXiv:2606. 30523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Covariance matrices serve as compact descriptors of feature distributions in many machine-learning pipelines, including domain adaptation and Gaussian embeddings.
arXiv:2505. 06589v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern machine learning repeatedly manipulates probability measures: empirical datasets, generated samples, latent distributions, class-conditional laws, particle systems, weights of wide networks and attention patterns.
