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.

arXiv:2606. 30574v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many modern generative modeling methods, including diffusion models, normalizing flows, and flow matching, estimate transport maps or plans between distributions without explicitly targeting an optimal transport (OT) map.
The paper introduces COFM, a framework for consistent optimal transport flow matching that uses partially input convex neural networks (PICNN) to parameterize the transport potential. By adding a Hamilton‑Jacobi residual to the training objective, COFM enforces dynamical consistency and supports both one‑step transport and multi‑step ODE sampling without costly inner optimization. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that COFM achieves competitive performance while reducing L^2‑UVP by over 2× and cutting computational time by about 9× compared to state‑of‑the‑art models.
