Structured Approximations of Measures

arXiv:2310. 09149v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the approximation of probability measures in the Wasserstein-$p$ distance by structured classes of approximators, motivated by applications in imaging, machine learning, and physical measurement under sensor constraints.

Constrained Learning with Universally Learnable Concept Classes

arXiv:2608. 08414v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study constrained statistical learning over infinite-dimensional hypothesis classes in the fully nonconvex setting, and establish universal PACC learnability of the solutions of dual algorithms: Probably Approximately Correct on Constraints, guaranteeing optimality and constraint satisfaction at once.

Barycentric Weak Inner-Product Gromov-Wasserstein

The paper introduces a weak Gromov-Wasserstein (wGW) framework that compares source relations with relations between target conditional laws, focusing on inner-product relations and preserving conditional means. It defines the barycentric weak inner-product GW (wIGW) distance, proves existence of minimizers under finite second moments, and presents a ridge-regularized dual formulation leading to an iterative algorithm for finitely supported measures. Experiments on point clouds, graphs, and a PBMC multiome study demonstrate that mean-preserving target refinements can incur zero cost and improve atlas-based cell type transfer.
