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.

The Observable Wasserstein Distance

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.
