arXiv:2606. 14023v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Optimal Transport has become recently a powerful method for domain adaptation by aligning source and target distributions.
By Brian Britos, Mathias Bourel
The paper introduces a new optimal transport framework that uses the Barron energy—an intrinsic neural network complexity measure—instead of the traditional kinetic energy. By modeling transport as deep residual networks that map a reference distribution to a target distribution, the authors define a new metric on probability measures and analyze its properties for generative modeling. They demonstrate that diffusion generative models are suboptimal in this Barron geometry and explore how adaptivity can improve alternative generative approaches.

The paper introduces a penalized distributionally robust optimization framework that allows an adversary to choose any distribution while incurring a Wasserstein penalty for deviating from the empirical distribution. It shows that the adversary’s problem can be reformulated as optimizing transport maps that push empirical samples to adversarial ones, proving that optimal maps are cyclically monotone. The authors argue that standard per-sample adversarial training violates this property and propose two remedies—multi-start particle ascent and input-convex neural network parameterization—to enforce cyclical monotonicity, demonstrating improved robustness and generalization in experiments on regression, image classification, and control tasks.
