Light Entropic Optimal Transport on Riemannian Manifolds

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

Light Entropic Optimal Transport on Riemannian Manifolds introduces ManifoldLightOT, a lightweight method for learning kernel‑induced entropic optimal transport couplings directly on common manifolds such as spheres, tori, SO(3), and SE(3). By constructing geometry‑specific Gibbs kernels and compatible potential parameterizations, the approach yields closed‑form normalization and directly sampleable conditional distributions. The formulation extends naturally to products of manifolds and optimizes potentials from samples using Monte Carlo estimates, demonstrating superior performance over existing manifold OT methods in synthetic and real‑world experiments.

Riemannian Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models

arXiv:2505. 04338v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose Riemannian Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (RDDPMs) for learning distributions on submanifolds of Euclidean space that are level sets of functions, including most of the manifolds relevant to applications.

RW-Flow: One-Step Generation on Compact Manifolds via Wasserstein Gradient Flows

RW-Flow presents a new one‑step generative framework for data on compact manifolds, leveraging Wasserstein gradient flows. The authors derive a necessary and sufficient identifiability condition for velocity fields on compact, connected Riemannian manifolds, showing that a symmetric, Lipschitz‑continuous cost function yields identifiability iff its Gibbs kernel is nondegenerate. Experiments on geospatial events, protein and RNA torsion angles, and discretized manifolds demonstrate that RW‑Flow surpasses existing one‑step methods across most benchmark settings.
