[Ronak Mehta <ronakrm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

AIRG,

Due to some unexpected circumstances Pheonix will not be able to present this week. However, we are lucky to have another presenter.

Introduction to Optimal Transport and Sinkhorn Iterations for Machine Learning

Aditya Kumar Akash

October 2nd, 4pm

CS 4331

This week, Aditya Kumar Akash will present on the basics of Optimal Transport and its applications to machine learning, most recently enabled by a Sinkhorn iteration method presented in the following paper:

Sinkhorn Distances: Lightspeed Computation of Optimal Transport

Marco Cuturi, NeurIPS 2013

http://papers.nips.cc/paper/4927-sinkhorn-distances-lightspeed-computation-of-optimal-transport

More resources on optimal transport and its applications, including great slides and code, can be found here:

And as always, please send me a message if you would like to present!

See you on Wednesday!
