• Abstract summary: We propose a novel framework to address the Monge-Kantorovich problem based on a projection type gradient descent scheme. The micro-dynamics is built on the notion of the conditional expectation, where the connection with the opinion dynamics is explored. We demonstrate that the devised dynamics recovers random maps with favourable computational performance.

• Abstract: Many numerical algorithms and learning tasks rest on solution of the Monge-Kantorovich problem and corresponding Wasserstein distances. While the natural approach is to treat the problem as an infinite-dimensional linear programming, such a methodology severely limits the computational performance due to the polynomial scaling with respect to the sample size along with intensive memory requirements. We propose a novel alternative framework to address the Monge-Kantorovich problem based on a projection type gradient descent scheme. The micro-dynamics is built on the notion of the conditional expectation, where the connection with the opinion dynamics is explored and leveraged to build compact numerical schemes. We demonstrate that the devised dynamics recovers random maps with favourable computational performance. Along with the theoretical insight, the provided dynamics paves the way for innovative approaches to construct numerical schemes for computing optimal transport maps as well as Wasserstein distances.

As a byproduct of our analysis we introduce a novel regularization process over vanilla descent and provide theoretical and experimental evidence that it helps address vanishing-gradient issues and escape bad stationary points.

  We propose a family of Riemannian algorithms generalizing and extending the seminal approximation framework of Robbins and Monro. Compared to their Euclidean counterparts, Riemannian algorithms are much less understood due to lack of a global linear structure on the manifold. We provide a general template of almost sure convergence results that mirrors and extends the existing theory for Euclidean Robbins-Monro schemes.
