Description

Optimal transport (OT) is a method for mapping one probability
distribution into another. OT also leads to a method for defining a
geodesic between distributions which allows us to morph one
distribution into another. I will introduce the basics of optimal
transport and I will explain how optimal transport maps and
morphings can be estimated from data.
