When:     Monday, February 4th at *11:00 am*

Who:       Jonathan Weed, MIT


*Title:       *Statistical Optimal Transport via Regularized Couplings

*Abstract:* Optimal transport is a tool from probability theory which has
recently seen a surge of interest in machine learning for tasks such as
domain adaptation and integrative data analysis. However, successfully
employing optimal transport for ML problems in practice requires
introducing the right inductive bias. In this talk, we introduce three
different regularization techniques designed to improve the performance of
optimal transport for large-scale empirical data.
