...approach offers a novel framework for developing more complex interactions among decisions, information sources, and information costs through a sequence of nested obstacles. 4/11/24   Michel Groppe (Goettingen) Title: Lower Complexity Adaptation for Empirical Entropic Optimal Transport Abstract: Entropic optimal transport (EOT) presents an effective and computationally viable alternative to unregularized optimal transport (OT), offering diverse applications for large-scale data analysis. We derive novel statistical bounds for empirical plug-in estimators of the EOT cost and show that their statistical performance in the entropy regularization parameter epsilon and the sample size n only depends on the simpler of the two probability measures. For instance, under sufficiently smooth costs this yields the parametric rate n^{-1/2} with factor epsilon^{-d/2}, where d is the minimum dimension of the two population measures. This confirms that empirical EOT also adheres to the lower complexity adaptation principle, a hallmark feature only recently identified for unregularized OT. Our...
