AbstractOptimal transport (OT) is a powerful tool for comparing probability distributions and computing maps between them. Simply put, optimal transport is the minimum-cost plan to transport mass from one distribution to the other, where the cost of transporting one unit of mass between two locations is the ground distance between the two locations. OT has been studied extensively in mathematics, engineering, physics, economics, operations research, and computer science because of their numerous applica
