Optimal Transport and Machine Learning

Workshop at Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) 2023

Over the last decade, optimal transport (OT) has evolved from a prize-winning research area in pure mathematics to a recurring theme bursting across many areas of machine learning (ML). Advancements in OT theory, computation, and statistics have fueled breakthroughs in a wide range of applications, from single-cell genomics to generative modeling and the optimization of over-parametrized neural nets , among many others. The OTML workshop series (in '14,~'17,~'19, and '21) has been instrumental in shaping this influential research thread. The OTML workshop aims to provide a unique platform to federate, disseminate, and advance current knowledge in this rapidly growing field.
