Design Innovation for Computing Workshop

SUTD x Wiley – Intro to Python Coding

Master of Architecture Lecture series 2022 – ‘Design beyond Zero’

Averaging data distributions is a core subroutine throughout data science. Wasserstein barycenters (a.k.a. Optimal Transport barycenters) provide a natural approach for this problem that captures the geometry of the data, and are central to diverse applications in machine learning, statistics, and computer graphics. However, despite considerable attention, it remained unknown whether Wasserstein barycenters can be computed in polynomial time. Our recent work provides a complete answer to this question and uncovers the subtle dependence of the answer on the dimension due to the continuous nature of the problem.

In this talk, Jason will explain these results and how they fit more broadly into the research program on algorithms for “structured” Multimarginal Optimal Transport problems.
Joint work with Enric Boix
