Crash Course on Optimal Transport

Crash Course on Optimal Transport

Explore the fundamental concepts and applications of optimal transport in this comprehensive lecture by Mikaela Iacobelli from ETH Zurich. Delve into the cost formulation, key definitions, and structure of optimal transport problems. Learn about optimal coupling, moment conditions, and optimal transport maps. Gain insights into the geometric methods used in optimization and sampling through this in-depth presentation, part of the Geometric Methods in Optimization and Sampling Boot Camp at the Simons Institute.
