AM-SURE Summer Lecture Series

Optimal transport for the analysis of data

Speaker: Esteban Tabak, Courant Institute

Location: Warren Weaver Hall 1314

Date: Friday, June 16, 2023, 1 p.m.

Synopsis:

This talk will discuss how the mathematical theory of optimal transport provides a natural framework for posing and answering questions related to data analysis and conditional probability distributions. Instances include determining and simulating such distributions from sparse data, discovering hidden factors that explain observed variability and consolidating multiple data sets.
