Amortized Optimal Transport from Sliced Potentials

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2604.15114v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a novel amortized optimization method for predicting optimal transport (OT) plans across multiple pairs of measures by leveraging Kantorovich potentials derived from sliced OT. We introduce two amortization strategies: regression-based amortization (RA-OT) and objective-based amortization (OA-OT). In RA-OT, we formulate a functional regression model that treats Kantorovich potentials from the original OT problem as responses and those obtained from sliced OT as predictors, and estimate these models via least-squares methods. In OA-OT, we estimate the parameters of the functional model by optimizing the Kantorovich dual objective. In both approaches, the predicted OT plan is subsequently recovered from the estimated potent
