Abstract
This talk will survey the probabilistic and statistical aspects of the OT that are at the edge of current research. We will talk about entropic regularization, statistical estimation, Schrödinger bridges, and the Sinkhorn algorithm. Many of these areas use underlying intuition from the geometry of Wasserstein spaces and statistical physics. We will mention these informal ideas as we go.
