Entropic optimal transport is maximum-likelihood deconvolution (1809.05572v2)
Published 14 Sep 2018 in math.ST and stat.TH
Abstract: We give a statistical interpretation of entropic optimal transport by showing that performing maximum-likelihood estimation for Gaussian deconvolution corresponds to calculating a projection with respect to the entropic optimal transport distance. This structural result gives theoretical support for the wide adoption of these tools in the machine learning community.
