Highly Data Parallelizable Estimation of the Sliced-Wasserstein Distance Using Cumulative Distribution Functions
By Christophe Vauthier · Paper · stat.ML
The Sliced Wasserstein (SW) distance has emerged as a computationally attractive alternative to the Wasserstein distance by leveraging one-dimensional optimal transport along random projections. Standard estimators of the SW distance rely on Monte Carlo averages of one-dimensiona
