Forward and Backward Uncertainty Quantification in Optimization
This contribution gathers some of the ingredients presented during the Iranian Operational Research community gathering in Babolsar in 2019.It is a collection of several previous publications on how to set up an uncertainty quantification (UQ) cascade with ingredients of growing computational complexity for both forward and reverse uncertainty propagation.
متن کاملComparison of distances between measures
The problem of optimal transportation between a set of sources and a set of wells has become recently the object of new mathematical models generalizing the Monge-Kantorovich problem. These models are more realistic as they predict the observed branching structure of communication networks. They also define new distances between measures. The question arises of how these distances compare to th...
متن کاملRelaxed Wasserstein with Applications to GANs
We propose a novel class of statistical divergences called Relaxed Wasserstein (RW) divergence. RW divergence generalizes Wasserstein distance and is parametrized by strictly convex, differentiable functions. We establish for RW several key probabilistic properties, which are critical for the success of Wasserstein distances. In particular, we show that RW is dominated by Total Variation (TV) a...
متن کاملKantorovich Distances between Rankings with Applications to Rank Aggregation
The goal of this paper is threefold. It first describes a novel way of measuring disagreement between rankings of a finite set X of n ≥ 1 elements, that can be viewed as a (mass transportation) Kantorovich metric, once the collection rankings of X is embedded in the set Kn of n× n doubly-stochastic matrices. It also shows that such an embedding makes it possible to define a natural notion of me...
متن کاملWasserstein distances for discrete measures and convergence in nonparametric mixture models
We consider Wasserstein distance functionals for comparing between and assessing the convergence of latent discrete measures, which serve as mixing distributions in hierarchical and nonparametric mixture models. We explore the space of discrete probability measures metrized by Wasserstein distances, clarify the relationships between Wasserstein distances of mixing distributions and f -divergenc...
