Thermodynamic structure of the Sinkhorn flow
arXiv:2510.12639v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Entropy-regularized optimal transport, which has strong links to the Schr”odinger bridge problem in statistical mechanics, enjoys a variety of applications from trajectory inference to generative modeling. A major driver of renewed interest in this problem is the recent development of fast matrix-scaling algorithmstextemdash known as iterative proportional fitting or the Sinkhorn algorithmtextemdash for entropic optimal transport, which have favorable complexity over traditional approaches to the unregularized problem. Here, we take a perspective on […]
