0.9.2
This new release contains several new features and bug fixes. Among the new features
we have a new solver for estimation of nearest Brenier potentials (SSNB) that can be used for OT mapping estimation (on small problems), new Bregman Alternated Projected Gradient solvers for GW and FGW, and new solvers for Bures-Wasserstein barycenters. We also provide a first solver for Low Rank Sinkhorn that will be ussed to provide low rak OT extensions in the next releases. Finally we have a new exact line-search for (F)GW solvers with KL loss that can be used to improve the convergence of the solvers.
We also have a new LazyTensor
class that can be used to model OT plans and low rank tensors in large scale OT. This class is used to return the plan for the new wrapper for geomloss
Sinkhorn solver on empirical samples that can lead to x10/x100 speedups on CPU or GPU and have a lazy implementation that allows solving very large problems of a few millions samples.
We also have a new API for solving OT problems from empirical samples with ot.solve_sample
Finally we have a new API for Gromov-Wasserstein solvers with ot.solve_gromov
function that centralizes most of the (F)GW methods with unified notation. Some example of how to use the new API below:
# Generate random data
xs, xt = np.random.randn(100, 2), np.random.randn(50, 2)
# Solve OT problem with empirical samples
sol = ot.solve_sample(xs, xt) # Exact OT betwen smaples with uniform weights
sol = ot.solve_sample(xs, xt, wa, wb) # Exact OT with weights given by user
sol = ot.solve_sample(xs, xt, reg= 1, metric='euclidean') # sinkhorn with euclidean metric
sol = ot.solve_sample(xs, xt, reg= 1, method='geomloss') # faster sinkhorn solver on CPU/GPU
sol = ot.solve_sample(x,x2, method='factored', rank=10) # compute factored OT
sol = ot.solve_sample(x,x2, method='lowrank', rank=10) # compute lowrank sinkhorn OT
value_bw = ot.solve_sample(xs, xt, method='gaussian').value # Bures-Wasserstein distance
# Solve GW problem
Cs, Ct = ot.dist(xs, xs), ot.dist(xt, xt) # compute cost matrices
sol = ot.solve_gromov(Cs,Ct) # Exact GW between samples with uniform weights
# Solve FGW problem
M = ot.dist(xs, xt) # compute cost matrix
# Exact FGW between samples with uniform weights
sol = ot.solve_gromov(Cs, Ct, M, loss='KL', alpha=0.7) # FGW with KL data fitting
# recover solutions objects
P = sol.plan # OT plan
u, v = sol.potentials # dual variables
value = sol.value # OT value
# for GW and FGW
value_linear = sol.value_linear # linear part of the loss
value_quad = sol.value_quad # quadratic part of the loss
Users are encouraged to use the new API (it is much simpler) but it might still be subjects to small changes before the release of POT 1.0.
We also fixed a number of issues, the most pressing being a problem of GPU memory allocation when pytorch is installed that will not happen now thanks to Lazy initialization of the backends. We now also have the possibility to deactivate some backends using environment which prevents POT from importing them and can lead to large import speedup.
