The addition of entropy as a regularizer was introduced to provide smoothn ess\, robustness\, and computational efficiency. But\, in fact\, it does s o much more. I will focus on one striking aspect\, its connection with est imating the so-called score function (the gradient of the log density with respect to the argument). As an application we will talk about discretizi ng Wasserstein gradient flows by an iterated application of EOT. This last application is… DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20241125T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20241125T140000 LAST-MODIFIED:20241115T222217Z LOCATION:UBC Vancouver Campus\, ICCS X836 SUMMARY:Entropy-regularized optimal transport and its connection with score estimation - Soumik Pal\, Professor\, University of Washington TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://caida.ubc.ca/index.php/event/entropy-regularized-optimal-transp ort-and-its-connection-score-estimation-soumik-pal END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
