Sinkhorn Barycenters with Free Support via Frank-Wolfe Algorithm

Giulia Luise, Saverio Salzo, Massimiliano Pontil, Carlo Ciliberto

Neural Information Processing Systems

We present a novel algorithm to estimate the barycenter of arbitrary probability distributions with respect to the Sinkhorn divergence. Based on a Frank-Wolfe optimization strategy, our approach proceeds by populating the support of the barycenter incrementally, without requiring any pre-allocation.


Trajectory Alignment: Understanding the Edge of Stability Phenomenon via Bifurcation Theory

Neural Information Processing Systems

Cohen et al. (2021) empirically study the evolution of the largest eigenvalue of the loss Hessian, also known as sharpness, along the gradient descent (GD) trajectory and observe the Edge of Stability (EoS) phenomenon.
