Entropic Neural Optimal Transport via Diffusion Processes

Neural Information Processing Systems

We propose a novel neural algorithm for the fundamental problem of computing the entropic optimal transport (EOT) plan between continuous probability distributions which are accessible by samples. Our algorithm is based on the saddle point reformulation of the dynamic version of EOT which is known as the Schrödinger Bridge problem. In contrast to the prior methods for large-scale EOT, our algorithm is end-to-end and consists of a single learning step, has fast inference procedure, and allows handling small values of the entropy regularization coefficient which is of particular importance in some applied problems. Empirically, we show the performance of the method on several large-scale EOT tasks.



A Proofs

Neural Information Processing Systems

Let Cost(π) be the value of weak OT functional for a plan π, i.e., Cost( π) We are going to use our Theorem 3.1. As a result, every plan is optimal.Proof of Proposition 3.3. According to our Theorem 3.2, one only has to ensure that Anyway, this is indifferent for us. It remains to upper bound the first term in (23). Formula (12) for the optimal drift follows from [38, Proposition 4.1] From our Proposition 3.3 it follows that For other ϵ > 0, the analogous equivalence holds true.



Differentially Private E-Values

E-values have gained prominence as flexible tools for statistical inference and risk control, enabling anytime- and post-hoc-valid procedures under minimal assumptions. However, many real-world applications fundamentally rely on sensitive data, which can be leaked through e-values. To ensure their safe release, we propose a general framework to transform non-private e-values into differentially private ones. Towards this end, we develop a novel biased multiplicative noise mechanism that ensures our e-values remain statistically valid. We show that our differentially private e-values attain strong statistical power, and are asymptotically as powerful as their non-private counterparts. Experiments across online risk monitoring, private healthcare, and conformal e-prediction demonstrate our approach's effectiveness and illustrate its broad applicability.
