Optimal Transport: From A to B…and Beyond
Abstract:
What is the most efficient way to move something from A to B? That’s precisely the question Gaspard Monge took on back in the 18th century. Fast forward to today, and the theory of Optimal Transport (OT) has evolved into a versatile framework used in areas as diverse as economics, data science, and the natural sciences. In this talk, we’ll take a tour through the fundamentals of OT and dive into a few applications, offering a glimpse of why OT has become such a central tool in modern mathematics and beyond.
