Special Session on Recent Advances in Optimal Transport and Applications
-
Saturday April 6, 2024, 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.
Special Session on Recent Advances in Optimal Transport and Applications, I
Optimal transport is one of the most versatile areas of mathematics. It has been successfully utilized in image processing, economics, geometric optics, inverse problems, mathematical biology, data analysis and machine learning. Recent advances in optimal transport theory in conjunction with efficient computational algorithms, have paved the way for more real-world applications. This special session aims to bring together researchers from various backgrounds to exchange ideas on recent advances and discuss new approaches to tackle challenging open problems in this area.
