Gromov-Wasserstein Barycenter Surrogates: Statistical Methodology, Distributional Limits and Applications

Authors Steinkamp F, Rodríguez LA, Otte JV, Munk A Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2609.11670. Abstract We introduce statistical theory for the matching of finitely many objects, represented as metric measure spaces (mm-spaces). The approach is based on the second lower bound (SLB) of the Gromov-Wasserstein distance and thus is able to
