A new solution paradigm is able to incorporate compatible pairs in exchange. In this paper, we consider an exchange framework that has both compatible and incompatible pairs, and patients are indifferent over compatible pairs. Only two-way exchanges a...

Optimal transport (OT) compares probability distributions by computing a meaningful alignment between their samples. CO-optimal (COOT) takes this comparison further inferring an features as well. While approach leads to better alignments and generalizes both OT Gromov-Wasserstein distances, we provide theoretical result showing that it is sensitive outliers are omnipresent in real-world data. T...

At that time, I was spending about two and a half hours commuting, braving Atlanta traffic, while my husband pursued his PhD training in New York. My situation as an an...
