The Wasserstein distances Wp are measures of similarity be tween probability distributions that have found numerous applications in m achine learning. For example\, Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks are able to generate realistic fake images by approximating the empirical distribution of a sample of images with respect to W1. From a statistical perspective\, the question of the estimation of quantities related to the optimal transport problem is then raised. We will present two settings wh ere one can bypass the curse of dimensionality. First\, in the case where the target distribution is supported on a low-dimensional unknown submanif old. Second\, in the case where the target distribution is obtained as the pushforward of the gaussian distribution through some map that is known t o belong to a given functional class F. In the latter case\, we are able t o obtain fast rates of estimation that depend uniquely on the metric entro py of the class F.\n\nZoom: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/82167352773?pwd=VHZPZ WQ0d1g1S3M0cnVvWW9jbWxEdz09\n DTSTART:20221124T163000Z DTEND:20221124T173000Z LOCATION:Room 1214\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Vincent Divol (NYU) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/vincent-divol-nyu-343756 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
