We provide a computational complexity analysis for the Sinkhorn algorithm that solves the entropic regularized Unbalanced Optimal Transport (UOT) problem between two measures of possibly different masses with at most $n$ components. We show that the complexity of the Sinkhorn algorithm for finding an $varepsilon$-approximate solution to the UOT problem is of order $widetilde{mathcal{O}}(n^2/ varepsilon)$, which is near-linear time. To the best of our knowledge, this complexity is better than the complexity of the Sinkhorn algorithm for solving the Optimal Transport (OT) problem, which is of order $widetilde{mathcal{O}}(n^2/varepsilon^2)$. Our proof technique is based on the geometric convergence of the Sinkhorn updates to the optimal dual solution of the entropic regularized UOT problem and some properties of the primal solution. It is also different from the proof for the complexity of the Sinkhorn algorithm for approximating the OT problem since the UOT solution does not have to meet the marginal constraints.

Starting from Breniers relaxed formulation of the incompressible Euler equation in terms of geodesics in the group of measure-preserving diffeomorphisms, we propose a numerical method based on Sinkhorns algorithm for the entropic regularization of optimal transport. We also make a detailed comparison of this entropic regularization with the so-called Bredinger entropic interpolation problem. Numerical results in dimension one and two illustrate the feasibility of the method.
Value iteration is a well-known method of solving Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) that is simple to implement and boasts strong theoretical convergence guarantees. However, the computational cost of value iteration quickly becomes infeasible as the size of the state space increases. Various methods have been proposed to overcome this issue for value iteration in large state and action space MDPs, often at the price, however, of generalizability and algorithmic simplicity. In this paper, we propose an intuitive algorithm for solving MDPs that reduces the cost of value iteration updates by dynamically grouping together states with similar cost-to-go values. We also prove that our algorithm converges almost surely to within (2varepsilon / (1 - gamma)) of the true optimal value in the (ell^infty) norm, where (gamma) is the discount factor and aggregated states differ by at most (varepsilon). Numerical experiments on a variety of simulated environments confirm the robustness of our algorithm and its ability to solve MDPs with much cheaper updates especially as the scale of the MDP problem increases.
Estimating mutual information is an important statistics and machine learning problem. To estimate the mutual information from data, a common practice is preparing a set of paired samples ${(mathbf{x}_i,mathbf{y}_i)}_{i=1}^n stackrel{mathrm{i.i.d.}}{sim} p(mathbf{x},mathbf{y})$. However, in many situations, it is difficult to obtain a large number of data pairs. To address this problem, we propose the semi-supervised Squared-loss Mutual Information (SMI) estimation method using a small number of paired samples and the available unpaired ones. We first represent SMI through the density ratio function, where the expectation is approximated by the samples from marginals and its assignment parameters. The objective is formulated using the optimal transport problem and quadratic programming. Then, we introduce the Least-Squares Mutual Information with Sinkhorn (LSMI-Sinkhorn) algorithm for efficient optimization. Through experiments, we first demonstrate that the proposed method can estimate the SMI without a large number of paired samples. Then, we show the effectiveness of the proposed LSMI-Sinkhorn algorithm on various types of machine learning problems such as image matching and photo album summarization.

We present a (full) derandomization of HSSW algorithm for 3-SAT, proposed by Hofmeister, Schoning, Schuler, and Watanabe in [STACS02]. Thereby, we obtain an O(1.3303^n)-time deterministic algorithm for 3-SAT, which is currently fastest.
