sinkhorn — COLORTRANSPORT transport op

Data kinds: signal × signal × matrixtransport_plan

Call: import colortransport; colortransport.sinkhorn(a, b, cost, reg=0.05, n_iter=2000, tol=1e-09) (or opscolortransport.get("sinkhorn"))

Usage

The entropically regularised optimal-transport plan (Cuturi, NIPS 2013).

> The detailed description below is the original text — the summary and the headings are translated.

厳密解ではない。 `reg` を小さくすると厳密解に近づくが、同時に

数値的に不安定になる(指数がアンダーフローする)。`reg` を下げると

厳密解との差が縮むこと自体をテストで固定してある。

Returns

-------

ndarray

`(n, m) の輸送計画。行和・列和は a / b` に一致する

(`tol まで)。収束しなければ RuntimeError` ―― 収束しないまま

最後の反復を返すと、行和が合っていない計画が黙って下流へ流れる。
