Spring School on Weak Optimal Transport, Wasserstein Barycenters and Applications
30 mar 2026 - 2 apr 2026 [open in google calendar]
Université de Toulon (France)
This spring school, organized by the ANR SOCOT, (Stochastic Orders and Constrained Optimal Transport) is aimed at PhD students, Postdoctorate students and researchers. The goal is to introduce them to state of the art research in the fields of Weak Optimal Transport, Wasserstein Barycenters and their applications, via four mini-courses given by established specialists of those fields.
The mini-courses (4h30 each) will be given by :
Agnès Desolneux : OT for Gaussian Mixture Models : theory, applications and extensions, Andrea Natale : Metric extrapolation, signed Wasserstein barycenters and applications, Guillaume Carlier : Wasserstein barycenters and applications, Julio Backhoff : 'Most Gaussian' martingales and nonlinear optimal transport.
Organizers: Thierry Champion, Théo Lavier.
Speakers: Julio Backhoff, Guillaume Carlier, Agnes Desolneux, Andrea Natale.
