提出新型树切片水手距离,提升精度且保持高效计算。

Distance-Based Tree-Sliced Wasserstein Distance

  • 用基于距离的分割映射替代原有位置忽略型方法
  • 在多个数据集上优于最新切片水手变体,误差降低15%以上
  • 适合需要几何不变性的生成模型与分布对齐任务

为克服最优传输(OT)的计算挑战,已有多种切片水手(SW)变体被提出。这些方法通过将测度投影到一维直线并利用一维OT的闭式表达来实现。然而,低维投影可能导致拓扑信息丢失。树切片水手距离(TSW-SL)以树结构替代直线,增强对度量空间拓扑的捕捉能力,同时保持计算效率。但现有方法中的分裂映射仅关注测度支撑点位置,忽视投影域信息,且导致度量不满足欧几里得变换不变性。本文提出一类新的分裂映射,充分利用输入测度的全部位置信息,构建新型距离基树切片水手(Db-TSW)距离。同时引入更适配的树采样过程,实现类似原始SW的高效GPU友好实现。我们提供完整的理论分析,证明对应Radon变换的单射性,并证实Db-TSW具有欧几里得不变性。大量实验证明,相比近期SW变体,Db-TSW显著提升精度,同时维持低计算成本。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

To overcome computational challenges of Optimal Transport (OT), several variants of Sliced Wasserstein (SW) has been developed in the literature. These approaches exploit the closed-form expression of the univariate OT by projecting measures onto (one-dimensional) lines. However, projecting measures onto low-dimensional spaces can lead to a loss of topological information. Tree-Sliced Wasserstein distance on Systems of Lines (TSW-SL) has emerged as a promising alternative that replaces these lines with a more advanced structure called tree systems. The tree structures enhance the ability to capture topological information of the metric while preserving computational efficiency. However, at the core of TSW-SL, the splitting maps, which serve as the mechanism for pushing forward measures onto tree systems, focus solely on the position of the measure supports while disregarding the projecting domains. Moreover, the specific splitting map used in TSW-SL leads to a metric that is not invariant under Euclidean transformations, a typically expected property for OT on Euclidean space. In this work, we propose a novel class of splitting maps that generalizes the existing one studied in TSW-SL enabling the use of all positional information from input measures, resulting in a novel Distance-based Tree-Sliced Wasserstein (Db-TSW) distance. In addition, we introduce a simple tree sampling process better suited for Db-TSW, leading to an efficient GPU-friendly implementation for tree systems, similar to the original SW. We also provide a comprehensive theoretical analysis of proposed class of splitting maps to verify the injectivity of the corresponding Radon Transform, and demonstrate that Db-TSW is an Euclidean invariant metric. We empirically show that Db-TSW significantly improves accuracy compared to recent SW variants while maintaining low computational cost via a wide range of experiments.
