摘要 / Abstract:

Conditional probability estimation and simulation provides data-based answers to all kinds of critical questions, such as the response of specific patients to different medical treatments, and weather forecast. This talk will introduce a natural formulation of the conditional density estimation problem as an optimal transport barycenter problem, an adaptive methodology for its solution based on an adversarial, game-theoretical approach, and the reduction of complexity of its description of the dependence on covariates through low-rank tensor decomposition and prototypal analysis.
