Abstract

This work studies an explicit embedding of the set of probability measures into a Hilbert space, defined using optimal transport maps from a reference probability density. This embedding linearizes to some extent the 2-Wasserstein space and is shown to be bi-Hölder continuous. It enables the direct use of generic supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms on measure data consistently w.r.t. the Wasserstein geometry.
