Multi marginal optimal transport

B. Zhou and M. Parno are working on a general multi-marginal optimal transport (MMOT) framework to obtain the continuous representation of discrete-in-time data. Given observations (called as marginals), our algorithm provides a prediction on the sea ice dynamics in a continuous time. This provides a solution to some stage in the Lagrangian Observation Mapping. The python package with its description can be found here.

Using the SAR data (every 6 days) obtained from Alaska Satellite Facility on the Robertson Channel (thanks to J. Park), the video shows the prediction dynamics every 2 day.
