Accelerated Multiple Wasserstein Gradient Flows for Multi-objective Distributional Optimization
arXiv:2601.19220v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study multi-objective optimization over probability distributions in Wasserstein space. Recently, Nguyen et al. (2025) introduced Multiple Wasserstein Gradient Descent (MWGraD) algorithm, which exploits the geometric structure of Wasserstein space to jointly optimize multiple objectives. Building on this approach, we propose an accelerated variant, A-MWGraD, inspired by Nesterov's acceleration. We analyze the continuous-time dynamics and establish convergence to weakly Pareto optimal points in probability space. Our theoretical results sho

This research provides a more efficient method for optimizing multiple conflicting objectives in AI systems, which could lead to more robust, ethical, and performant AI models in applications ranging from robotics to resource allocation.
The proposed A-MWGraD algorithm offers a faster and potentially more stable convergence to optimal solutions in multi-objective distributional optimization, improving upon existing methods.
