arXiv:2409.02416v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Motivated by the Bures distance, we introduce a new family of distances, \emph{relative translation invariant Wasserstein distances}, denoted by $RW_p$, as an extension of the classical Wasserstein distances $W_p$ for $p \in [1, +\infty)$. We establish that $RW_p$ defines a valid metric and demonstrate that this type of metric is more intrinsic than the classical Wasserstein distance. A bi-level algorithm is designed to compute the general $RW_p$ distance between arbitrary discrete distributions. Moreover, when $p = 2$, we show that the optim
The continuous academic pursuit in AI and machine learning necessitates more efficient and robust mathematical tools, such as advanced distance metrics, to improve model performance and understanding.
Improved mathematical frameworks like new Wasserstein distances can enhance the theoretical underpinnings of AI, leading to more accurate and intrinsically stable machine learning models over time.
This research introduces a potentially more 'intrinsic' metric for comparing discrete distributions, which could lead to better-performing algorithms for generative models or data analysis applications.

New metrics will refine the theoretical understanding and computational efficiency of certain machine learning tasks.
Improved algorithms, especially in generative AI or optimal transport problems, may emerge from the application of this metric.
This could contribute to the development of more robust and interpretable AI systems in niche applications.
