arXiv:2604.23944v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a new regularized optimal transport (OT) formulation, termed sliced-regularized optimal transport (SROT). Unlike entropic OT (EOT), which regularizes the transport plan toward an independent coupling, SROT regularizes it toward a smoothened sliced OT (SOT) plan. To the best of our knowledge, SROT is the first approach to leverage a version of SOT plan as a reference to improve classical OT. We provide a formal definition of SROT, derive its dual formulation, and provide a post-Bayesian interpretation of SROT. We then develop
