Sliced Wasserstein Barycenters: The Analysis Approach within the Barycentric Coding Model in the Wasserstein Space
We study sliced Wasserstein barycenters from a variational perspective in Wasserstein space, with emphasis on the analysis problem in the barycentric coding model: given a query measure and a finite dictionary of probability measures, recover simplex-constrained barycentric coordinates. We derive an explicit first-vari...
