This open source Python library provide several solvers for optimization problems related to Optimal Transport for signal, image processing and machine learning.

It provides the following solvers:

* OT Network Flow solver for the linear program/ Earth Movers Distance [1].
* Entropic regularization OT solver with Sinkhorn Knopp Algorithm [2], stabilized version [9][10] and greedy Sinkhorn [22] with optional GPU implementation (requires cupy).
* Sinkhorn divergence [23] and entropic regularization OT  from empirical data.
* Smooth optimal transport solvers (dual and semi-dual) for KL and squared L2 regularizations [17].
* Non regularized Wasserstein barycenters [16] with LP solver (only small scale).
* Bregman projections for Wasserstein barycenter [3], convolutional barycenter [21] and unmixing [4].
* Optimal transport for domain adaptation with group lasso regularization [5]
* Conditional gradient [6] and Generalized conditional gradient for regularized OT [7].
* Linear OT [14] and Joint OT matrix and mapping estimation [8].
* Wasserstein Discriminant Analysis [11] (requires autograd + pymanopt).
* Gromov-Wasserstein distances and barycenters ([13] and regularized [12])
* Stochastic Optimization for Large-scale Optimal Transport (semi-dual problem [18] and dual problem [19])
* Non regularized free support Wasserstein barycenters [20].
* Unbalanced OT with KL relaxation distance and barycenter [10, 25].

Some demonstrations (both in Python and Jupyter Notebook format) are available in the examples folder.

#### Using and citing the toolbox

If you use this toolbox in your research and find it useful, please cite POT using the following bibtex reference:
```
@misc{flamary2017pot,
title={POT Python Optimal Transport library},
author={Flamary, R{'e}mi and Courty, Nicolas},
url={https://github.com/rflamary/POT},
year={2017}
}
```

## Installation

The library has been tested on Linux, MacOSX and Windows. It requires a C++ compiler for building/installing the EMD solver and relies on the following Python modules:

- Numpy (>=1.11)
- Scipy (>=1.0)
- Cython (>=0.23)
- Matplotlib (>=1.5)

#### Pip installation

Note that due to a limitation of pip, `cython` and `numpy` need to be installed
prior to installing POT. This can be done easily with
```
pip install numpy cython
```

You can install the toolbox through PyPI with:
```
pip install POT
```
or get the very latest version by downloading it and then running:
```
python setup.py install --user # for user install (no root)
```



#### Anaconda installation with conda-forge

If you use the Anaconda python distribution, POT is available in [conda-forge](https://conda-forge.org). To install it and the required dependencies:
```
conda install -c conda-forge pot
```

#### Post installation check
After a correct installation, you should be able to import the module without errors:
```python
import ot
```
Note that for easier access the module is name ot instead of pot.


### Dependencies

Some sub-modules require additional dependences which are discussed below

* **ot.dr** (Wasserstein dimensionality reduction) depends on autograd and pymanopt that can be installed with:
```
pip install pymanopt autograd
```
* **ot.gpu** (GPU accelerated OT) depends on cupy that have to be installed following instructions on [this page](https://docs-cupy.chainer.org/en/stable/install.html).


obviously you need CUDA installed and a compatible GPU.

## Examples

### Short examples

* Import the toolbox
```python
import ot
```
* Compute Wasserstein distances
```python
# a,b are 1D histograms (sum to 1 and positive)
# M is the ground cost matrix
Wd=ot.emd2(a,b,M) # exact linear program
Wd_reg=ot.sinkhorn2(a,b,M,reg) # entropic regularized OT
# if b is a matrix compute all distances to a and return a vector
```
* Compute OT matrix
```python
# a,b are 1D histograms (sum to 1 and positive)
# M is the ground cost matrix
T=ot.emd(a,b,M) # exact linear program
T_reg=ot.sinkhorn(a,b,M,reg) # entropic regularized OT
```
* Compute Wasserstein barycenter
```python
# A is a n*d matrix containing d  1D histograms
# M is the ground cost matrix
ba=ot.barycenter(A,M,reg) # reg is regularization parameter
```
