KI Seminar: Florian Gunsilius
Optimal transportation, at its core, is a powerful framework for obtaining structured yet general couplings between general probability measures based on matching underlying characteristics. This framework lends itself naturally to applications in...

KI Seminar: Nassif Ghoussoub
Our introduction of the notion of a non-linear Kantorovich operator was motivated by the celebrated duality in the mass transport problem, hence the name. In retrospect, we realized that they -and their iterates- were omnipresent in several branches...

The sign test (Arbuthnott, 1710) and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (Wilcoxon, 1945) are among the first examples of a nonparametric test. These procedures — based on signs, (absolute) ranks and signed-ranks — yield distribution-free tests for...
