Machine learning models, particularly those based on deep neural networks, have revolutionized the fields of data analysis, image recognition, and natural language processing. A key factor in the training of these models is the use of variants of gradient descent algorithms, which optimize model parameters by minimizing a loss function. However, the training optimization problem for neural networks is highly non-convex, presenting unique challenges.

Beyond its theoretical contribution, this work also has signicant practical impact. It provides new and important insight into how to adapt and optimize the performance of compressed sensing in practical applications. It introduces a new generation of sampling strategies based on multilevel random sampling which are both theoretically optimal and outperform previous state-of-the-art approaches in practice. It has led to new approaches in MRI, NMR, uorescence microscopy and helium atom scattering which offer signicant performance gains.
In the year 1781 the problem of optimal transport was first formally discussed by the French mathematician Gaspard Monge. The major point in this field is the task of transforming a probability measure into another one in the way that consumes least energy.…
