class ott.geometry.pointcloud.PointCloud(x, y=None, cost_fn=None, batch_size=None, scale_cost=1.0, **kwargs)[source]#

Defines geometry for 2 point clouds (possibly 1 vs itself).

Creates a geometry, specifying a cost function passed as CostFn type object. When the number of points is large, setting the batch_size flag implies that cost and kernel matrices used to update potentials or scalings will be recomputed on the fly, rather than stored in memory. More precisely, when setting batch_size, the cost function will be partially cached by storing norm values for each point in both point clouds, but the pairwise cost function evaluations won’t be.

Parameters:
  • x (Array) – n x d array of n d-dimensional vectors

  • y (Optional[Array]) – m x d array of m d-dimensional vectors. If None, use x.

  • cost_fn (Optional[CostFn]) – a CostFn function between two points in dimension d.

  • batch_size (Optional[int]) – When None, the cost matrix corresponding to that point cloud is computed, stored and later re-used at each application of apply_lse_kernel(). When batch_size is a positive integer, computations are done in an online fashion, namely the cost matrix is recomputed at each call of the apply_lse_kernel() step, batch_size lines at a time, used on a vector and discarded. The online computation is particularly useful for big point clouds whose cost matrix does not fit in memory.

  • scale_cost (Union[int, float, Literal['mean', 'max_norm', 'max_bound', 'max_cost', 'median']]) – option to rescale the cost matrix. Implemented scalings are ‘median’, ‘mean’, ‘max_cost’, ‘max_norm’ and ‘max_bound’. Alternatively, a float factor can be given to rescale the cost such that cost_matrix /= scale_cost.

  • kwargs (Any) – keyword arguments for Geometry.
