In this paper, we describe a novel iterative procedure called SISTA to learn the underlying cost in optimal transport problems. SISTA is a hybrid between two classical methods, coordinate descent ("S"-inkhorn) and proximal gradient descent ("ISTA"). It alternates between a phase of exact...

This paper introduces the concept of ordient for binary relations (prefer-ences), a relative of the concept of gradient for functions (utilities). The mainmotivation for this study is to replace the binary relation at the center stageof economic analysis, rather than its representation (whenever...
