Stable matching as transport
This paper links matching markets with aligned preferences to optimal transport theory. We show that stability, efficiency, and fairness emerge as solutions to a parametric family of optimal transport problems. The parameter reflects society's preferences for inequality. This link offers insights into structural properties of matchings and trade-offs between objectives; showing how stability can lead to welfare inequalities, even among similar agents. Our model captures supply-demand imbalances in contexts like spatial markets, school choice, and ride-sharing. We also show that large markets with idiosyncratic preferences can be well approximated by aligned preferences, expanding the applicability of our results.

Interpolating between matching and hedonic pricing models
We consider the theoretical properties of a model which encompasses bi-partite matching under transferable utility on the one hand, and hedonic pricing on the other. This framework is intimately connected to tripartite m…
Generalized Wasserstein Flow Matching: Transport Plans, Everywhere, All at Once
Flow matching has recently emerged as a flexible and efficient framework for generative modelling by learning deterministic transport dynamics between probability measures. In this work, we extend flow matching to the sp…
Capacity-Controlled Multi-View Stylization of 3D Gaussian Splatting
While 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) provides an efficient and explicit representation for novel view synthesis, enforcing stylistic coherence across viewpoints remains challenging. Existing 3D stylization methods typicall…
Novel View SynthesisReinforcement Learning for Flow-Matching Policies with Density Transport
We present an online reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm for fine-tuning flow-matching policies in continuous-control problems. Our key insight is to view RL-based policy improvement as a transport of action densities …
