Optimal transport computes an interpolation between two distributions using an optimal coupling. Flow matching, on the other hand, uses a simpler “independent” coupling, which is the product of the marginals.

Blast from the past, wrote these equations in this form 6 years ago, I remember it felt quite clarifying at the time ... A bygone era unfortunately

Tokenization is the process of breaking text into smaller units - tokens - which can be words, subwords, or characters. It's a step in NLP, transforming raw text into token embeddings. The classical algorithm is Byte-Pair Encoding at the subword level. platform.openai.com/tokenizer

Covering numbers can be thought as way to quantify “compactness” of a set in a complete metric space. It is also closely related to packing numbers. www.math.uci.edu/~rvershyn/pa...
