The Energy Mover’s Distance Review: The Earth Mover’s Distance Earth Mover’s Distance : the minimum “work” (stuff x distance) to rearrange one pile of dirt into another [S. Peleg, M. Werman, H. Rom] [Y. Rubner, C. Tomasi, and L.J. Guibas] Metric on the space of (normalized) distributions: symmetric, non-negative, triangle inequality Distributions are close in EMD ó their expectation values are close. Also known as the 1- Wasserstein metric. Eric M. Metodiev, MIT Exploring the (Metric) Space of Collider Events 10
