What is the Wasserstein distance?

The Wasserstein distance, also known as the Earth Movers (EM) distance, is one of the most popularly used distance measures in the optimal transport problems where we need to move things from one configuration to another.

So, when we have two distributions, and , implies that how much amount of work is required for the probability distribution, to match the probability distribution .

Let’s try to understand ...
