The Wasserstein distance is a metric used to measure the difference between two probability distributions on a given metric space. It was first formalised by Gaspard Monge in 1781 and named after Leonid Vaseršteĭn in 1970. It is also known as the Kantorovich–Rubinstein metric or the earth mover's distance.
