+
+  Follows the approach outlined in :cite:`rabin:12` to compute a proxy for OT
+  distances that relies on creating features (possibly randomly) for data,
+  through e.g., projections, and then sum the 1D Wasserstein distances between
+  these features' univariate distributions on both source and target samples.
+
+  Args:
+    x: Array of shape ``[n, dim]`` of source points' coordinates.
+    y: Array of shape ``[m, dim]`` of target points' coordinates.
+    a: Array of shape ``[n,]`` of source probability weights.
+    b: Array of shape ``[m,]`` of target probability weights.
+    cost_fn: Cost function. Must be a submodular function of two real arguments,
+      i.e. such that :math:`\partial c(x,y)/\partial x \partial y <0`. If
+      :obj:`None`, use :class:`~ott.geometry.costs.SqEuclidean`.
+    proj_fn: Projection function, mapping any ``[b, dim]`` matrix of coordinates
+      to ``[b, n_proj]`` matrix of features, on which 1D transports (for
+      ``n_proj`` directions) are subsequently computed independently.
+      By default, use :func:`~ott.tools.sliced.random_proj_sphere`.
+    weights: Array of shape ``[n_proj,]`` of weights used to average the
+      ``n_proj`` 1D Wasserstein contributions (one for each feature) and form
+      the sliced Wasserstein distance. Uniform by default, resulting in average
+      of all these values.
+    return_transport: Whether to store ``n_proj`` transport plans in the output.
+    return_dual_variables: Whether to store ``n_proj`` pairs of dual vectors
+      in the output.
+    kwargs: Keyword arguments to ``proj_fn``. Could for instance
+      include, as done with default projector, number of ``n_proj`` projections,
+      as well as a ``rng`` key to sample as many directions.
+
+  Returns:
