Unrolled neural networks emerged recently as an effective model for learning inverse maps appearing in image restoration tasks. However, their generalization risk (i.e., test mean-squared-error) and its link to network design and train sample size remains mysterious. Leveraging the Steins Unbiased Risk Estimator (SURE), this paper analyzes the generalization risk with its bias and variance components for recurrent unrolled networks. We particularly investigate the degrees-of-freedom (DOF) component of SURE, trace of the end-to-end network Jacobian, to quantify the prediction variance. We prove that DOF is well-approximated by the weighted textit{path sparsity} of the network under incoherence conditions on the trained weights. Empirically, we examine the SURE components as a function of train sample size for both recurrent and non-recurrent (with many more parameters) unrolled networks. Our key observations indicate that: 1) DOF increases with train sample size and converges to the generalization risk for both recurrent and non-recurrent schemes; 2) recurrent network converges significantly faster (with less train samples) compared with non-recurrent scheme, hence recurrence serves as a regularization for low sample size regimes.

In this paper, we investigate the decentralized statistical inference problem, where a network of agents cooperatively recover a (structured) vector from private noisy samples without centralized coordination. Existing optimization-based algorithms s
uffer from issues of model mismatch and poor convergence speed, and thus their performance would be degraded, provided that the number of communication rounds is limited. This motivates us to propose a learning-based framework, which unrolls well-noted decentralized optimization algorithms (e.g., Prox-DGD and PG-EXTRA) into graph neural networks (GNNs). By minimizing the recovery error via end-to-end training, this learning-based framework resolves the model mismatch issue. Our convergence analysis (with PG-EXTRA as the base algorithm) reveals that the learned model parameters may accelerate the convergence and reduce the recovery error to a large extent. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed GNN-based learning methods prominently outperform several state-of-the-art optimization-based algorithms in convergence speed and recovery error.
We present a loss function for neural networks that encompasses an idea of trivial versus non-trivial predictions, such that the network jointly determines its own prediction goals and learns to satisfy them. This permits the network to choose sub-se
ts of a problem which are most amenable to its abilities to focus on solving, while discarding distracting elements that interfere with its learning. To do this, the network first transforms the raw data into a higher-level categorical representation, and then trains a predictor from that new time series to its future. To prevent a trivial solution of mapping the signal to zero, we introduce a measure of non-triviality via a contrast between the prediction error of the learned model with a naive model of the overall signal statistics. The transform can learn to discard uninformative and unpredictable components of the signal in favor of the features which are both highly predictive and highly predictable. This creates a coarse-grained model of the time-series dynamics, focusing on predicting the slowly varying latent parameters which control the statistics of the time-series, rather than predicting the fast details directly. The result is a semi-supervised algorithm which is capable of extracting latent parameters, segmenting sections of time-series with differing statistics, and building a higher-level representation of the underlying dynamics from unlabeled data.
The gradient noise (GN) in the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm is often considered to be Gaussian in the large data regime by assuming that the classical central limit theorem (CLT) kicks in. This assumption is often made for mathematical
convenience, since it enables SGD to be analyzed as a stochastic differential equation (SDE) driven by a Brownian motion. We argue that the Gaussianity assumption might fail to hold in deep learning settings and hence render the Brownian motion-based analyses inappropriate. Inspired by non-Gaussian natural phenomena, we consider the GN in a more general context and invoke the generalized CLT (GCLT), which suggests that the GN converges to a heavy-tailed $alpha$-stable random variable. Accordingly, we propose to analyze SGD as an SDE driven by a L{e}vy motion. Such SDEs can incur `jumps, which force the SDE transition from narrow minima to wider minima, as proven by existing metastability theory. To validate the $alpha$-stable assumption, we conduct extensive experiments on common deep learning architectures and show that in all settings, the GN is highly non-Gaussian and admits heavy-tails. We further investigate the tail behavior in varying network architectures and sizes, loss functions, and datasets. Our results open up a different perspective and shed more light on the belief that SGD prefers wide minima.
Detecting statistical interactions between input features is a crucial and challenging task. Recent advances demonstrate that it is possible to extract learned interactions from trained neural networks. It has also been observed that, in neural netwo
rks, any interacting features must follow a strongly weighted connection to common hidden units. Motivated by the observation, in this paper, we propose to investigate the interaction detection problem from a novel topological perspective by analyzing the connectivity in neural networks. Specially, we propose a new measure for quantifying interaction strength, based upon the well-received theory of persistent homology. Based on this measure, a Persistence Interaction detection~(PID) algorithm is developed to efficiently detect interactions. Our proposed algorithm is evaluated across a number of interaction detection tasks on several synthetic and real world datasets with different hyperparameters. Experimental results validate that the PID algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines.
The feature map obtained from the denoising autoencoder (DAE) is investigated by determining transportation dynamics of the DAE, which is a cornerstone for deep learning. Despite the rapid development in its application, deep neural networks remain a
nalytically unexplained, because the feature maps are nested and parameters are not faithful. In this paper, we address the problem of the formulation of nested complex of parameters by regarding the feature map as a transport map. Even when a feature map has different dimensions between input and output, we can regard it as a transportation map by considering that both the input and output spaces are embedded in a common high-dimensional space. In addition, the trajectory is a geometric object and thus, is independent of parameterization. In this manner, transportation can be regarded as a universal character of deep neural networks. By determining and analyzing the transportation dynamics, we can understand the behavior of a deep neural network. In this paper, we investigate a fundamental case of deep neural networks: the DAE. We derive the transport map of the DAE, and reveal that the infinitely deep DAE transports mass to decrease a certain quantity, such as entropy, of the data distribution. These results though analytically simple, shed light on the correspondence between deep neural networks and the Wasserstein gradient flows.
