• Title: A Relaxed Inertial Forward-Backward-Forward Algorithm for Solving Monotone Inclusions with Application to GANs
• Authors: Radu Ioan Bot, Michael Sedlmayer, Phan Tu Vuong
• Abstract summary: We introduce a relaxed inertial forward-backward-forward (RIFBF) splitting algorithm for approaching the set of zeros of the sum of a maximally monotone operator and a single-valued monotone and Lipschitz continuous operator. We illustrate the proposed method by applications to a bilinear saddle point problem, in the context of which we also emphasize the interplay between the inertial and the relaxation parameters.

• Abstract: We introduce a relaxed inertial forward-backward-forward (RIFBF) splitting algorithm for approaching the set of zeros of the sum of a maximally monotone operator and a single-valued monotone and Lipschitz continuous operator. This work aims to extend Tseng's forward-backward-forward method by both using inertial effects as well as relaxation parameters. We formulate first a second order dynamical system which approaches the solution set of the monotone inclusion problem to be solved and provide an asymptotic analysis for its trajectories. We provide for RIFBF, which follows by explicit time discretization, a convergence analysis in the general monotone case as well as when applied to the solving of pseudo-monotone variational inequalities. We illustrate the proposed method by applications to a bilinear saddle point problem, in the context of which we also emphasize the interplay between the inertial and the relaxation parameters, and to the training of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs).

A novel convergence analysis is conducted, inspired by the fixed-point methods established for traditional regularization-by-denoising algorithms.

We argue that instabilities in the optimization process are often caused by the nonmonotonicity of the loss landscape and show how linear can help by leveraging the theory of nonexpansive operators.

  We analyze the generalization dynamics to derive algorithm-dependent bounds, e.g., stability. Inspired by the observation that neural networks show a slow convergence rate when fitting noise, we propose decomposing the excess risk dynamics. Under the decomposition framework, the new bound accords better with the theoretical and empirical evidence compared to the stability-based bound and uniform convergence bound.
