• Abstract: In this work, we propose a deep neural network method to perform nonparametric regression for functional data. The proposed estimators are based on sparsely connected deep neural networks with ReLU activation function. By properly choosing network architecture, our estimator achieves the optimal nonparametric convergence rate in empirical norm. Under certain circumstances such as trigonometric polynomial kernel and a sufficiently large sampling frequency, the convergence rate is even faster than root-$n$ rate. Through Monte Carlo simulation studies we examine the finite-sample performance of the proposed method. Finally, the proposed method is applied to analyze positron emission tomography images of patients with Alzheimer disease obtained from the Alzheimer Disease Neuroimaging Initiative database.

  Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (qMRI) enables the reproducible measurement of biophysical parameters in tissue. The challenge lies in solving a nonlinear, ill-posed inverse problem to obtain desired tissue parameter maps from acquired raw data. We propose PINQI, a novel qMRI reconstruction method that integrates the knowledge about the signal, acquisition model, and learned regularization into a single end-to-end trainable neural network.
