• Abstract summary: "Nonlinear Level set Learning" (NLL) approach is presented for the pointwise prediction of functions which have been sparsely sampled. The proposed algorithm effectively reduces the input dimension to the theoretical lower bound with minor accuracy loss. Experiments and applications are presented which compare this modified NLL with the original NLL and the Active Subspaces (AS) method.

• Abstract: A dimension reduction method based on the "Nonlinear Level set Learning" (NLL) approach is presented for the pointwise prediction of functions which have been sparsely sampled. Leveraging geometric information provided by the Implicit Function Theorem, the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the input dimension to the theoretical lower bound with minor accuracy loss, providing a one-dimensional representation of the function which can be used for regression and sensitivity analysis. Experiments and applications are presented which compare this modified NLL with the original NLL and the Active Subspaces (AS) method. While accommodating sparse input data, the proposed algorithm is shown to train quickly and provide a much more accurate and informative reduction than either AS or the original NLL on two example functions with high-dimensional domains, as well as two state-dependent quantities depending on the solutions to parametric differential equations.

  This paper studies minimax optimization problems defined over infinite-dimensional function classes of overparametricized two-layer neural networks. We address (i) the convergence of the gradient descent-ascent algorithm and (ii) the representation learning of the neural networks. Results show that the feature representation induced by the neural networks is allowed to deviate from the initial one by the magnitude of $O(alpha-1)$, measured in terms of the Wasserstein distance.

  We propose a new method of Dimension Reduction via Learning Level Sets (DRiLLS) for function approximation. Our method contains two major components: one is the pseudo-reversible neural network (PRNN) module that effectively transforms high-dimensional input variables to low-dimensional active variables. The PRNN not only relaxes the invertibility constraint of the nonlinear transformation present in the NLL method due to the use of RevNet, but also adaptively weights the influence of each sample and controls the sensitivity the function to the learned active variables.
