• Title: Stable, accurate and efficient deep neural networks for inverse problems with analysis-sparse models
• Authors: Maksym Neyra-Nesterenko, Ben Adcock
• Abstract summary: We present a novel construction of an accurate, stable and efficient neural network for inverse problems with general analysis-sparse models. To construct the network, we unroll NESTA, an accelerated first-order method for convex optimization. A restart scheme is employed to enable exponential decay of the required network depth, yielding a shallower, and consequently more efficient, network.

• Abstract: Solving inverse problems is a fundamental component of science, engineering and mathematics. With the advent of deep learning, deep neural networks have significant potential to outperform existing state-of-the-art, model-based methods for solving inverse problems. However, it is known that current data-driven approaches face several key issues, notably instabilities and hallucinations, with potential impact in critical tasks such as medical imaging. This raises the key question of whether or not one can construct stable and accurate deep neural networks for inverse problems. In this work, we present a novel construction of an accurate, stable and efficient neural network for inverse problems with general analysis-sparse models. To construct the network, we unroll NESTA, an accelerated first-order method for convex optimization. Combined with a compressed sensing analysis, we prove accuracy and stability. Finally, a restart scheme is employed to enable exponential decay of the required network depth, yielding a shallower, and consequently more efficient, network. We showcase this approach in the case of Fourier imaging, and verify its stability and performance via a series of numerical experiments. The key impact of this work is to provide theoretical guarantees for computing and developing stable neural networks in practice.

  Many deep neural networks have been used to solve Ising models, including autoregressive neural networks, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, and graph neural networks. Here we propose a variational autoregressive architecture with a message passing mechanism, which can effectively utilize the interactions between spin variables. The new network trained under an annealing framework outperforms existing methods in solving several prototypical Ising spin Hamiltonians, especially for larger spin systems at low temperatures.

• Addressing caveats of neural persistence with deep graph persistence [54.424983583720675]
  We find that the variance of network weights and spatial concentration of large weights are the main factors that impact neural persistence. We propose an extension of the filtration underlying neural persistence to the whole neural network instead of single layers. This yields our deep graph persistence measure, which implicitly incorporates persistent paths through the network and alleviates variance-related issues.

  Inverse Priors is an unsupervised approach to transform a random input into an object whose image under the forward model matches the observation. We provide overparametrization bounds under which such network trained via continuous-time gradient descent will converge exponentially fast with high probability. This work is thus a first step towards a theoretical understanding of overparametrized DIP networks, and more broadly it participates to the theoretical understanding of neural networks in inverse problem settings.
