• Abstract: The solution of linear inverse problems arising, for example, in signal and image processing is a challenging problem since the ill-conditioning amplifies, in the solution, the noise present in the data. Recently introduced algorithms based on deep learning overwhelm the more traditional model-based approaches in performance, but they typically suffer from instability with respect to data perturbation. In this paper, we theoretically analyze the trade-off between stability and accuracy of neural networks, when used to solve linear imaging inverse problems for not under-determined cases. Moreover, we propose different supervised and unsupervised solutions to increase the network stability and maintain a good accuracy, by means of regularization properties inherited from a model-based iterative scheme during the network training and pre-processing stabilizing operator in the neural networks. Extensive numerical experiments on image deblurring confirm the theoretical results and the effectiveness of the proposed deep learning-based approaches to handle noise on the data.

  We show that neural networks trained to learn solutions to inverse problems can find better solutions than classicals even on their training set. Our findings suggest an alternative use for neural networks: rather than generalizing to new data for fast inference, they can also be used to find better solutions on known data.

  Large convolutional neural networks have been widely used as tools for image deblurring. Image deblurring is mathematically modeled as an ill-posed inverse problem and its solution is difficult to approximate when noise affects the data. In this paper, we propose some strategies to improve stability without losing to much accuracy to deblur images with deep-learning based methods.
