Algorithms for nonsmooth optimization models under distance-to-set penalties
New publication in Optimization : Algorithms for nonsmooth optimization models under distance-to-set penaltiesBy W. van Ackooij (OSIRIS, EDF Lab) & W. de Oliveira (CMA, Mines Paris - PSL) Abstract: We introduce two optimization methods for Difference-of-Convex (DC) optimization problems involving hard and soft constraints. While hard-constraints are strict requirements [...]
Group Morphology Fixed Points on Homogenous Spaces for Deep Learning Equivariant Networks
New publication in Geometric Science of Information: Group Morphology Fixed Points on Homogenous Spaces for Deep Learning Equivariant NetworksBy Gustavo Jesùs Angulo Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical framework that integrates mathematical morphology with deep learning, focusing on the construction of neural network layers that inherently converge to [...]
A Mathematical Morphology View of the Universal Representation of Scattering Networks
New publication inDiscrete Geometry and Mathematical Morphology : A Mathematical Morphology View of the Universal Representation of Scattering NetworksBy Gustavo Jesus Angulo Abstract: Scattering networks involve cascading wavelet transforms, modulus operators, and low-pass filtering. They provide a sound mathematical proxy to model and understand aspects of deep learning [...]
