Difference of Convex (DC) approach for neural network approximation with uniform loss function

Vinesha Peiris, Nadezda Sukhorukova

Neural networks (NNs) can be viewed as approximation tools. Traditionally, NNs are relying on gradient and stochastic gradient (SG) methods. There are a number of available computa…

KKT-based optimality conditions for neural network approximation

Vinesha Peiris, Nadezda Sukhorukova, Julien Ugon

In this paper, we obtain necessary optimality conditions for neural network approximation. We consider neural networks in Manhattan ( norm) and Chebyshev ( norm). The op…

Nonsmooth Optimisation and neural networks

Vinesha Peiris, Nadezda Sukhorukova

In this paper, we study neural networks from the point of view of nonsmooth optimisation, namely, quasidifferential calculus. We restrict ourselves to the case of uniform approxima…

Best free knot linear spline approximation and its application to neural networks

Vinesha Peiris, Duy Khoa Pham, Nadezda Sukhorukova

The problem of fixed knot approximation is convex and there are several efficient approaches to solve this problem, yet, when the knots joining the affine parts are also variable,…

A comparison of rational and neural network based approximations

Vinesha Peiris, Reinier Diaz Millan, Nadezda Sukhorukova +1

Rational and neural network based approximations are efficient tools in modern approximation. These approaches are able to produce accurate approximations to nonsmooth and non-Lips…

Rational activation functions in neural networks with uniform based loss functions and its application in classification

Vinesha Peiris

In this paper, we demonstrate the application of generalised rational uniform (Chebyshev) approximation in neural networks. In particular, our activation functions are one degree r…
