Gradient Step Plug-and-Play Model for Dental Cone-Beam CT Reconstruction

Idris Tatachak, Luis Kabongo, Nicolas Papadakis +2

The goal of this work is to reduce the effect of photon noise in dental cone-beam CT reconstruction. We consider an inverse problem formulation and develop a databased prior. To th…

i-DEQ: A stable inertial deep equilibrium model for image restoration

Antonin Clerc, Marien Renaud, Baudouin Denis De Seneville +2

Deep Equilibrium Models (DEQs) are an established framework for image restoration that learn a problem-adapted regularization by solving a fixed-point (i.e. equilibrium) problem. W…

On the Convergence of Proximal Algorithms for Weakly-convex Min-max Optimization

Guido Tapia-Riera, Camille Castera, Nicolas Papadakis

We study alternating first-order algorithms with no inner loops for solving nonconvex-strongly concave min-max problems. We show the convergence of the alternating gradient descent…

Reinterpreting EMML as Mirror Descent for Constrained Maximum Likelihood Estimation

Antonin Clerc, Ségolène Martin, Nicolas Papadakis +1

The Expectation--Maximization Maximum Likelihood (EMML) algorithm belongs to the Expectation--Maximization family and is widely used for image reconstruction problems under Poisson…

Equivariant Denoisers for Plug and Play Image Restoration

Marien Renaud, Eliot Guez, Arthur Leclaire +1

One key ingredient of image restoration is to define a realistic prior on clean images to complete the missing information in the observation. State-of-the-art restoration methods…

From the Gradient-Step Denoiser to the Proximal Denoiser and their associated convergent Plug-and-Play algorithms

Vincent Herfeld, Baudouin Denis de Senneville, Arthur Leclaire +1

In this paper we analyze the Gradient-Step Denoiser and its usage in Plug-and-Play algorithms. The Plug-and-Play paradigm of optimization algorithms uses off the shelf denoisers to…

From stability of Langevin diffusion to convergence of proximal MCMC for non-log-concave sampling

Marien Renaud, Valentin De Bortoli, Arthur Leclaire +1

We consider the problem of sampling distributions stemming from non-convex potentials with Unadjusted Langevin Algorithm (ULA). We prove the stability of the discrete-time ULA to d…
