Fenchel-Young Duality Gaps: Certified Early Stopping for Regularized Inverse Problems

Pierre-Cyril Aubin-Frankowski, Yohann de Castro

We study computable error bounds and certified early stopping for regularized inverse problems, where a data-fidelity term is traded against a regularizer. The analysis relies on a…
