Daydreaming Hopfield Networks and their surprising effectiveness on correlated data

Ludovica Serricchio, Dario Bocchi, Claudio Chilin +4

To improve the storage capacity of the Hopfield model, we develop a version of the dreaming algorithm that perpetually reinforces the patterns to be stored (as in the Hebb rule), a…

Stochastic Gradient Descent-like relaxation is equivalent to Metropolis dynamics in discrete optimization and inference problems

Maria Chiara Angelini, Angelo Giorgio Cavaliere, Raffaele Marino +1

Is Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) substantially different from Metropolis Monte Carlo dynamics? This is a fundamental question at the time of understanding the most used trainin…

Phase transitions in the mini-batch size for sparse and dense two-layer neural networks

Raffaele Marino, Federico Ricci-Tersenghi

The use of mini-batches of data in training artificial neural networks is nowadays very common. Despite its broad usage, theories explaining quantitatively how large or small the o…

Hard Optimization Problems have Soft Edges

Raffaele Marino, Scott Kirkpatrick

Finding a Maximum Clique is a classic property test from graph theory; find any one of the largest complete subgraphs in an Erdös-Rényi G(N, p) random graph. We use Maximum Clique…

Learning from Survey Propagation: a Neural Network for MAX-E--SAT

Raffaele Marino

Many natural optimization problems are NP-hard, which implies that they are probably hard to solve exactly in the worst-case. However, it suffices to get reasonably good solutions…

Large independent sets on random -regular graphs with fixed degree

Raffaele Marino, Scott Kirkpatrick

This paper presents a linear prioritized local algorithm that computes large independent sets on a random -regular graph with small and fixed degree . We studied experimental…

Revisiting the Challenges of MaxClique

Raffaele Marino, Scott Kirkpatrick

The MaxClique problem, finding the largest complete subgraph in an Erd{ö}s-R{é}nyi random graph in the large limit, is a well-known example of a simple problem for whi…

The backtracking survey propagation algorithm for solving random K-SAT problems

Raffaele Marino, Giorgio Parisi, Federico Ricci-Tersenghi

Discrete combinatorial optimization has a central role in many scientific disciplines, however, for hard problems we lack linear time algorithms that would allow us to solve very l…
