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…

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…

Variational properties of the abstract subdifferential operator

Reinier Diàz Millàn, Nadezda Sukhorukova, Julien Ugon

Abstract convexity generalises classical convexity by considering the suprema of functions taken from an arbitrarily defined set of functions. These are called the abstract linear…

Application and issues in abstract convexity

Reinier Díaz Millán, Nadezda Sukhorukova, Julien Ugon

The theory of abstract convexity, also known as convexity without linearity, is an extension of the classical convex analysis. There are a number of remarkable results, mostly conc…

Deep Learning with Nonsmooth Objectives

Vinesha Peiris, Nadezda Sukhorukova, Vera Roshchina

We explore the potential for using a nonsmooth loss function based on the max-norm in the training of an artificial neural network. We hypothesise that this may lead to superior cl…
