Generative modeling of time-dependent densities via optimal transport and projection pursuit

no code implementations19 Apr 2023 Jonah Botvinick-Greenhouse, Yunan Yang, Romit Maulik

Motivated by the computational difficulties incurred by popular deep learning algorithms for the generative modeling of temporal densities, we propose a cheap alternative which requires minimal hyperparameter tuning and scales favorably to high dimensional problems.

Tuning Frequency Bias in Neural Network Training with Nonuniform Data

no code implementations28 May 2022 Annan Yu, Yunan Yang, Alex Townsend

Small generalization errors of over-parameterized neural networks (NNs) can be partially explained by the frequency biasing phenomenon, where gradient-based algorithms minimize the low-frequency misfit before reducing the high-frequency residuals.

An Algebraically Converging Stochastic Gradient Descent Algorithm for Global Optimization

no code implementations12 Apr 2022 Björn Engquist, Kui Ren, Yunan Yang

We propose a new gradient descent algorithm with added stochastic terms for finding the global optimizers of nonconvex optimization problems.

The quadratic Wasserstein metric for inverse data matching

no code implementations15 Nov 2019 Bjorn Engquist, Kui Ren, Yunan Yang

This work characterizes, analytically and numerically, two major effects of the quadratic Wasserstein ($W_2$) distance as the measure of data discrepancy in computational solutions of inverse problems.
