Learning Fast Approximations of Sparse Nonlinear Regression
share
The idea of unfolding iterative algorithms as deep neural networks has been widely applied in solving sparse coding problems, providing both solid theoretical analysis in convergence rate and superior empirical performance. However, for sparse nonlinear regression problems, a similar idea is rarely exploited due to the complexity of nonlinearity. In this work, we bridge this gap by introducing the Nonlinear Learned Iterative Shrinkage Thresholding Algorithm (NLISTA), which can attain a linear convergence under suitable conditions. Experiments on synthetic data corroborate our theoretical results and show our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
