PMaF: Deep Declarative Layers for Principal Matrix Features
share
We explore two differentiable deep declarative layers, namely least squares on sphere (LESS) and implicit eigen decomposition (IED), for learning the principal matrix features (PMaF). This can be used to represent data features with a low-dimension vector containing dominant information from a high-dimension matrix. We first solve the problems with iterative optimization in the forward pass and then backpropagate the solution for implicit gradients under a bi-level optimization framework. Particularly, adaptive descent steps with the backtracking line search method and descent decay in the tangent space are studied to improve the forward pass efficiency of LESS. Meanwhile, exploited data structures are used to greatly reduce the computational complexity in the backward pass of LESS and IED. Empirically, we demonstrate the superiority of our layers over the off-the-shelf baselines by comparing the solution optimality and computational requirements.
