Approximate Message Passing with Restricted Boltzmann Machine Priors
Approximate Message Passing (AMP) has been shown to be an excellent
statistical approach to signal inference and compressed sensing problem. The
AMP framework provides modularity in the choice of signal prior; here we
propose a hierarchical form of the Gauss-Bernouilli prior which utilizes a
Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) trained on the signal support to push
reconstruction performance beyond that of simple iid priors for signals whose
support can be well represented by a trained binary RBM. We present and analyze
two methods of RBM factorization and demonstrate how these affect signal
reconstruction performance within our proposed algorithm. Finally, using the
MNIST handwritten digit dataset, we show experimentally that using an RBM
allows AMP to approach oracle-support performance
Inferring Sparsity: Compressed Sensing using Generalized Restricted Boltzmann Machines
In this work, we consider compressed sensing reconstruction from
measurements of -sparse structured signals which do not possess a writable
correlation model. Assuming that a generative statistical model, such as a
Boltzmann machine, can be trained in an unsupervised manner on example signals,
we demonstrate how this signal model can be used within a Bayesian framework of
signal reconstruction. By deriving a message-passing inference for general
distribution restricted Boltzmann machines, we are able to integrate these
inferred signal models into approximate message passing for compressed sensing
reconstruction. Finally, we show for the MNIST dataset that this approach can
be very effective, even for .Comment: IEEE Information Theory Workshop, 201
A Deterministic and Generalized Framework for Unsupervised Learning with Restricted Boltzmann Machines
Restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs) are energy-based neural-networks which
are commonly used as the building blocks for deep architectures neural
architectures. In this work, we derive a deterministic framework for the
training, evaluation, and use of RBMs based upon the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer
(TAP) mean-field approximation of widely-connected systems with weak
interactions coming from spin-glass theory. While the TAP approach has been
extensively studied for fully-visible binary spin systems, our construction is
generalized to latent-variable models, as well as to arbitrarily distributed
real-valued spin systems with bounded support. In our numerical experiments, we
demonstrate the effective deterministic training of our proposed models and are
able to show interesting features of unsupervised learning which could not be
directly observed with sampling. Additionally, we demonstrate how to utilize
our TAP-based framework for leveraging trained RBMs as joint priors in
denoising problems
Robust phase retrieval with the swept approximate message passing (prSAMP) algorithm
In phase retrieval, the goal is to recover a complex signal from the
magnitude of its linear measurements. While many well-known algorithms
guarantee deterministic recovery of the unknown signal using i.i.d. random
measurement matrices, they suffer serious convergence issues some
ill-conditioned matrices. As an example, this happens in optical imagers using
binary intensity-only spatial light modulators to shape the input wavefront.
The problem of ill-conditioned measurement matrices has also been a topic of
interest for compressed sensing researchers during the past decade. In this
paper, using recent advances in generic compressed sensing, we propose a new
phase retrieval algorithm that well-adopts for both Gaussian i.i.d. and binary
matrices using both sparse and dense input signals. This algorithm is also
robust to the strong noise levels found in some imaging applications
