A Nonlinear Projection Neural Network for Solving Interval Quadratic Programming Problems and Its Stability Analysis
This paper presents a nonlinear projection neural network for solving interval
quadratic programs subject to box-set constraints in engineering applications. Based on the Saddle point theorem, the equilibrium point of the proposed neural network is proved to be equivalent to the optimal solution of the interval quadratic optimization problems. By employing Lyapunov function approach, the global exponential stability of the proposed neural network is analyzed. Two illustrative examples are provided to show the feasibility and the efficiency of the proposed method in this paper

FROM OPTIMIZATION TO EQUILIBRATION: UNDERSTANDING AN EMERGING PARADIGM IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING
Many existing machine learning (ML) algorithms cannot be viewed as gradient descent on some single objective. The solution trajectories taken by these algorithms naturally exhibit rotation, sometimes forming cycles, a behavior that is not expected with (full-batch) gradient descent. However, these algorithms can be viewed more generally as solving for the equilibrium of a game with possibly multiple competing objectives. Moreover, some recent ML models, specifically generative adversarial networks (GANs) and its variants, are now explicitly formulated as equilibrium problems. Equilibrium problems present challenges beyond those encountered in optimization such as limit-cycles and chaotic attractors and are able to abstract away some of the difficulties encountered when training models like GANs.
In this thesis, I aim to advance our understanding of equilibrium problems so as to improve state-of-the-art in GANs and related domains. In the following chapters, I will present work on designing a no-regret framework for solving monotone equilibrium problems in online or streaming settings (with applications to Reinforcement Learning), ensuring convergence when training a GAN to fit a normal distribution to data by Crossing-the-Curl, improving state-of-the-art image generation with techniques derived from theory, and borrowing tools from dynamical systems theory for analyzing the complex dynamics of GAN training
