ICE-BeeM: IdentifiableConditionalEnergy-Based DeepModelsBasedonNonlinearICA
Our results extend recent developments innonlinear ICA, and in fact, they lead to an important generalization of ICA models. In particular, we show that our model can be used for the estimation of the components in theframeworkofIndependentlyModulatedComponentAnalysis(IMCA),anew generalization of nonlinear ICA that relaxes the independence assumption.
OntheConvergenceofStepDecayStep-Sizefor StochasticOptimization
Step decay step-size schedules (constant and then cut) are widely used in practice because of their excellent convergence and generalization qualities, but their theoretical properties are not yet well understood. Weprovide convergence results for step decay in the non-convexregime, ensuring that the gradient norm vanishes at an O(lnT/ T)rate.
