Plug-and-Play (PnP) methods are efficient iterative algorithms for solving ill-posed image inverse problems. PnP methods are obtained by using deep Gaussian denois-ers instead of the proximal operator or the gradient-descent step within proximal algorithms.

Let g[1](zx) be g(zx) and W[1] be W for notation simplicity. Consider each dimension's scalar output ofg(zx), and it is denoted asg p (zx) where p is an index of the output dimension. For each AL round, a target modelΘis trained via stochastic gradient descent(SGD) using IN examples in the labeled setSL (Lines 3-5). The initial learning rate of0.1 is decayed by a factor of 0.1 at 50% and 75% of the total training iterations. Owing to the ability to find the best balance between purity and informativeness, MQ-Net achieves the highest accuracy on every AL round.

Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) has been the method of choice for learning large-scale non-convex models. While a general analysis of when SGD works has been elusive, there has been a lot of recent progress in understanding the convergence of Gradient Flow (GF) on the population loss, partly due to the simplicity thatacontinuous-time analysis buysus.
