Gradient methods, such as gradient descent and stochastic gradient descent, achieve remarkable performances in neural network training but suffer typically from strong instability that makes the optimization of specific architectures challenging, time-consuming, and susceptible to attacks. For this reason, a dynamic regularization of the optimization algorithm is often necessary. Our goal is to lay a … Read more

The PhD project will be centered around implicit shape representations, including those based on neural networks. For such representations, we are interested in connecting the number of stored coefficients to the possible geometric complexity of the resulting shapes, both in theory and in practice. For the analytical aspects, the main relevant mathematical tools are differential … Read more
