A class of prior distributions based on the output of neural networks with heavy-tailed weights is introduced, motivated by existing results concerning the infinite-width limit of such networks. We show theoretically that samples from such priors have desirable discontinuous-like properties even when the network width is finite, making them appropriate for edge-preserving inversion. Numerically we consider deconvolution problems defined on one- and two-dimensional spatial domains to illustrate the effectiveness of these priors; MAP estimation, dimension-robust MCMC sampling and ensemble-based approximations are utilized to probe the posterior distribution. The accuracy of point estimates is shown to exceed those obtained from non-heavy tailed priors, and uncertainty estimates are shown to provide more useful qualitative information.</p>","PeriodicalId":50274,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems and Imaging","volume":"39 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138512436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To combat this effect, characteristics of solutions that are considered desirable are mathematically implemented during inversion, which is a process called regularization. The influence of provided prior information is controlled by non-negative regularization parameter(s). There are a number of methods used to select appropriate regularization parameters, as well as a number of methods used for inversion. New methods of unbiased risk estimation and generalized cross validation are derived for finding spectral windowing regularization parameters. These estimators are extended for finding the regularization parameters when multiple data sets with common system matrices are available. It is demonstrated that spectral windowing regularization parameters can be learned from these new estimators applied for multiple data and with multiple windows. The results demonstrate that these modified methods, which do not require the use of true data for learning regularization parameters, are effective and efficient, and perform comparably to a learning method based on estimating the parameters using true data. The theoretical developments are validated for the case of two dimensional image deblurring. The results verify that the obtained estimates of spectral windowing regularization parameters can be used effectively on validation data sets that are separate from the training data, and do not require known data.","PeriodicalId":50274,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems and Imaging","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45975717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
