Majorization-Minimization Networks for Inverse Problems: An Application to EEG Imaging

arXiv:2602.03855v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inverse problems are often ill-posed and require optimization schemes with strong stability and convergence guarantees. While learning-based approaches such as deep unrolling and meta-learning achieve strong empirical performance, they typically lack explicit control over descent and curvature, limiting robustness. We propose a learned Majorization-Minimization (MM) framework for inverse problems within a bilevel optimization setting. Instead of learning a full optimizer, we learn a structured curvature majorant that governs each MM ste

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of deep learning in inverse problems necessitates more robust and controllable optimization methods, addressing limitations seen in current learning-based approaches.

Why it’s important

Improving the stability and convergence guarantees of learning-based solutions for inverse problems, such as medical imaging (EEG) and other scientific applications, enhances reliability and expands AI's applicability in critical domains.

What changes

This research introduces a more structured, theoretically sound framework for incorporating deep learning into inverse problem solving, potentially leading to safer and more predictable AI systems in fields requiring high accuracy.
