New methods enable greedy sparse recovery algorithms for neural network training

Researchers have developed new methods to make greedy sparse recovery algorithms compatible with neural network training. These algorithms, like Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) and Iterative Hard Thresholding (IHT), typically rely on non-differentiable operators that prevent their integration into deep learning architectures. The proposed solution involves creating permutation-based variants, specifically Soft-OMP and Soft-IHT, which use continuous relaxations of the non-differentiable components. These differentiable counterparts allow for the creation of fully trainable neural network architectures, such as OMP-Net and IHT-Net, capable of approximating the original algorithms with controllable accuracy and extracting latent sparsity patterns from data.
