Learning Affine-Equivariant Proximal Operators

2026-04-16 · Oriel Savir, Zhenghan Fang, Jeremias Sulam arxiv

Proximal operators are fundamental across many applications in signal processing and machine learning, including solving ill-posed inverse problems. Recent work has introduced Learned Proximal Networks (LPNs), providing parametric functions that compute exact proximals for data-driven and potentially non-convex regularizers. However, in many settings it is important to include additional structure to these regularizers--and their corresponding proximals--such as shift and scale equivariance. In this work, we show how to obtain learned functions parametrized by neural networks that provably compute exact proximal operators while being equivariant to shifts and scaling, which we dub Affine-Equivariant Learned Proximal Networks (AE-LPNs). We demonstrate our results on synthetic, constructive examples, and then on real data via denoising in out-of-distribution settings. Our equivariant learned proximals enhance robustness to noise distributions and affine shifts far beyond training distributions, improving the practical utility of learned proximal operators

Addressing the Topological Defects of Disentanglement

2021-01-01 · Diane Bouchacourt, Mark Ibrahim, Stephane Deny

A core challenge in Machine Learning is to disentangle natural factors of variation in data (e.g. object shape vs pose). A popular approach to disentanglement consists in learning to map each of these factors to distinc…
