What is Implicit Deep Learning?

Blogs from ODSC Speakers Conferences Deep Learning Modeling Deep Learning implicit deep learning implicit rulesposted by Laurent El Ghaoui August 19, 2019

Prediction rules in deep learning are based on a forward, recursive computation through several layers. Implicit deep learning rules go much beyond, by relying on the solution of an implicit (or, “fixed-point”) equation that has to be numerically solved in order to make the prediction: for...
