Data Mining with Newton’s Method A thesis presented to the faculty of the Department of Computer and Information Sciences East Tennessee State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Science in Computer Science by James Dale Cloyd December 2002 Donald Sanderson, Chair Laurie Moffit Kellie Price Keywords: Genetic algorithms, evolutionary operations, neural networks, simplex evop, maximum likelihood estimation, non-linear regression, robust regression, knowledge discovery in databases. ABSTRACT Data Mining with Newton’s Method by James D. Cloyd Capable and well-organized data mining algorithms are essential and fundamental to helpful, useful, and successful knowledge discovery in databases. We discuss several data mining algorithms including genetic algorithms (GAs). In addition, we propose a modified multivariate Newton’s method (NM) approach to data mining of technical data. Several strategies are employed to stabilize Newton’s method to pathological function behavior. NM is compared to GAs and to the simplex evolutionary operation algorithm (EVOP). We find that GAs, NM, and EVOP all perform efficiently for well-behaved global optimization functions with NM providing an exponential improvement in convergence rate. For local optimization problems, we find that GAs and EVOP do not provide the desired convergence rate, accuracy, or precision compared to NM for technical data. We find that GAs are favored for their simplicity while NM would be favored for its performance. 2 Copyright © 2002 by James D.

  • The Method of Gauss-Newton to Compute Power Series Solutions of Polynomial Homotopies∗
    The Method of Gauss-Newton to Compute Power Series Solutions of Polynomial Homotopies∗ Nathan Bliss Jan Verschelde University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science 851 S. Morgan Street (m/c 249), Chicago, IL 60607-7045, USA fnbliss2,[email protected] Abstract We consider the extension of the method of Gauss-Newton from com- plex floating-point arithmetic to the field of truncated power series with complex floating-point coefficients. With linearization we formulate a lin- ear system where the coefficient matrix is a series with matrix coefficients, and provide a characterization for when the matrix series is regular based on the algebraic variety of an augmented system. The structure of the lin- ear system leads to a block triangular system. In the regular case, solving the linear system is equivalent to solving a Hermite interpolation problem. In general, we solve a Hermite-Laurent interpolation problem, via a lower triangular echelon form on the coefficient matrix. We show that this solu- tion has cost cubic in the problem size. With a few illustrative examples, we demonstrate the application to polynomial homotopy continuation. Key words and phrases. Linearization, Gauss-Newton, Hermite inter- polation, polynomial homotopy, power series. 1 Introduction 1.1 Preliminaries A polynomial homotopy is a family of polynomial systems which depend on one parameter. Numerical continuation methods to track solution paths defined by a homotopy are classical, see e.g.: [3] and [23]. Our goal is to improve the algorithms to track solution paths in two ways: ∗This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.

  • Approximate Newton's Method for Tomographic Image Reconstruction
    Approximate Newton's method for Tomographic Image Reconstruction Yao Xie Reports for EE 391 Fall 2007 { 2008 December 14, 2007 Abstract In this report we solved a regularized maximum likelihood (ML) image reconstruction problem (with Poisson noise). We considered the gradient descent method, exact Newton's method, pre-conditioned conjugate gradient (CG) method, and an approximate Newton's method, with which we can solve a million variable problem. However, the current version of approximate Newton's method converges slow. We could possibly improve by ¯nding a better approximate to the Hessian matrix, and still easy to compute its inverse. 1 Introduction Deterministic Filtered backprojection (FBP) and regularized Maximum-Likelihood(ML) es- timation are two major approaches to transmission tomography image reconstruction, such as CT [KS88]. Though the latter method typically yields higher image quality, its practical application is yet limited by its high computational cost (0.02 second per image for FBP versus several hours per image for ML-based method). This study works towards solving large scale ML imaging problem. We consider several versions of the Newton's algorithm, including an approximate Newton's method. We tested our methods on one simulated example and one real data set. Our method works, but converges relatively slow. One possible remedy is to ¯nd a better approximation to the Hessian matrix. 2 Problem Formulation We consider a computed tomographic (CT) system. The object to be imaged is a square region, which we divide into an n £n array of square pixels. The pixels are indexded column 1 ¯rst, by a single index i ranging from 1 to n2.

  • On the Use of Neural Networks to Solve Differential Equations Alberto García Molina
    Máster Universitario en Modelización e Investigación Matemática, Estadística y Computación 2019/2020 Trabajo Fin de Máster On the use of Neural Networks to solve Differential Equations Alberto García Molina Tutor/es Carlos Gorria Corres Lugar y fecha de presentación prevista 12 de Octubre del 2020 Abstract English. Artificial neural networks are parametric models, generally adjusted to solve regression and classification problem. For a long time, a question has laid around regarding the possibility of using these types of models to approximate the solutions of initial and boundary value problems, as a means for numerical integration. Recent improvements in deep-learning have made this approach much attainable, and integration methods based on training (fitting) artificial neural networks have begin to spring, motivated mostly by their mesh-free natureand scalability to high dimensions. In this work, we go all the way from the most basic elements, such as the definition of artificial neural networks and well-posedness of the problems, to solving several linear and quasi-linear PDEs using this approach. Throughout this work we explain general theory concerning artificial neural networks, including topics such as vanishing gradients, non-convex optimization or regularization, and we adapt them to better suite the initial and boundary value problems nature. Some of the original contributions in this work include: an analysis of the vanishing gradient problem with respect to the input derivatives, a custom regularization technique based on the network’s parameters derivatives, and a method to rescale the subgradients of the multi-objective of the loss function used to optimize the network.

  • Petsc's Software Strategy for the Design Space of Composable
    PETSc's Software Strategy for the Design Space of Composable Extreme-Scale SolversI Barry Smitha, Lois Curfman McInnesa, Emil Constantinescua, Mark Adamsb, Satish Balaya, Jed Browna, Matthew Knepleyc, Hong Zhangd aMathematics and Computer Science Division, Argonne National Laboratory bApplied Physics and Applied Mathematics Department, Columbia University cComputation Institute, University of Chicago dDepartment of Computer Science, Illinois Institute of Technology Abstract Emerging extreme-scale architectures present new opportunities for broader scope of simulations as well as new challenges in algorithms and software to exploit unprecedented levels of parallelism. Composable, hierarchical solver algorithms and carefully designed portable software are crucial to the success of extreme- scale simulations, because solver phases often dominate overall simulation time. This paper presents the PETSc design philogophy and recent advances in the library that enable application scientists to investi- gate the design space of composable linear, nonlinear, and timestepping solvers. In particular, separation of the control logic of the algorithms from the computational kernels of the solvers is crucial to allow in- jecting new hardware-specific computational kernels without having to rewrite the entire solver software library. Progress in this direction has already begun in PETSc, with new support for pthreads, OpenMP, and GPUs as a first step toward hardware-independent, high-level control logic for computational kernels. This multipronged software strategy for composable extreme-scale solvers will help exploit unprecedented extreme-scale computational power in two important ways: by facilitating the injection of newly developed scalable algorithms and data structures into fundamental components, and by providing the underlying foundation for a paradigm shift that raises the level of abstraction from simulation of complex systems to the design and uncertainty quantification of these systems.

  • Sequential Quadratic Programming Methods∗
    SEQUENTIAL QUADRATIC PROGRAMMING METHODS∗ Philip E. GILLy Elizabeth WONGy UCSD Department of Mathematics Technical Report NA-10-03 August 2010 Abstract In his 1963 PhD thesis, Wilson proposed the first sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method for the solution of constrained nonlinear optimization problems. In the intervening 48 years, SQP methods have evolved into a powerful and effective class of methods for a wide range of optimization problems. We review some of the most prominent developments in SQP methods since 1963 and discuss the relationship of SQP methods to other popular methods, including augmented Lagrangian methods and interior methods. Given the scope and utility of nonlinear optimization, it is not surprising that SQP methods are still a subject of active research. Recent developments in methods for mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) and the minimization of functions subject to differential equation constraints has led to a heightened interest in methods that may be \warm started" from a good approximate solution. We discuss the role of SQP methods in these contexts. Key words. Large-scale nonlinear programming, SQP methods, nonconvex pro- gramming, quadratic programming, KKT systems.

When the Reynolds number is relatively high, these systems often involve Xiangmin Jiao, Department of Applied Mathematics & Statistics, Institute for millions of degrees of freedom (DOFs), and the nonlinear systems are difficult to Advanced Computational Science, Stony converge, partially due to the strong asymmetry of the system and the saddle-point Brook University, Stony Brook, New York, USA. Email: [email protected] structure. In this work, we propose to alleviate these issues by leveraging a multilevel ILU preconditioner called HILUCSI, which is particularly effective for saddle-point problems and can enable robust and rapid convergence of the inner iterations in Newton-GMRES. We further use Picard iterations with the Oseen systems to hot- start Newton-GMRES to achieve global convergence, also preconditioned using HILUCSI. To further improve efficiency and robustness, we use the Oseen opera- tors as physics-based sparsifiers when building preconditioners for Newton iterations and introduce adaptive refactorization and iterative refinement in HILUCSI. We refer to the resulting preconditioned hybrid Newton-GMRES as HILUNG. We demon- strate the effectiveness of HILUNG by solving the standard 2D driven-cavity problem with Re 5000 and a 3D flow-over-cylinder problem with low viscosity.

  • Trust Region Newton Method for Large-Scale Logistic Regression
    Journal of Machine Learning Research 9 (2008) 627-650 Submitted 4/07; Revised 12/07; Published 4/08 Trust Region Newton Method for Large-Scale Logistic Regression Chih-Jen Lin [email protected] Department of Computer Science National Taiwan University Taipei 106, Taiwan Ruby C. Weng [email protected] Department of Statistics National Chengchi University Taipei 116, Taiwan S. Sathiya Keerthi [email protected] Yahoo! Research Santa Clara, CA 95054, USA Editor: Alexander Smola Abstract Large-scale logistic regression arises in many applications such as document classification and natural language processing. In this paper, we apply a trust region Newton method to maximize the log-likelihood of the logistic regression model. The proposed method uses only approximate Newton steps in the beginning, but achieves fast convergence in the end. Experiments show that it is faster than the commonly used quasi Newton approach for logistic regression. We also extend the proposed method to large-scale L2-loss linear support vector machines (SVM). Keywords: logistic regression, newton method, trust region, conjugate gradient, support vector machines 1. Introduction The logistic regression model is useful for two-class classification. Given data x and weights (w,b), it assumes the following probability model 1 P(y = ±1|x,w)= , 1 + exp(−y(wT x + b)) where y is the class label. If training instances are xi,i = 1,...,l and labels are yi ∈ {1,−1}, one estimates (w,b) by minimizing the negative log-likelihood: l T min ∑ log(1 + e−yi(w xi+b)). w b , i=1 There are numerous applications of logistic regression.

  • CREWES in 2016
    Abstracts CREWES in 2016 It is a pleasure and a privilege to be able to welcome you to the 2016 CREWES Annual Sponsor’s Meeting. We are very much aware that you being here means significant expenditures of time and effort on your part, not just in travel and in the time you spend here, but in making business cases internally to support us. So let me start off with a huge thank-you! I hope you will find, after seeing our students and researchers discuss their work in the coming days, in both the formal and the informal parts of the meeting, that the investment has been worthwhile. I believe you will. CREWES students and researchers are dedicated, curious, imaginative, and technically highly skilled, and when people like that are supported to work together, remarkable things tend to happen. And remarkable things are happening! In this era of geophysical research, when we as a community are learning how to do practical FWI, quantitative interpretation, and wave-theoretic processing, all on data coming from new types of sensor/acquisition technology, being at a focal point of all four, which we are at CREWES, is tremendously exciting. No week has gone by in 2016 without a student coming in to show me a new first. So, you can understand my pride in being able to showcase these firsts here at our meeting. It has been a year of changes, starting with Gary’s retirement at the end of last year. Fortunately it was not goodbye! Gary has been able to collaborate actively with CREWES in 2016, and he will be rolling out some completely new software in our short courses after the meeting.

  • Full Waveform Inversion and the Truncated Newton Method∗
    SIAM REVIEW c 2017 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Vol. 59, No. 1, pp. 153–195 Full Waveform Inversion and the Truncated Newton Method∗ L. M´etivier† R. Brossier‡ S. Operto§ J. Virieux‡ Abstract. Full waveform inversion (FWI) is a powerful method for reconstructing subsurface parame- ters from local measurements of the seismic wavefield. This method consists in minimizing the distance between predicted and recorded data. The predicted data are computed as the solution of a wave-propagation problem. Conventional numerical methods for the solution of FWI problems are gradient-based methods, such as the preconditioned steepest descent, the nonlinear conjugate gradient, or more recently the l-BFGS quasi-Newton algorithm. In this study, we investigate the desirability of applying a truncated Newton method to FWI. The inverse Hessian operator plays a crucial role in the parameter reconstruction, as it should help to mitigate finite-frequency effects and to better remove artifacts arising from multiscattered waves. For multiparameter reconstruction, the inverse Hessian opera- tor also offers the possibility of better removing trade-offs due to coupling effects between parameter classes. The truncated Newton method allows us to better account for this oper- ator. This method is based on the computation of the Newton descent direction by solving the corresponding linear system through the conjugate gradient method. The large-scale nature of FWI problems requires us, however, to carefully implement this method to avoid prohibitive computational costs. First, this requires working in a matrix-free formalism and the capability of efficiently computing Hessian-vector products. For this purpose, we propose general second-order adjoint state formulas.
