A Novel Schur Decomposition-Based Weight Projection Method for Stable State-Space Neural-Network Architectures

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper presents a new projection scheme that uses the Schur decomposition to enforce asymptotic stability in linear discrete-time state-space layers of neural networks. By projecting the quasi-triangular factor of the state matrix onto its nearest stable counterpart, the method maintains stable dynamics while keeping the weight count low. Experiments on synthetic linear systems show comparable accuracy and convergence to state-of-the-art techniques, with reduced overparameterization aiding training of deeper architectures.

A Learning Stability Profile for Finite-Dimensional Learning Dynamics

The paper introduces a finite‑dimensional sensitivity framework called the Learning Stability Profile, which captures how perturbations in inputs, parameter initialization, and update mechanisms propagate along a learning trajectory. It presents a Lyapunov criterion that, under regularity, coercivity, and dissipation assumptions, yields uniform or exponentially decaying bounds on linearized transition operators, distinguishing between terminal decay, boundedness, and subexponential growth. The framework is applied to various learning mechanisms—including feedforward networks, residual architectures, stochastic gradient methods, and locally Lipschitz systems—providing spectral, dissipativity, and contraction‑based stability bounds.

Deep Bayesian Approaches for Interpretable Nonlinear Structural System Identification

The article introduces deep Bayesian filtering techniques for nonlinear structural system identification, emphasizing how learnable dynamics can be integrated with physical inductive biases to achieve uncertainty-aware inference. It reviews key models such as the Deep Markov Model, Physics-guided Deep Markov Model, and Neural Extended Kalman Filter, and evaluates them on a three‑dimensional shear‑frame benchmark with hysteretic Bouc‑Wen connections. The study compares measurement‑conditioned reconstruction versus open‑loop forecasting, explores the impact of physical structure on latent‑state interpretability, and discusses robustness in response and parameter estimation, offering practical guidelines for model construction and deployment.
