Title
A Bilevel Optimization Approach for Parameter Learning in Variational Models.
Abstract
In this work we consider the problem of parameter learning for variational image denoising models. The learning problem is formulated as a bilevel optimization problem, where the lower-level problem is given by the variational model and the higher-level problem is expressed by means of a loss function that penalizes errors between the solution of the lower-level problem and the ground truth data. We consider a class of image denoising models incorporating l(p)-norm-based analysis priors using a fixed set of linear operators. We devise semismooth Newton methods for solving the resulting nonsmooth bilevel optimization problems and show that the optimized image denoising models can achieve state-of-the-art performance.
