Install the Package

Install the required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Overview

The /models folder contains the following models:

• base_mon_net
  • abstract base class for all monotone networks, which are implicit networks formed by repeatedly passing through same monotone layer
  • based on https://github.com/locuslab/monotone_op_net/blob/master/mon.py
• mon_net_AD
  • monotone network trained via automatic differentation (AD)
• mon_net_JFB
  • monotone network trained via Jacobian free backpropagation (JFB)
  • performs fixed number of iterations then backpropagates through last iteration only
• mon_net_JFB_R
  • monotone network trained via Jacobian free backpropagation (JFB), but with random selection of the number of iterations
• mon_net_JFB_CSBO
  • monotone network trained via Jacobian free backpropagation (JFB), but with random selection of the number of iterations and use of the gradient estimator $\hat{v} = \hat{v}1 + \frac{1}{p_k}(\hat{v}{k+1}-\hat{v}_k)$
  • inspired by https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.18535
