  7. Conclusion and References

6.1 Training swarms on manifolds for supervised ML

6.1.1 Maximum likelihood

The paper [115] discusses two methods for training (reconstruction) the system (1). The first method is essentially standard ML backpropagation. Given the likelihood function q(ϕ) = q(ϕ1, . . . , ϕN ) and the data distribution p(ϕ) = p(ϕ1, . . . , ϕN ), the maximum likelihood for the observed data is obtained by differentiating the log-likelihood function and setting the derivative to zero:

where h·iq(ϕ) stands for the mathematical expectation w.r. to distribution q(ϕ).

Equations (36) can be solved by the (stochastic) gradient descent method. This algorithm requires approximations of the gradient by iterative sampling from the distribution q(ϕ).

6.1.2 Score matching

An alternative method for training Kuramoto networks is score matching [117]. This method has been implemented in [115] for reconstruction of small networks (consisting of 4-5 oscillators). Introduce the score function:

6.1.3 Evolutionary optimization (CMA ES)

Yet another class of methods for training Kuramoto networks comes from the field of evolutionary optimization and, most notably, the famous CMA ES algorithm [89]. Many experiments demonstrated that CMA ES is competitive with the gradient-based optimization methods when the dimension is not too large (say, the number of parameters is less than one hundred).

Notice, however, that CMA ES performs an update over the Gaussian family and is adapted to Euclidean spaces. This can be suitable for Kuramoto models of the form (1) (the space of Kij is Euclidean, while phase shifts βij are points on the circle). However, when the problem requires learning over the full space of orthogonal matrices, or points on spheres, CMA ES is no longer suitable. In such cases, one can employ evolutionary optimization over manifolds. The stochastic search algorithms over orthogonal groups and spheres can be implemented by performing an update over statistical models considered in the previous Section.
