Prior-Informed Neural Network Initialization: A Spectral Approach for Function Parameterizing Architectures

  • 基于快速傅里叶变换提取信号周期性先验,优化网络深度与初始状态
  • 降低编码器维度40%以上,重建精度不降,收敛速度提升3倍
  • 适合需要可解释性和高效训练的时序信号建模任务

针对函数参数化神经网络(如Bag-of-Functions框架)对初始化敏感的问题,本文提出一种基于数据先验的谱结构引导初始化方法。通过快速傅里叶变换提取主导周期性先验,指导网络深度与初始状态设置,并采用残差回归建模趋势成分。该结构对齐策略在不牺牲重建保真度的前提下,使编码器维度减少40%以上。理论分析提供了有限样本下趋势估计的指导。在合成与真实世界数据集上的实验表明,引入数据驱动先验可显著加速收敛(平均提速3倍)、降低跨实验性能波动,并提升计算效率。整体框架在不改变训练流程的情况下,实现更紧凑、可解释性强的模型设计。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Neural network architectures designed for function parameterization, such as the Bag-of-Functions (BoF) framework, bridge the gap between the expressivity of deep learning and the interpretability of classical signal processing. However, these models are inherently sensitive to parameter initialization, as traditional data-agnostic schemes fail to capture the structural properties of the target signals, often leading to suboptimal convergence. In this work, we propose a prior-informed design strategy that leverages the intrinsic spectral and temporal structure of the data to guide both network initialization and architectural configuration. A principled methodology is introduced that uses the Fast Fourier Transform to extract dominant seasonal priors, informing model depth and initial states, and a residual-based regression approach to parameterize trend components. Crucially, this structural alignment enables a substantial reduction in encoder dimensionality without compromising reconstruction fidelity. A supporting theoretical analysis provides guidance on trend estimation under finite-sample regimes. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real-world benchmarks demonstrate that embedding data-driven priors significantly accelerates convergence, reduces performance variability across trials, and improves computational efficiency. Overall, the proposed framework enables more compact and interpretable architectures while outperforming standard initialization baselines, without altering the core training procedure.
